Spring is the Ideal Time for Preventative Maintenance

We’ve just finished an unrelentingly cold winter in the Northeast, and believe it or not, hot summer weather is only a few weeks away. Even though your furnace, boiler or heat pump is getting a rest finally, you’ll soon be turning to your home’s cooling system to keep you comfortable.

At this point in the year, Mirabito Heating & Cooling encourages all customers to arrange preventative maintenance appointments. Not only could your heating equipment use some attention after a busy winter, but it’s a smart move to arrange an air conditioning tune-up before summer arrives.

What Are the Benefits of Preventative Maintenance?

Preventative maintenance is a relatively inexpensive investment that pays off in some significant ways. Here are the advantages of getting your heating and cooling systems a regular tune-up:

1. Improved Home Comfort: Maintenance from a professional HVAC technician will keep the warm and cool air flowing more consistently and reliably. Well-maintained systems also lead to better indoor air quality.
2. Superior Energy Efficiency: Neglecting regular maintenance will cause your systems’ efficiency to deteriorate, and you’ll end up spending more money throughout the year on oil, gas or electricity.
3. Fewer Breakdowns: Our technicians are experts at identifying lingering system issues and fixing them before they lead to a breakdown.
4. Long Service Life: Want to get the most time from your home comfort systems? Maintenance is the key to doing that.
5. Manufacturer’s Warranty: Your equipment’s manufacturer probably requires annual maintenance to keep the warranty in place. If you skip a tune-up, you could be on the hook to pay for a repair that your manufacturer would normally cover.

In short, every household can experience considerable benefits by arranging preventative maintenance from a skilled HVAC team like Mirabito.

How Often Should Heating and Cooling Systems Receive Maintenance?

As a general rule, you should have your heating equipment and A/C tuned up once a year. This ensures the best efficiency and reliability for your home comfort systems and keeps you within the required service schedule for your manufacturer’s warranty.

That said, feel free to reach out to our team to discuss the ideal maintenance schedule for your heating and cooling equipment.

Have Mirabito Tune Up Your Equipment This Spring!

When is the best time to schedule preventative maintenance? We recommend you get your equipment scheduled in more temperate months in the spring. Why?

1. Your home comfort won’t be impacted while our technicians are working on your heating and cooling equipment.
2. Our team members won’t be on the road constantly responding to “no heat” emergencies, so you’ll have a better selection of appointment times.
3. You can do BOTH your heating system and A/C system. You’ll be all set for the summer ahead and for next winter. Don’t worry — your heating tune-up won’t “wear off” in the next few months.
