The Importance of Regular HVAC Maintenance
Snow is falling across Northern Virginia right now and for most, that means their heating system has kicked on. Your heating system has probably been dormant for some time and, since the weather has been so inconsistent lately, chances are that your heating system has not had the opportunity to run for an extended amount of time.
Performing maintenance on your heating and cooling system is a necessity as winter approaches. By the time that most people realize that there could be a problem with their HVAC systems, it is already too late. The damage could be a financial burden and could also leave you and your family without heating or cooling for an extended amount of time.
