HVAC Repair & Maintenance

Serving Areas of Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport, TN

Just like our cars, and even our health, did you know that your HVAC system needs routine preventive maintenance? Regular maintenance every fall and spring goes a long way toward prolonging the effective lifespan of your heat pump and A/C system while also safeguarding against potential problems.

Preventative Maintenance Is Crucial For Any HVAC System

Having an HVAC serviced on a regular basis makes sure it keeps running throughout the year efficiency and lowers the risk of a breakdown. No one wants to be left in the heat during the summer or cold during the winter. Industry professionals agree that the recommended schedule of maintenance should occur each fall and spring to gear up for more intense weather conditions when your unit will work harder.

Learn The Benefits of Regular HVAC Maintenance

Just as you change the oil in your car and take it in for tune-ups when needed, your HVAC system in Johnson City needs the same sort of regular maintenance.

You reap several benefits from this maintenance. One of the most obvious is lower energy cost because regular maintenance keeps your unit running at its peak efficiency. HVAC units, air conditioners, and furnaces work at their best when they are serviced and cleaned on a regular basis. On the other hand, a single malfunctioning part in any of these machines can lead to a series of problems that result in a total breakdown.

If you or someone you know ever has had their heat bump break down, it always seems to happen on especially cold days in the winter. These also are the times that your heat pump has to work the hardest. Scheduling regular inspections prevent these unexpected breakdowns. These breakdowns are usually inconvenient and expensive to fix, and also can shorten the overall lifespan of the unit. Remember that hearing a strange sound or detecting an odd odor coming from your heat pump both can be warning signs of a problem. If an expert and well-trained HVAC technician in Kingsport replaces the problem in time, you could avoid a total breakdown and the expense and inconvenience that comes with it.

Regular Maintenance Ensures Safety For Your Family

Did you know that a malfunctioning heat pump even could jeopardize your life? A crack in the heat exchange of a furnace could lead to a leak of carbon monoxide gas, which can poison and kill people. Carbon monoxide is so lethal because you cannot see or smell it.

The dangers of carbon monoxide are magnified when considering that the gas is odorless. Thompson Electrical Service recommends that you have carbon monoxide detectors installed in your home. We offer and install security systems that include smoke alarms and monoxide detectors to keep your family safe.

Also, a faulty unit could pose as a fire hazard. If an HVAC unit develops a short circuit, it can develop into a potential fire hazard. Regular maintenance helps to keep your family safe against these risks.
