Have you scheduled your heating maintenance yet?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you work in the HVAC industry, that is the standard greeting for when October rolls around each year. Spring may officially start in September, but there\u2019s something about the dry crisp air of October and the Halloween decorations that make people realize that fall has arrived in full\u2014and it\u2019s time for those important fall upkeep tasks. For HVAC professionals, that means telling their clients why their <a href=\"\/heating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heating in Colorado Springs, CO<\/a> needs routine maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>We make it simple to have annual maintenance through our Residential Energy Savings Agreement. You\u2019ll receive annual or semi-annual HVAC system tune-ups as well as membership benefits: a 15% discount on repairs, special priority scheduling, protection against inflation if the membership fees increase, 24-hour emergency service, and friendly reminders from our staff to schedule an appointment so you won\u2019t forget.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s go into the big benefits of October heating maintenance, which are the benefits to the heater itself:<\/p>\n<h3>Longer equipment life<\/h3>\n<p>A heater with regular care from professionals will enjoy a longer service life compared to one that misses out. How much longer? A furnace that would last 15 years without trouble might end up only running for 8 years if it doesn\u2019t have maintenance. Missing out on that many years of heating is expensive!<\/p>\n<h3>Lower energy bills<\/h3>\n<p>As a heating system runs through one cold winter after the other, it starts to decline in efficiency. It works harder to do the same job, and that means you\u2019ll see a rise in the cost to operate it. Maintenance slows this down so you\u2019ll pay less to run the heater. Most heating systems that have regular maintenance will keep 95% of their original efficiency until they\u2019re ready to be replaced.<\/p>\n<h3>Reduced need for repairs<\/h3>\n<p>Another benefit of preventing the heater from aging rapidly is that you\u2019ll prevent the majority of repairs the system might otherwise need. This saves money as well as prevents interruptions in your comfort when you need the heater the most.<\/p>\n<h3>Stop surprise breakdowns<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of comfort interruptions \u2026 the last thing you want to happen during one of the coldest evenings of the year is to have the heater stop working. You have access to 24-hour repair service from us, but we can\u2019t be there instantly and sometimes the heater may be beyond basic repairs. Maintenance gives you the best defense against this kind of unexpected failure.<\/p>\n<h3>Safety<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a gas-powered heating system\u2014which most homes in the area do\u2014maintenance inspections are critical for keeping the heater working safely. You never want to put your household at risk because of a poorly cared-for furnace!<\/p>\n<h3>Warranty protection<\/h3>\n<p>You may void the manufacturer\u2019s warranty on your heating system if you allow it to go without maintenance\u2014and that can mean you\u2019ll have to pay for repairs that the warranty would\u2019ve otherwise covered, including a replacement for a faulty system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Robbins Heating &amp; Air Conditioning serves Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service#content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Call us to sign up for our Residential Energy Savings Agreement.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We make it simple to have annual maintenance through our Residential Energy Savings Agreement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[76],"tags":[89,49],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1346"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1349,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346\/revisions\/1349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robbinsheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
