Ideally, you don’t want to deal with any kind of heater or AC emergency. Here are some of the top reasons why these systems fail:

• Improper Preventive Maintenance – Improper preventive maintenance is the number one reason for emergency calls. Consult your system’s owner’s manual regarding necessary preventive maintenance, including regularly changing filters. You should also schedule an annual professional maintenance visit for tasks such as professionally cleaning and attending to system components and verifying fluid levels. These simple routine tasks are essential to the efficiency, reliability, and safety of your AC system or furnace.
• Inexperienced Service – Professional repair is essential to the safety and reliability of heating and cooling equipment. Opt for expert service to prevent the need for inconvenient, costly, and possibly dangerous emergency repair needs caused by inexperienced technicians.
• Outdated Systems – Aging heating and cooling systems are far more prone to leave you high and dry than newer, more reliable, and more efficient models. If you are paying for repeated repairs and emergency service calls, consider the 50% rule: When the cost of repairs approaches 50% of the value of your system, you’re typically better off financially in the long run upgrading your system.
