Eastern Shore Heating Maintenance Service

When it’s winter and your heater goes out, it’s hard to schedule service for the same day. Emergency service is expensive, and some companies take advantage of emergencies to charge extra for basic repair services.

You pay a lot for year-round comfort with an HVAC system, so you expect it to work. The best way to ensure year-round heating and cooling is with routine maintenance. Regular service also keeps your heating and cooling systems in good condition, so they’re less likely to break down in bad weather.

Eastern Shore Heating and Air Conditioning has more than 40 years of experience providing HVAC services across central New Jersey. We repair and maintain all makes and models of heating systems. Even if we did not install your furnace, we can repair it in the depths of winter if you need us to.

Benefits of Maintenance and Repair Services

A typical furnace has a lifespan of around 15-20 years in the New Jersey climate. If the furnace breaks down, repairs can average $1000-$3000. Smart homeowners and landlords can extend the life of a furnace with regular maintenance and replacement of parts like air filters. 

Annual tune-ups improve performance and increase efficiency, reducing your energy costs. You can save money with regular service from our technicians by keeping your current system in good working order. 

Winters in the northeast are famously harsh, and the last thing you want is for your furnace to break down in the middle of a blizzard or ice storm. Although Eastern Shore Heating and Cooling has 24/7 emergency services, it’s safer for you and better for your system to keep it operational with regular maintenance services.

HVAC Maintenance Contract

The Eastern Shore HVAC Maintenance contract is an agreement for our technicians to visit your home and service your HVAC system on a regular basis. The long-term contract gives you a regular schedule so you know in advance when we are stopping by to inspect and upgrade your equipment. The comprehensive check of your system includes:

•  An inspection of the vents for debris and damage
• Inspection and replacement of air filters
• Inspection of fans, belts, and bearings, and replacement of worn or damaged parts
• Lubricating moving parts in all motors and blowers
• Checking heat exchangers and burners for efficient operations

The contract covers both the furnace and air conditioner and the entire air quality system. Our expertise covers residential and commercial systems, including multi-tenant buildings. Whatever your heating system needs, our repair technicians will ensure it has it.

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

The average cost of repairing an HVAC system can run about $300. A smaller fix, like replacing a damaged burner, could be less than $100. A major repair could cost several thousand dollars. Many major repairs could be avoided if the furnace or air conditioner were regularly serviced and maintained by a reliable service company like ours. 

Energy efficiency is a critical concern for every homeowner. One way to improve your home’s energy signature is by keeping your heating and cooling system in good repair. If the ducts are clean and free of debris and the air filters are clean, your system doesn’t have to work too hard to heat the house. This translates into savings for you.

Our team can repair and maintain all makes and models of heating and cooling systems in service today. Since we are familiar with all brands of parts and equipment, we can get you the best prices while still keeping your costs low and your functionality high.

HVAC System Maintenance Tips

Even with a maintenance contract, you can keep your HVAC system in good condition by doing these few basic chores every three to six months:

• Replace or clean the air filters regularly. If you have pets, allergies or live in a high-pollen area, clean or replace them every one to three months.
• Clean your floor vents and air return ducts. You can use a vacuum cleaner hose attachment for basic cleaning.
• Check your thermostat and ensure it is showing the correct temperature and settings. Replace the batteries regularly.
• The furnace must be kept clear of debris that could be swept into the intake. Depending on your system, it could shut down, clog, or catch fire if the intake fills with debris.

Pay attention to any unusual noises when the system starts or stops. Try to determine the location of the sounds. Don’t disregard any noises coming from inside walls; you could have an animal infestation in the ductwork.

Let your regular technician know everything you’ve done in terms of routine maintenance when they arrive for their semiannual checkup. Any details could be essential for carrying out the annual repairs on your system to prepare it for winter.
