Georgetown TX Home Maintenance Schedule

Why Heating and Cooling Maintenance is a Must-Do

Having your heater and AC unit serviced annually is one of the most important pieces of home maintenance. We depend on heating and cooling units to help us feel comfortable. If either system breaks down – particularly during a deep freeze or a heat wave – it’s not just uncomfortable. That can be a safety issue, particularly for elderly family members. 

Even if your system seems to be running smoothly, a simple tuneup can shed light on issues that are hidden. For example, a crack in your furnace could cause a carbon monoxide leak. 

Finally – if your home comfort system isn’t running at peak performance, you’ll experience higher energy bills year-round. So make absolutely sure you schedule service of your heating and cooling system annually to protect the safety and comfort of your family!
