But if you&#8217;re a fan of the seasons changing, then thinking about it this way might be easier for you and your calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year around this time, homeowners begin switching from their cooling systems to their heating systems. We know that temperatures aren&#8217;t exactly low yet, but they will be and you&#8217;ll need to rely on powerful heating if you&#8217;re going to comfortably make it through the winter. However, this transition from cooling to heating can get bumpy, and maintenance is the perfect way to smooth the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This September, whether you&#8217;ve got a heat pump that&#8217;s been working all summer, or a furnace that&#8217;s waiting on standby to be turned on, why not invest in <a href=\"\/maintenance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HVAC maintenance?<\/a> This service will go a long way in making your home more efficient and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Maintenance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance is a service that we, and many other HVAC companies offer, that centers around adjusting, tuning up, and maintaining your HVAC technology. It might sound like a supplementary service that customers can invest in if they feel like it, but that&#8217;s a broad misconception that&#8217;s been circulating lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance is a necessary service for a few reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, routine maintenance is going to be required if you have a warranty covering your air conditioning or heating system. This is usually listed in the fine print, but it&#8217;s essential that you keep that warranty for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, when you hear about a system&#8217;s lifespan (like a central air conditioner&#8217;s 10-15 year lifespan), this includes yearly maintenance. Air conditioning and heating systems actually last fewer years if they&#8217;re unmaintained, which is another way of saying that maintenance is required if you&#8217;d like to achieve the most potential from your system. HVAC technology is expensive, so the longer you go without needing to replace the system, the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Maintenance Helps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance isn&#8217;t just necessary for the above-mentioned reasons, it&#8217;s also beneficial to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance includes adjustments where a licensed technician thoroughly inspects and adjusts the interior components of your system, letting you know if there are any problems that could get worse over time. They&#8217;ll lubricate ball bearings, tighten screws, and ensure that your system works as effectively and efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that your air conditioner or heating system will work to the best of its ability and cost less to operate year after year. That&#8217;s a big deal when temperatures start getting too hot or too cold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seasonal Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why are we talking about maintenance now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, maintenance is a great idea to invest in during the spring or fall. During September, temperatures are relatively mild and our phone lines are open, which means we can schedule a maintenance appointment that&#8217;s convenient to you. Also, this is right before the heating season, so you&#8217;ve got time to address your heater&#8217;s needs. And don&#8217;t forget, if you&#8217;ve got a heat pump, it requires maintenance twice a year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Schedule an appointment<\/a> with 24Hr Home Comfort Services Inc., <em>Your Heating and Cooling Specialists!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This service will go a long way in making your home more efficient and comfortable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,80],"tags":[90,89],"class_list":["post-421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lake-in-the-hills","category-our-maintenance-plan","tag-hvac-maintenance","tag-lake-in-the-hills"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":769,"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421\/revisions\/769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.24hrhcs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
