Annual Maintenance of Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
There is nothing quite as irritating as when something we depend on breaks down. Take the following maintenance-related quiz:
TRUE OR FALSE? The cost and inconvenience of most breakdowns can be avoided with proper maintenance.
TRUE OR FALSE? Every equipment manufacturer recommends annual maintenance to ensure proper operation.
TRUE OR FALSE? Every 10 minutes that your gas furnace runs, it unleashes the equivalent energy of 3.5 sticks of dynamite.
TRUE OR FALSE? If you drove your car for as many hours as a typical gas furnace runs, your car would have had enough time
to drive over 160,000 km.
All of the above statements are true, and this is why Rodman's Heating & Air Conditioning puts an emphasis on annual preventative maintenance. There is
nothing better for your heating and/or air conditioning system than annual maintenance. Annual maintenance allows your system to work at peak efficiency year
in and year out. A heating or air conditioning system that is maintained annually experiences considerably fewer breakdowns. You'll enjoy the peace of mind
in knowing that your system is saving you money on your utility bills every time it comes on. In some instances, the energy savings are enough to pay the
cost of the planned annual maintenance service.
