Servicing your heat pump, heater or air conditioner should be a priority when a problem is discovered. Don't wait ever wait till the "right time" for repairs. Take care of problems immediately! Maintenance and service can save your unit from more extensive damage, health risks and major headaches!
Lots of people will wait until the very last minute to get any kind of service. If it is winter time and the air conditioner is not working properly, they will simply wait until the spring or summer arrives and the heat is unbearable before they pick up the phone, but then, guess what? You may have to wait even longer for a service company to come fix your problem. The same thing goes for heat pumps and/ or heaters.
It doesn't just end there though, repair and service should be taken care of as problems arise. Again, don't wait; things can get worse, damage the system beyond repair, which would lead to the additional costs of having to buy a new system. The problem could even become potentially hazardous and deadly; for example, old heaters and CO/carbon monoxide leaks.
Please note, every home should have an audible carbon monoxide detector. It can safe yours and your families lives! They are affordable and worth every penny!
Now, before you go calling up just any ol' repairman in town and asking them to come right over you need to get some info and ask some questions! You will want to call around and compare rates. Look at how long companies have been in business. You may also want to see if you can find some testimonials about a company's previous work. There are many great websites online now that give in-depth reviews from customers. This can be an easy way of saving yourself and your bank account some hurtin' in the end.
Also check and see if the company you are considering is licensed and bonded. These things are very important in finding the right person to work on your heating unit, heat pump or air conditioner. Wouldn't it be terrible if you had to pay someone else to work on your units again because the first "professional" totally goofed up? It's happened plenty of times! So be sure and do your homework!
So in closing, remember, don't wait, take care of any and every problem immediately AND when you are looking for a repair service company, research them!
