FREE Lifetime Maintenance on New Systems
“I do not consider a sale complete until goods are worn out and the customer still satisfied.” — Leon L. Bean, Founder, L.L.Bean
We are always honored when a customer trusts us replacing an old AC or furnace, and installing a brand new system in their home.
Because, as every HVAC professional knows, the quality of the install matters more than the brand or specifications on the equipment. In fact, the more sophisticated the system, the better the install has to be.
So we don’t want you to just be happy with the installation process and the quality of our stubbornly honest techs and their work.
We want you to STILL be happy with the system you bought for us 16 years or more down the road.
And the best way to ensure that is to provide Free Lifetime Maintenance on the system. Because fall and spring tune-ups matter. [Link to tune-ups page/copy]
Those tune-ups are the difference between 18-20 years of dependable service, or having an expensive repair only 7-8 years in.
So we don’t leave them up to chance. We provide them for free and call you to schedule them each spring and fall.
And that’s with any system, bought in any season.
Buy a furnace in winter? Get free maintenance — on both your AC and Furnace!
Buy an AC in summer? Get free maintenance on both your AC and Furnace!
Free maintenance: because the best discount is getting 5 or more years of dependable service out of your system for free.
Signs It’s Time for a Heater Replacement
It can be challenging to tell when to replace your heater. After all, nobody wants to invest in a new system if they don’t have to.
However, here are some signs that it might be time to consider a heater replacement:
- Frequent repairs: If you’re calling for repairs more often than you’d like, it’s time to stop pouring money into an old system and start thinking about a replacement. The cost of constant repairs can quickly add up.
- Age of the system: Most heaters last about 10 to 15 years. If your system is nearing that age, it’s a good idea to start planning for a replacement before it breaks down completely.
- High energy bills: If your energy bills are creeping up without any major change in usage, your heater might be losing efficiency. Newer systems are much more energy-efficient, which can lead to lower utility costs.
- Inconsistent heating: If some rooms in your house are always too cold while others are too warm, your heater might need help distributing heat properly.
- Strange noises or smells: Banging, rattling, or unusual smells from your heater often indicate something’s wrong internally. In some cases, these issues indicate it’s time for a replacement.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth calling us. We’ll assess your current system and recommend whether a repair will do the trick or if it’s time for an upgrade.
Benefits of Replacing Your Heater
Replacing an old heater comes with some clear advantages and benefits.
Beyond just staying warm, here’s what you can expect from upgrading your heating system:
- Energy efficiency: Modern heaters are far more efficient than older models, which means lower energy bills for you. The savings from reduced energy usage can offset the cost of a new system.
- Better comfort: A new heater will provide even, reliable heating throughout your home, eliminating those annoying cold spots that old systems sometimes struggle with.
- Quieter operation: Newer models run quietly, so you won’t have to deal with the constant noise that can come from older units.
- Fewer repairs: With a new system in place, you won’t have to worry about frequent breakdowns or the cost of unexpected repairs.
- Improved air quality: New heating systems can help improve the air quality in your home by filtering out dust, allergens, and other particles more effectively.
