Explore the Advantages of Working With Heater Repair Experts

A functional heating system is an absolute necessity for much of the year in the Bay Shore, Deer Park, Massapequa, West Babylon, and surrounding areas. Similarly to other parts of the northeast, the Long Island region experiences winters that can become very uncomfortable, and even dangerous without the proper heater repair or boiler service. At DeFalco Plumbing & Heating, our contractors are quick to arrive at your residential or commercial property to inspect the issue that is occurring, then quickly figure out the best course of action to get the system back up and running.

When your furnace goes out in the middle of a cold night it feels like there could be no greater inconvenience. Many DIY enthusiasts might be tempted to tackle such an issue themselves, especially considering the desire to get the heat up and running again as soon as possible. However, no matter how well you think you understand the inner workings of these systems, heater repairs are a job best left to the experts. Below are multiple reasons to hire a professional like the ones at Defalco Plumbing and Heating to complete your heater repair rather than doing it yourself.

Warranty

A warranty is an assurance that a manufacturer will repair anything that goes wrong with their product within a specific period of time for free. Most heating and cooling systems purchased from trusted brands will come with a warranty. However, those warranties can be voided if certain conditions are not followed, such as having your system serviced by an unlicensed technician (which more than likely includes yourself). If you attempt a heater repair while the unit is still under warranty, but are unable to fix the issue, you will have to pay for the subsequent service work out of your own pocket.

Safety

Professional heater repair technicians are often seen wearing serious protective gear while on the job. This is because most HVAC units operate on a dangerously high electrical current. If something goes wrong, the resulting shock could cause damage to your home or even prove fatal. Heater repairs should only be performed with proper training and equipment. By undertaking a heater repair on your own, you are incurring significant risk.

Air Quality

Furnaces pump warm air throughout a house in order to heat it. If you run your furnace constantly over a several-month-long cold season, your family will notice the effects of air that isn't clean. Homes are being built more airtight these days and HVAC systems are recirculating the same trapped air. This air passes through filters that become loaded with dirt and allergens over time. Additionally, a botched heater repair could release harmful pollutants into the circulating air. When you hire a professional heater repair company, however, you will avoid any such problems and can also arrange for your service to include a thorough cleaning of your unit or the installation of an air purifier.
