It is often easy to overlook the benefits of HVAC preventative maintenance because it is primary functionality of the home that is out of sight out of mind.  Taking preventative measures to ensure the performance of your HVAC system not only is a great investment of both time and money, but it also can help keep your home and the ones you love inside it safe.

When an HVAC system is not being routinely maintained, it often works harder in order to meet the temperature you set on your thermostat.  Naturally, your system uses more energy in order to achieve your indoor comfort goals costing you more money on your monthly utility bills.  Did you know that HVAC equates to 46% of the average American home's energy consumption?

As your HVAC system works harder to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, it also increases it's risk of failure.  Many of the HVAC repairs we service are issues that could have been easily avoided with routine annual HVAC maintenance.

This rings especially true for home heating systems where carbon monoxide can leak into the air inside the home due to things like a cracked heat exchanger.  The truth is, there are a lot of chemicals that are used in heating and cooling systems that need to be checked on a regular basis to ensure safety inside the home.

Just like almost every other structural aspect of your home, your HVAC system is an investment.  An investment that can go bad quickly if it is not receiving proper maintenance.  Many HVAC systems that fall into despair and are broke beyond fixing usually could have been salvaged if they were maintained.  Vice versa, many of the older systems still running properly are ones we visit every Spring and Fall.

Heartland offers a wide variety of HVAC maintenance services.  We pretty much offer maintenance for every type of residential heating and cooling system.  Some of the more popular HVAC maintenance we provide include:

Having an AC tune up done at the beginning of every Spring or Summer is critical to the functionality of that unit.  Unlike heating systems which are often located indoors, AC units are located outside.  During the harsh Winter months, they take a pretty significant beating from the weather.  Then all of a sudden, you kick it back on and expect it to hit the ground running as if it didn't miss a beat.  Heartland offers a $99 AC tune up for homeowners wanting to make sure their AC is up to speed when they depend on it most.  Schedule your AC tune up today by calling (618) 684-4328.

As part of our $99 AC tune up, our technicians will check your AC unit's refrigerant levels.  However, if we find that your air conditioner needs coolant, that is an additional service.  Heartland offers AC recharges for all types of AC systems including R22 air conditioners and R410a air conditioners.  Schedule your home AC recharge today by calling (618) 684-4328.

When it comes time every year to kick your furnace on for the first time, you are usually met with an awkward burning smell.  Most the time this is normal, but often serves as a simple reminder that your heating system has not been used for a significant amount of time.  Behind the scenes, many components are being put to the test for the first time in months.  Make sure all your equipment is functioning properly by scheduling a $99 furnace tune up by calling (618) 684-4328.

A major benefit to using a heat pump for your heating and cooling needs is that they are extremely energy efficient.  The downside is that if they aren't working at 100%, they tend to really see a dip in performance when the weather fluctuates.  It can often lead to supplemental heating needed to be installed to help maintain comfortable temperatures in the Winter months.  Make sure your heat pump is ready by scheduling a heat pump tune up by calling (618) 684-4328.

Home boiler systems are becoming less and less common as almost all new home construction over the last sixty plus years have been built with central air systems.  However, homes that still rely on radiant heating usually do so by choice.  The heat boilers produce often carries a higher degree of moisture and feels much more comfortable than dryer heat produced by central air systems.  In order to captialize on this major benefit, home boiler systems often require slightly more maintenance.  Especially steam boilers that can put a lot of strain on the piping used to distribute the heat throughout the home.  Boiler repair can often be more extensive and expensive which is another major benefit to making sure your residential boiler system is receiving routine maintenance.  Schedule your boiler tune up today by calling (618) 684-4328.
