Many companies that provide heating and air conditioning services will call them “safeguard” services, but what does this term really mean? Obviously, if you’re hiring them, they’re going to make sure your appliances and facilities are safe to use. But many companies will go the extra mile to prevent any issues and respond 24/7, among other benefits.
In this blog, we’ll break down exactly what safeguard heating services are and what they entail. Many of the listed services seem obvious, while others are added benefits that competitors don’t offer. In many cases, it goes much further than heating system maintenance and upkeep. Good companies separate themselves from their competitors, offering full-service and holistic services to perform as strongly as possible.
Safeguard heating generally pertains to the maintenance side of servicing your heating system, but companies do much more than maintenance. A solid heating system provider should come to observe your space, answer any questions or concerns you may have, and provide a step-by-step update on how the installation will go.
Considering heat pumps are generally more expensive to purchase and install than air conditioning units, you want your provider to get it right and come fix it promptly if something goes wrong.
Let’s break down what goes into safeguard heating services. During your heating inspection, you should expect the following:
- Vent system inspection and blockage removal.
- Inspection of the heat exchanger for signs of corrosion.
- Cleaner and blower examination and debris removal.
- Inspection of the blower motor and amp draw testing.
- A thorough inspection of the electrical connections and tightening or replacement of any loose connections
- Burner and flame sensor inspection.
- Thermostat inspection and calibration.
- Full lubrication of all moving parts in the heating system.
- Air filter inspection, cleaning, and replacement.
- Safety control calibration.
A successful heating professional won’t skip any of these steps when accessing your system, and they should check each box to make sure any potential problems aren’t looming. Many of these services are time-consuming and expensive to fix. That’s why preventative maintenance is the best form of maintenance.
Your provider, assuming they provided the installation, should make any maintenance tweaks at no charge to you. Many heating service companies also provide safe gas services, plumbing services, earthquake valve installation, and more.
You can’t afford to have a faulty heating system when winter comes around. Plus, your water heater is something you use every day, year-round. With such an important appliance that’s relied on by you and your household, a heating service provider should respond in a timely manner and put your worries at ease about your system.
Conclusion - What Defines Safeguard Heating Services?
It’s more than providing the basic consultation, installation, and maintenance services everybody should come to expect from their provider. The best providers will conduct routine maintenance checks and fix any issues at no additional charge.
It’s all about guarding you against potential disasters or issues in the future. Maintenance is no good if the same service needs to be maintained every month. Make sure you choose a provider with a proven track record for success, strong communication and customer service skills, and a full-service model that ensures regular and cost-free maintenance services.
