The HVAC professional is always at our house every four months.
We scheduled heating maintenance with the heating company to run quarterly because separate heating equipment must be serviced on different schedules.
Despite all the times the heating technician teams were around our property, the heating device still found something to make us worry and spend money. Giving the HVAC installation proper care would translate to perfection and never need heating repair or more care than simple maintenance. During one of those visits, the heating specialist was meant to be servicing the furnace, but the electric heater and fireplace also got checked over. During this visit, the heating dealership representative noticed that our chimney top was showing signs of rust. I’m so glad it was made out of iron because we’d never known the trouble brewing in our home. An inspection into what was causing the rusting indicated a water leak into the chimney, leaving the tops wet but not getting into the house entirely. The situation would have worsened as the seasons changed, but it was picked early. Lucky for us, the damage was not extensive because, in other cases, mold usually grows due to dampness. The specialist brought the materials needed to fix the rust and cleaned the entire chimney while drying out any traces of moisture. We added the chimney inspection to the list of things to be handled every four months or any time an expert came to fix minor issues, even when they were simply thermostat related.
