We\u2019re deep into the fall now\u2014it\u2019s past Halloween\u2014and the temperatures are making their slow and sure drop down to what will eventually be the full cold of winter. So if you haven\u2019t gotten your heating maintenance done yet, right now is a great time to have it done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why now is a good time for maintenance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technically, the only requirement for heating maintenance is to have it done once a year. But there are several reasons why scheduling <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is far better than waiting:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll get the most out of the benefits of maintenance if you have it done close to the winter season. You won\u2019t have a late start when the weather is already cold, and you won\u2019t have it done so far ahead of the cold that the heater will have time to develop troubles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The weather still isn\u2019t so cold that you must have your heater running regularly. You can afford to have it down for an hour or two while the technicians work on it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our technicians have more open schedules during the fall because we aren\u2019t dealing with a deluge of emergency calls to either fix a heater or an air conditioner.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s simple to have maintenance done: call us to get on the schedule. Even better, sign up for one of our Preventative Maintenance Comfort Plans, and you\u2019ll have heating and air conditioning maintenance taken care of in the future. As a member of a Comfort Plan, you\u2019ll receive special members-only benefits, such as discounts on parts and labor and no overtime fees. Our team is glad to help you find the right plan and enroll you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Please don\u2019t skip maintenance!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope if you\u2019ve read this far, you\u2019re set on scheduling maintenance as soon as you can. But maybe you\u2019re wondering if you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> need it this year. \u201cDoes it have to be every year?\u201d you might ask. The answer is a big YES.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For starters, you may void the warranty on your heating system without annual professional maintenance. During heating repairs, you may need to show proof of regular service in order for the warranty to cover parts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annual maintenance is also essential to keep your heating system running safely. This is vital if you have a gas furnace, as many in our area do. Safety inspections are a key part of our maintenance service. Furnaces are much more likely to turn hazardous if they miss out on these inspections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance is also a money-saver for you. You\u2019ll run into less need for <\/span><a href=\"\/service-areas\/essex-vt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heating repair in Essex, VT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because maintenance prevents the majority of them. That not only saves you money, but it also stops surprise breakdowns on the worst cold days. Maintenance helps a heater work at its maximum efficiency, which will keep your heating bills from gradually rising year after year. Finally, maintenance will see that your heater runs for as long as possible, rather than needing to be replaced years too early.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Red Rock Mechanical, LLC serves Northwest Vermont and Northeast New York. <\/b><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Call today to arrange for your heating maintenance before the winter cold arrives!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several reasons why scheduling heating maintenance now is far better than waiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[76],"tags":[111,94,99],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1737"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1737"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1739,"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1737\/revisions\/1739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.redrockmechanical.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
