Hi, I’m Roger from Fire & Ice. As a residential sales professional, I have helped thousands of Central Ohio homeowners get the most out of their HVAC system. At Fire & Ice we believe in giving our customers as much information they need. In this video, we’re going to review why routine maintenance is important for your heating and cooling units.

 

Why Is Routine Maintenance for Your Heating and Cooling Unit(s) Important?

One of the most important reasons to have your HVAC system serviced twice a year, once for the heating season and once for the cooling season, is that it helps your HVAC system stay under warranty, but it also has several other benefits.

 

Saving Time, Money, and Effort 

It will save time, money, and effort. One of the worst things that can happen is your home comfort system breaking down when you least expect it. Annual preventative maintenance can prevent this by catching potential problems before they become detrimental to your system. When a technician catches the issue before your unit breaks down, it saves time, money, and effort.



Extending the Lifespan of Your Unit

As a rule of thumb, a cleaner HVAC system will last longer. You can think of this like changing the oil in your car. Every 5,000 miles or so, your car needs an oil change. If not, your car will break down. The same goes for your HVAC system. If you don't invest in proper maintenance, you risk it breaking down, which will shorten the lifespan. 

 

Improving Your IAQ & Overall Comfort

It improves your indoor air quality and overall comfort. A dirty air filter is one of the most common issues affecting indoor air quality and comfort within a home. Regardless of the type of air filter your HVAC system takes, you should check or replace your air filter every 30 - 60 days. Not only will clogged air filters severely reduce your home's indoor air quality, but they will also make your system work harder. This, in turn, shortens the life expectancy of your system. Moreover, when you routinely change your air filter, it also helps with your system's energy efficiency, which is a win for you and the environment!

Rec’d complete estimate for new HVAC system. Rep was very thorough in analysis of my home needs. Very informative in explaining the process.

Brian Metzbower

Challenging job with my small attic space, but they did a great job of getting the whole new HVAC installed. Staff were polite and knowledgeable, they clearly wanted to do the job right and took pride in their work.

Kyle is the best! After hours call for AC not working. The company who installed the unit couldn’t get anyone to our house for over 5 DAYS! Fire and Ice was recommended by a coworker. I called and gave my info for an emergency house call. 10 minutes later Kyle called. Less than An hour later my AC was repaired! Pricewas super reasonable (especially considering it’s after 9 pm) No fuss, no gimmicks and super nice. Kyle you’re our hero!

The guys did a great job installing our new heating and cooling system. They were on time and courteous. Our techs Bryan and Brett answered all questions asked. There was no mess left over after they finished so all was good.

Peter Magada

Great experience having all their people in our home to help us replace both 21 yr old heating & air conditioning units. They were recommended by our son since they did an efficient and quick job in their furnace breakdown. From Roger, who walked us through buying the units, to Floyd & Daniqua, the technicians that installed both Trane units, we found them very courteous, efficient and knowledgeable! We highly recommend Fire & Ice for your HVAC needs!!

Jeffrey Hatef

Excellent service. They came out quickly, diagnosed, the issue, repaired our AC, andthen installed our Nest thermostat. 100% would use again.

Heather Orr

You get what you pay for, and these guys are worth it & more. Completely knowledgeable professionals in every position, they made me feel more comfortable& confident in my decision to contract them for my home. I got a brand new AC, furnace, and thermostat installed and just 1 week in it's SO much better!

Bryan and Nick were both very professional and friendly! When there is someone in your home typically it isn't like you can relax and go about your day but we were totally able to do just that. It is like they were not even here as they worked hard for 9+ hours to get the job done. Please tell them THANK YOU for being so awesome at what they do! Huge kudos to both gentlemen and you are lucky to have them on your team.
