Preventive Care Advantages

Regular maintenance includes:

1. Cleaning or replacing air filters
2. Checking electrical connections
3. Lubricating moving parts
4. Inspecting heat exchangers
5. Testing thermostat accuracy

Long-term Cost Savings

Think of fall maintenance as an investment rather than an expense. By addressing minor issues before they become major problems, you can:

• Prevent unexpected breakdowns
• Avoid emergency repair costs
• Maintain manufacturer warranty coverage

Indoor Air Quality Impact

Clean, well-maintained systems provide better air quality throughout your home, which is especially important during winter months when windows stay closed.
