AIR RESCUE
Heating and Cooling

Just like a car, your HVAC system needs regular maintenance to operate at peak efficiency and performance.  Regular preventive maintenance also helps to extend the lifespan of your system and can help detect potential problems before they occur, avoiding a costly breakdown or part replacement.  Another, less-obvious benefit of regular system maintenance involves indoor air quality, which can be adversely affected by dirty filters, coils and blower parts within your HVAC system.  Regular cleaning of these components significantly reduces contamination of your indoor air, making for a healthier household and happier living environment. 

 An air conditioning tune-up and inspection will help catch service problems before they get you hot under the collar. Many breakdowns occur on the hottest day of the year—because that’s when your a/c is under the most stress. And because a tune-up ensures that your system will run at peak efficiency, you’ll lower your electric bills. A system that’s running efficiently can save you as much as 30% on your cooling costs. So give us a call to schedule your annual tune up! 

Dirt is the biggest enemy of your furnace.  It can waste fuel and drastically lower efficiency.  In some cases, dirt buildup can even cause the furnace to overheat.   Furnaces burn gas to create heat in your home using a process called combustion. Although normally extremely safe, when a furnace is not properly maintained, there are some problems that can occur in this process.

• Carbon monoxide poisoning - Carbon monoxide is a toxic invisible and odorless gas that is created from incomplete combustion. Furnaces that have not been regularly maintained are much more likely to produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
• Gas leaks - Natural gas leaks in your home can be a recipe for disaster. During a furnace tune-up the technician will make sure there are no cracks in your heat exchanger and burner assembly.

Getting your furnace checked annually helps you avoid costly breakdowns, reduce your heating costs, increase your furnace's lifespan and protect your family. (And if your furnace is new, they also help maintain your manufacturer's warranty.) Scheduling an annual checkup for your furnace is the most important part of regular furnace maintenance. 

Maintaining the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of your home not only makes you feel better, it also helps you breathe better.  Keeping your HVAC system clean and properly maintained goes a long way toward improving IAQ, but there may be other things you can do to keep your home’s air healthy and fresh. 

When it comes to preventive maintenance, there’s no time like the present.  Heating and cooling tune-ups or preventive maintenance can be performed at any time of the year.  AIR RESCUE knows how to check the operation of your HVAC equipment under all kinds of conditions and during every season.  For maximum system effectiveness, it’s advised that you have at least two tune-ups per year — one for your heating system and one for your cooling.
