We’ve had unseasonably warm temperatures so far this fall, so your furnace is probably the last thing on your mind right now. But, getting your heating system maintained is an important step toward ensuring that it runs well this winter. Unfortunately, many people think that preventive maintenance is just another way heating contractors try to make money, and that it isn’t really necessary. That couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, ENERGY STAR strongly recommends it.
Their website states, “Maintain your equipment to prevent future problems and unwanted costs. Keep your cooling and heating system at peak performance by having a contractor do annual pre-season check-ups.” At Family Danz, we offer fall preventive maintenance because we actually like saving you money. We know in our experience that the heating systems that most often fail on those cold winter nights are the ones that haven’t received proper maintenance.
Lack of maintenance can cause both large and small problems with your system.
At the very least, systems that go unchecked are often inefficient because of clogged, dirty filters and moving parts that haven’t been lubricated. These things make your system work harder and can make your energy bills more costly. At the most, unmaintained systems fail to the point they are beyond repair, and have to be replaced at a cost that most homeowners have not prepared for. So if you want to ensure that your heating system is reliable, safe and operating smoothly. And, a Family Danz heating system maintenance plan offers more than just an annual tune-up. You’ll also receive:
- Priority Scheduling for Emergency Services
- 15 Percent Discount on Parts and Labor
- 24-Hour Emergency Service
- No Overtime Rates
To get the preventive maintenance you need, simply call us at (518) 427-8685. We will be more than happy to assist you.
Nobody likes to think about replacing the furnace in their home. Furnaces are expensive, and too many times the need to purchase one seems to come at an inconvenient time. The worst-case scenario is experiencing a furnace breakdown that cannot be repaired, causing you to have to make an emergency purchase. But with some careful research and planning, having a 
When November rolls around, most people start to think about the oncoming winter. Although last year was fairly mild, as New Yorkers we never can be quite sure what the winter months are going to bring. One thing is for sure, though – as the temperatures start to dip down, it’s important to have a heating system that’s ready to handle the winter chill. And, just as importantly, you need a heating contractor who can handle your home’s heating needs, no matter what type of system you have installed.
Have you been thinking about having a new heating system installed in your home, but you’re not sure if you want to make the investment? If you have an older system that doesn’t run as effectively or as efficiently as it used to, it may very well be a worthy investment. 
Your home heating system is easy to take for granted, especially when it’s working well and you and your family are enjoying warmth and comfort. But like any other equipment, a furnace needs regular maintenance in order to perform optimally. Neglecting annual maintenance for your home heating equipment can result in your furnace not operating effectively and efficiently, or worse, breaking down altogether. How does heating maintenance help your furnace live a longer, more efficient life? Home Energy Pros, a subsidiary of the U.S. Dept. of Energy, provides some answers.
