This is still winter, after all. Maintenance work is generally performed in the fall, and there are better times to do it. We want to remind you that it's still possible to schedule this yearly maintenance check if you still need to. No matter how late, any maintenance is preferable to none.

If you forgot about heater maintenance and it was still operational last fall, you can have it done now. You'll stand to gain in more ways than one, after all.

So why should I bother with maintenance in the first place?

If you still need to schedule maintenance for the year, you may wonder if it's too late. We get your point of view, but it's still worth arguing why it's worthwhile. It is possible to feel like it is too late sometimes.

Don't worry if your heater hasn't broken down yet; you can still benefit from maintenance. The heater will benefit much from the time and effort you put into performing the maintenance activities.

4 Benefits That Maintenance Can Still Offer You

In such a case, why take the time to do maintenance? Because in addition to these benefits, it can also give you greater tranquility.

  1. Better Energy Efficiency: What is the most significant effect that fixing a clogged filter or tightening loose parts in your heater will have on your heater's energy efficiency? How inefficient with energy! But a maintenance service might fix these small problems and get your heating system working as well as it should. Not to mention, this helps keep your energy costs down.
  2. Improved heating output: Cleaning the filter increases airflow, increasing the heating efficiency. Your heater will function better once you've tightened the various components. Plus, more precise and pleasant temperature regulation is possible with an improved system. If you arrange for service right away, you can get this.
  3. Fewer heating system repairs needed: No one in Washington County and surrounding regions wants to deal with a broken heating system. Repairs may be kept to a minimum by just keeping up with routine maintenance. If problems are fixed as soon as they are seen, they won't need to be fixed, which would save money. Your time, money, and sanity will all be spared in the end if you do this.
  4. Long Lifespan: Heaters always fighting off a host of minor problems and requiring frequent repairs have a life expectancy of about 10 years. Due to the reduced stress from normal wear and tear, a heater that has been properly maintained can live far longer. It is more likely that your heater will last for 15 years before it needs to be replaced.

There is no need to go to extremes when maintaining your electrical system. You may help maintain the efficient use of your electrical systems by implementing a few simple routines into your daily, monthly, and annual routines. Including some preventative upkeep in your regular housekeeping practice is beneficial in more ways than one. It can help you save money, head off greater problems, and provide the peace of mind that every homeowner seeks.

Customer Testimonials

See what our happy customers have to say about their experience with Best Owner Direct HVAC & Electrical and why they continue to choose us for their home comfort needs.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Alma H.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
