Maintenance

Brighton Air Condition, Heating Electrical Repairs offers superb maintenance plans for heating and cooling.

Signing up for a regular maintenance program is the best way to care for your heater. The maintenance plans that we offer at Brighton Air Condition, Heating Electrical Repairs include taking care of your air conditioner in the spring as well, and provide additional benefits such as a 15% discount on repairs and priority customer status.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
One of the most important things you can do for your home, especially as the summer draws near, is schedule air conditioning system maintenance. Each year millions of homeowners neglect a simple checkup and their air conditioners are pushed to the limits. The system might last one more summer, but what about one year from now? Will it hold up on the hottest of days or after a particularly wet and wild spring? The last thing you want is the protective cooling power of your air conditioning unit giving out right as the weather gets warmest.

Brighton Air Condition, Heating Electrical Repairs highly recommends annual checkups on your air conditioning system. You wouldn’t drive your car for 10,000 miles without an oil change – so why would you run your air conditioner for two years without a checkup? For all of our years in business, we have provided a full range of AC services including basic checkups and service repairs on damaged units.

Did you know that your air conditioner will work more efficiently with annual maintenance? The filters, coils, and fins all need to be cleaned and inspected annually to ensure that your unit is able to cool effectively. Skipping maintenance will not save you money in the long run – not only will your AC need more repairs, but you also will spend more on energy.

ANY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, ANY TIME
There are hundreds of different air conditioning systems out there that might require maintenance. Our repair and service specialists have spent years mastering the intricacies of all types of systems from small ductless mini–split air conditioners to full blown central air conditioning systems.

Even if you use an old or off brand air conditioner that we don’t carry, our expertise extends to all types, sizes and brands of cooling units. We can also take over your air conditioning system maintenance from the contractor who installed your system. Regardless of your needs, we can ensure you get the regular maintenance and cleaning needed to keep your machine up and running when it’s needed most.

WHY AC MAINTENANCE HELPS
So, what’s so important about air conditioning system maintenance? Again, like your car, it might be tempting to try and avoid spending money on something that seems to be functioning well. But, also like your car, if you neglect regular maintenance, your air conditioning system can quickly develop problems that can lead to much more expensive repairs and eventually require full blown replacement.
Our maintenance services are not only inexpensive, but they’re only needed once or twice a year and will ensure your air conditioner keeps operating when you need it most. More importantly, you’re far less likely to pour money into your energy bill each month, a common problem that develops if your cooling system gets clogged, breaks down or misses a maintenance visit.
Not only that, but a well maintained air conditioner will last longer. Most systems are graded for a potential lifespan–somewhere between 10 and 15 years. Without maintenance, that number can be cut down significantly. Having to replace your air conditioner every 5 years is not only unnecessary, it’s very expensive.

SCHEDULING AIR CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE
If it’s been years since your last maintenance visit, it’s not too late. It might seem like your system’s problems are quickly growing beyond help, but the Pittsburgh area air conditioning technicians at Brighton can provide quick and thorough maintenance on all types of systems. We will check for blockages, change filters and ensure your system remains as efficient as possible moving forward. Coil cleaning, replacement of old parts and adjustments to ensure your thermostat remains accurate and comfortable are all part of the maintenance experience we provide.
So, don’t delay another day. Contact us to get the air conditioning system maintenance your system needs to be done now, not later.

HEATING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Each winter we can expect the heating systems in our homes to remain on for a long haul of cold days. Eventually, the heaters will go into hibernation when the spring thaw arrives, but they will have accumulated an enormous amount of strain on their components. It doesn’t matter if you have a furnace, boiler, heat pump, or some other type of heating system: it will start to wear down with all the work, leading to energy inefficiency and a broken heater.
The way to prevent your residential heater from early decay is to see that it receives annual maintenance from professionals. The same way that you need to care for your car with routine inspections and tune–ups, you must care for your heating system to ensure that it lasts for as long as possible and doesn’t threaten to break down on you when you need it the most. Contact Brighton Air Condition, Heating Electrical Repairs today and ask about our maintenance program for HVAC systems.

WHY PROFESSIONAL HEATING MAINTENANCE IS NECESSARY
Each year that a heating system goes without a professional inspection and tune–up will result in a number of negative effects.

• Drop in energy efficiency: On average, a heater will become 5% more wasteful of energy for every year it skips maintenance. This will rapidly lead to you paying far more to run the system than you should.
• Rise in chance of repairs: Around 85% of the repairs that a heater might need during its lifetime are avoidable due to maintenance.
• Large risk of a break down: Perhaps the most important reason to schedule annual maintenance is that it’s your best defense against the heater abruptly breaking down during winter and leaving you scrambling to find repairs on a freezing day.
• Shortened system lifespan: A heater with no maintenance will not last long, and you’ll find yourself paying for a replacement many years too early.
• Safety hazards: This is principally an issue for gas–powered furnaces and boilers. Maintenance takes special precautions to see that your gas furnace/boiler has few safety issues, giving you valuable peace of mind.

WHEN TO SCHEDULE HEATING MAINTENANCE
Although it’s never too late to start with heating maintenance if you’ve never had it done, you should make it a part of your annual routine, done each year without fail. The best time during the year to arrange for it is the fall since it’s wise to always have equipment inspected right before you plan to make the most use of it. Fall is also a less busy time for HVAC technicians, and they will have no trouble fitting you into their schedules when it’s most convenient for you.

WARNING SIGNS
Most heating system problems can be avoided with regular maintenance. Over time, the system will be subject to a lot of heavy use. As that heavy use adds up, parts will wear out, ducts will get clogged, and the system will wear down.

At that time, there may be a number of warning signs that tell you it’s time to have your heating system looked at. To start with, listen for noises you have not heard before. Clanging, pinging, or grinding noises coming from your vents or your basement are sure signs of a problem that may require repair. Even if nothing is wrong, it’s best to have a trained professional take a look when your heating system starts to make unfamiliar sounds.

Another problem you’ll notice is a sharp spike in heating costs. If your system grows inefficient or is pouring heat into the cold air outside, you may have a problem that needs to be addressed. If you notice that heat is not reaching certain rooms, you also may need to have repairs done.
Leaking ductwork is a common heating system problem and can be an easy fix if caught early enough. So, whenever you notice a loss of heat, a drop off in efficiency or unfamiliar noises rising from the depths of your home, give the Pittsburgh area heater experts at Brighton a call. It may just be time to have someone take a peek at your heating system and you’ll find our service second to none.
