HEATING INSPECTION – This is performed in the fall:
Maintenance is Always less expensive than repairs. CPS, PEC and all large utility companies, like most companies, advise that you get a tune-up for your heating and cooling system each season, or it may cost you more than the tune-up cost in energy wasted alone. All manufacturers factory warranties AND extended warranties are contingent based on regular maintenance and will not cover repairs due to faulty or improper maintenance.
“You’re already paying for these benefits with higher electric bills and costly repairs while risking your warranty, so why not get what you’re already paying for and improve your indoor air quality and comfort?”
