Why schedule your HVAC seasonal tune-up… sooner rather than later?
Top Benefits of a Seasonal HVAC Tune-Up
The time is now. Before the heating season kicks in (and the ice and snow make themselves at home), realize the benefits of a tune-up:
Enhance Safety
The priority is always your safety and that of your household members and property. Though trending down in the past few decades, heating fires are still the second leading cause of residential fires in the US. Faulty equipment, dirty or incorrect connections, buildup, and other contributors can act as triggers for disaster. During a routine tune-up, a qualified technician will check coils, electrical components, filtration, and the overall condition of your heating system.
The heat going out on the coldest day in January is a hardship; a fire anytime is catastrophic. This alone is reason enough to schedule a seasonal tune-up.
But here’s another: Air quality. Routine servicing helps you breathe easier by preventing particles, pollutants, and allergens from circulating through your home. This is a concern all year, of course, but particularly in winter months when your windows are firmly closed (and cold/flu germs are trapped in).
Prepare for the Season
When would you rather discover a problem with your heating or cooling system? When the snow flies or the first 90° day dawns? No… It’s the in-between times that matter here. This is the perfect opportunity to get your systems in shape and ensure they are ready, willing, and able to provide the comfort you need in the season ahead.
Avoid Middle-of-the-Night Emergencies
Your pilot light is out. Your furnace isn’t blowing warm air or, worse, is issuing cold air. The heating system is making what can only be described as “weird” noises. It never fails that these problems like to rear their heads on cold, snowy, stormy nights and weekends – meaning you’ll have to wait or pay for emergency help. While you cannot eliminate every “bump in the night” when it comes to your HVAC system, you can mitigate many, if not most, of these problems with a simple annual tune-up.
Extend the Life of Your Systems
If you take care of them, they’ll take care of you. Regular maintenance extends the serviceable life of your heating and cooling equipment by ensuring components and parts are functioning as intended. Generally, the life expectancy of HVAC systems is between 12 and 17 years. If you can get a few more out of them easily and inexpensively, it’s worth it. At the same time, you’ll significantly reduce the likelihood of incurring costly repairs.
Save Money
A tune-up costs $60. If it saves you hundreds on a repair, you’ve paid yourself back many times over already. But remember, clean systems are also operating as efficiently as possible. They don’t have to work as hard, and neither does your wallet. A step as simple as replacing air filters can reduce consumption by 5%-15%. That certainly makes a frigid winter (or scorching summer) much more comfortable.
Legacy offers the opportunity to save even more with our one-, two-, and three-year maintenance plans. Choose the option that’s right for you and receive two HVAC tune-ups and one plumbing inspection a year. In addition to a rigorous check-up, you’ll have access to priority 24 hour emergency service (no overtime fees), 15% discount on repair service, inflation protection, compliance with manufacturer warranties, and, of course, improved efficiency, enhanced safety, and extended equipment life.

The Time Is Now
Waiting to schedule a tune-up until the start of the season (whether heating or cooling) is a risky move. This is when service technicians are fully booked and prioritizing repairs and emergencies. Unfortunately, your non-critical call may be put on hold. Don’t wait: make the call now, and enjoy a safe, efficient, comfortable season ahead. It’s the best $60 you’ll spend!
