Getting Expert Maintenance for Your Oil-Fired Furnace This Season
As cooler weather rolls in, your furnace becomes the heart of your home’s comfort system, ensuring warmth throughout the cold months. While it’s easy to overlook until something goes wrong, annual maintenance is essential for your system’s performance, safety, and efficiency.
Most HVAC companies these days focus their service offerings on heat pumps, gas furnaces and the like. Tommy Garner Air Conditioning and Heating is well equipped to service and maintain those systems to keep your home warm and your energy bills low.
But we’re also one of the few companies in Southeastern Virginia to also offer comprehensive annual maintenance on time-tested oil-fired furnaces and boilers in homes or businesses.
Benefits of Regular Furnace Maintenance
Improved Efficiency – Over time, oil-fired furnaces accumulate soot and debris that can reduce efficiency. A well-maintained furnace uses less fuel to heat your home, saving you money on oil throughout the season. Our professional tune-ups include cleaning the heating equipment, ensuring your system runs at peak performance.
Extended Lifespan – Investing in regular maintenance can add years to the life of your furnace. By catching minor issues early, you can avoid major breakdowns that lead to costly repairs or replacements. Our technicians will conduct a thorough inspection, and they have the experience to know how to spot potential problems before they become serious.
Enhanced Safety – Oil-fired furnaces are reliable, but improper maintenance can lead to safety risks, such as oil leaks or even fires. During a service visit, our team will check all safety controls, oil filters, and connections to ensure your furnace operates safely and efficiently, providing peace of mind for you and your family.
Consistent Comfort – Nothing’s worse than discovering your furnace isn’t working on the coldest day of the year. A seasonal maintenance check can prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensure your system heats your home evenly and reliably. The Tommy Garner Air Conditioning and Heating team is committed to making sure you stay warm, even when temperatures plummet.
