We understand that people often don\u2019t want to spend money on a maintenance program, and would rather simply pay whenever they need to schedule a repair job. But signing up for a maintenance program with a professional HVAC company is an <em>investment<\/em>. And it\u2019s one that will pay off in the future, over and over again.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Here are some of the ways that a regular maintenance visit for your heater will help you save money year after year:<\/p>\n<h3>Keep up the heater\u2019s energy efficiency<\/h3>\n<p>Your heating system has an energy efficiency rating that shows how well it converts its energy source (electricity, natural gas, etc.) into heating power. Furnaces and boilers have an AFUE rating, heat pumps have an HSPF rating. But if the heater doesn\u2019t receive maintenance every year, its efficiency rating will start to decline\u2014an average of 5% each year, perhaps more. That means in only a few years you will be paying a fifth to a quarter more than you should to run your heater. Maintenance will keep your heating bills under control.<\/p>\n<h3>Prevent needless repairs<\/h3>\n<p>A large part of what a maintenance technician does on the job is work to prevent future repair troubles. Around 85% of the repairs that a heater may need during its lifetime are because of lack of maintenance. Think of all the repairs that you <em>won\u2019t<\/em> have to pay for because of annual inspections and tune-ups!<\/p>\n<h3>Delay replacing the heater<\/h3>\n<p>You want your heating system to endure for as many years as possible. That way you receive the best return on your initial investment. But if the heater wears down rapidly because it didn\u2019t receive routine maintenance, you will end up needing to replace the system years too early\u2014which is the biggest money waste of all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Call Hall\u2019s Heating, Air Conditioning &amp; Refrigeration today to <a href=\"\/maintenance-program\">sign up for our proactive service agreement to provide your heater (and AC) with annual maintenance<\/a>.
