How a Fall Heating Check Saves Money During North Texas Freezes
How to put some money back in your pocket with a Fall Heating Check when North Texas freezes
Last winter saw your heating bills run up more than you would have liked? You may be concerned the furnace will give out on the coldest night of the year. Or perhaps you have thought that some forethought could mean the difference and keep a large repair bill at bay.
That is precisely how one ought to be thinking as fall sets in. We at Dallas Plumbing & Air Conditioning can vouch for the wisdom of a fall heating check before the first freeze; we have been putting North Texas families at ease in their homes since 1903. Put in a call to 214-227-9459 and let us put you on our calendar ahead of the cold rush.
The way North Texas winters take people by surprise
You do not get an easy transition into winter here in North Texas. The air conditioner is running one week, then a hard freeze comes down on Dallas, Fort Worth and the counties around them. Such an abrupt change is hard on a heating system left to its own devices for months.
Then there is this: a freeze has everyone cranking up the heat. Should yours decide to stop working that evening you are in a contest with hundreds of other homeowners to book a repair. A check in the fall preempts any such scramble.
The financial sense of a Fall Heating Check
There is more to a tune-up than comfort, it is also good for the wallet. A seasonal check makes its money back in these ways:
- Nipping incipient problems in the bud so they do not become costly breakdowns in a freeze.
- An efficient system means lower energy costs each month.
- Your furnace will last longer, putting off the day you have to fork over for a new one.
- There is less likelihood of an emergency call when wait times are longest.
- Even heating in the home so there is no need to burn extra fuel at the thermostat.
For the most part, simple maintenance is where the savings are to be had. A technician will be on to a clogged filter or dirty burner that is siphoning off your money month in and month out.
What to expect from a heating check
Homeowners sometimes have their doubts as to what is involved. Our team is quite thorough. We will be inspecting and cleaning the components important for the system to function properly, checking the filters and airflow for efficiency and testing the thermostat to see that the house is at the set temperature. We also make sure the system is safe and look for any wear and tear that might spell trouble in mid-winter.
Too many systems are neglected for years. Then a problem rears its head during a freeze, making for a stressful time and one where getting repairs done is no easy matter.
A matter of timing
We recommend an early fall check for a reason. If we find a part in need of replacing or a system that must be put right, you can do it at your convenience and not in an emergency.
Of course, if you put it off till the cold is upon you, you will be calling for help on the season’s busiest night. We have 24/7 service for that eventuality (regular rates are in effect to 8pm on a weekday and 4pm Saturday). But you will save and have fewer worries by scheduling in advance.
