Inspect to find problems before they hit.

It’s law that your system will break down at the most inconvienant time possible in order to create the most distress and anxiety – Murphy’s Law that is. Whether we like it or not, it is normally right. Regularly inspecting can make your aware of the next bad thing before it occurs. Inspections are geared toward finding worn parts so that you may replace them before they fail. They do not include active maintenance.

What is Active Maintenance?

Active maintenance is preventatively acting to care for your system.This includes actions such as lubricating, cleaning, and tuning – not looking. Every year you actively perform essential maintenance for your car by changing the oil. Your air conditioning and heating system, much like your car, needs these essential services. Inspections are geared toward finding worn parts so that you may replace them before they fail. They do not include active maintenance. It is the active maintenace that lenghtens system life, lowers electric bills, prevents avoidable repairs, and reclaims household comfort. Looking for active maintenance?
