September. Octobrr. Novembrrr. DecemBRRR! The “brr” months are here, and we all know what that means: that thermometer will just keep dropping down, and down, and down. Are you ready?
Operating over 3,000 hours per year, our heating and air conditioning equipment powers through hot and smoky summers, cold winters, and everything in between. With that kind of mileage, it’s clear how vital maintenance is to keep your system performing safely and properly for the season ahead. Just like oil changes, tire rotations, and tune-ups to prevent breakdowns in your vehicle, regular HVAC maintenance is essential for your home, reducing unexpected breakdowns by a whopping 95% (iaqa.org). This can help extend the life of your investment and often keep it under warranty, should it apply.
In addition to preventing unexpected breakdowns, safety is an important reason to maintain your system regularly. Coming home in the dead of winter to a frozen house can not only be unsettling but can lead to a domino effect of burst pipes, water damage, and leaks. And leaks from a cracked or failed heat exchanger is the real hazard, as it can cause carbon monoxide to escape into your home, resulting in serious health issues, in even the lowest of levels.
A performance maintenance with Barron is designed to be a top-to-bottom checkup for the health of your home. During a maintenance service, our trained technicians focus on returning your system(s) to the operating specifications originally engineered, catching any problem areas before they become bigger issues. Our furnace maintenance checklist includes comprehensively cleaning and adjusting interior components, checking for performance decline, and changing out your air filters, all of which help to improve your indoor air quality and performance of the unit.
Equipment does have a lifespan, however, and it’s important to consider your “cost to keep” versus maintaining an old unit. From expected deterioration due to age to dated technology, transitioning from regular maintenance to a system upgrade may actually be more cost-effective, especially when repairs become more frequent or your cost to run the unit is high.
Is it time to upgrade? Now’s a great time! As the weather cools, we’re heating up our equipment specials for Barron Silver Shield Members. With our ‘Barron Brr Bucks‘ offer, you can earn $110 for every year of your old furnace, heat pump, or water heater’s age, up to $1,100 for a full system replacement — and up to $550 for your furnace or water heater! The older your equipment, the more Brr Bucks you can earn — use them now or save them for future Barron projects!
This offer applies to all Silver Shield Members — whether you sign up today or have been a member since the beginning. As always, our memberships are trade-specific, allowing you to choose between HVAC, Electrical, or Plumbing for your plan.
