BENEFITS OF A FURNACE TUNE-UP

We can’t stress enough how important regular maintenance is for HVAC equipment. Some of the biggest benefits include:

Fewer Breakdowns

During a furnace maintenance service, our technicians will inspect the entire system from top to bottom. During this furnace service, they can spot any minor issues and recommend the right solution before the problem grows more serious and expensive to fix. This can save you hundreds of dollars in furnace repair costs.

Improved Efficiency

Furnace tune-ups can help improve the efficiency of your heating system by up to 40%. When your furnace uses less energy to heat your home, you’ll save on monthly energy bills and your furnace will run less frequently – which could even help extend its life span.

Furnace May Last Longer

Speaking of a furnace’s life span, furnaces can often last 15-20 years, but only when regular maintenance is performed. Furnaces that don’t receive regular maintenance – or no maintenance at all – may be at higher risk of failure after just 10-15 years or earlier, causing you to spend more money prematurely on furnace installation.

Improved Air Quality

Furnace tune-ups can also improve the air quality of your home. A technician will clean out necessary components that affect indoor air quality such as the blower and air filter. Improved air quality is especially important for people who suffer from asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses.

Quieter Operation

An important component of furnace maintenance is tightening and lubricating all moving parts. This can prevent parts from breaking down and reduce the furnace noise while in operation.

Carbon Monoxide Check

During a maintenance visit, a technician from A-1 United will check electrical connections to ensure they’re tight and that there are no cracks in the heat exchanger. A cracked heat exchanger can emit deadly carbon monoxide.

OUR REVIEWS SAY IT ALL

Great job by all. They were careful of the landscape replacing the A/C unit. Inside the heating system was replaced and the fit and finish was great. Explained the operation of everything. They came back two weeks later and checked out the operation of the systems plus installation. The tech was here over an hour checking out everything. New system is quiet. This is a company that care about its customer. We highly recommend A-1.
