During an annual inspection, a technician is able to identify damaged or failing parts, excessive build up or corrosion and potential health risks to you and your family. This assessment of your heating and cooling system allows us to address issues before they cause long term damage or premature failure to your equipment.
Regular preventive maintenance, performed twice a year (once for heating and once for cooling), can help your system keep up with seasonal temperature swings. Plus, it can increase the performance of your HVAC system as a whole and help you avoid costly emergency repairs—because no one wants to be left without heat in the middle of a snowstorm or cooling during a heatwave. While most newer heating and cooling systems require little maintenance, a quick tune-up can greatly extend the life of your equipment, ensuring it always runs at peak efficiency.
Bi-annual preventative maintenance will ensure that your system runs as efficiently as possible. Your Gas Pros technician has a comprehensive checklist to follow that we have consistently updated over the past 20 years to keep up with today's equipment and technologies.
