End the Winter Season with a Spring AC Tune Up

This entry was posted in Maintenance on by .

With snow and hail this week, it certainly feels like we’re in the clutches of winter. But, as every desert dweller knows, warm temperatures are just around the corner. And, you know what that means. Yes, soon it will be time to turn on that air conditioner once again. This makes it the perfect time to schedule a spring AC tune up.

Of course, regular maintenance is a smart idea to extend the lifespan of your HVAC system. Not only will a tune up help ensure you don’t have an unexpected breakdown, it will also maintain the overall efficiency of your system. This means a lower electricity bill each month.

Don’t Delay on Air Conditioner Maintenance

The benefits of proactive air conditioning maintenance are measurable and include:

No More Overspending on Electricity

With your air conditioner running efficiently after a tune up, you won’t be getting those unexpectedly high utility bills that come with a failing system.

Improved Air Quality

Dirt and dust collect in and on your HVAC system throughout the year. This can result in problems with sensitive components of your system, as well as circulate particulates into your indoor air. With a tune up, your air conditioner will be cleaned. You’ll breathe easier knowing that your indoor air is clean, and your air conditioner won’t break down.

No Emergency Service Required

Unexpected air conditioner problems usually occur when there hasn’t been regular maintenance. Often, these issues happen during the hottest days of the summer. You can prevent these very unfortunate occurrences by calling Bruce’s today to schedule a spring AC tune up at 480-968-5652.

Consider a Maintenance Plan

With an HVAV maintenance plan from Bruce’s, you can get on track with regular tune ups of your system. Now is the perfect time to sign up before the coming season. You’ll gain the advantages of priority service, discounts, and more.

Don’t Forget Your HVAC System in 2021

With the year coming to an end, you may be pondering New Year’s resolutions. While some may plan to hit the gym more or better budget their money in 2021, you can resolve to make your HVAC system a priority. Here’s how to do just that.

  1. Check your system’s vents and registers to ensure furniture or household items are not obstructing them.
  2. Schedule monthly air filter replacements. This will optimize your system, improve your indoor air quality and save you money on monthly utility bills.
  3. Schedule twice per year maintenance tune ups for your HVAC system – ideally in the spring and fall. Regular maintenance checks increase the overall efficiency of your HVAC system and substantially decrease the chance of having mechanical problems and breakdowns.
  4. Upgrade to a programmable thermostat which can enable you to control what times of day your HVAC system runs. This will decrease energy costs and lessen the burden on your system.

Haven’t thought about your HVAC system recently? It’s important to remember what an important role it plays in keeping you and your family happy and healthy all year long. By following these simple resolutions, your system will run smoothly and efficiently throughout the year.

This entry was posted in Maintenance on by .

Let’s face it. It’s a strange holiday season this year. With many of us avoiding the malls and not having large family gatherings or parties, it feels a little different. But, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still give a thoughtful gift to a loved one. Perhaps more than ever, meaningful, practical gifts will be appreciated. And what is more thoughtful and practical than giving the gift of an HVAC maintenance plan?

Not sold yet? Well, we’ll give you three solid reasons why purchasing a maintenance plan for a homeowning loved one is a gift that they’ll love.

It’s Practical

We’ve all received those thoughtful, but utterly unneeded gifts. You may still have a couple still in boxes from last year. With an HVAC maintenance plan, your loved one can get on track with proper maintenance of one of their home’s most important systems. This means helping them prevent emergency situations and risks that come with poorly maintained heaters and air conditioners.

It’s Unexpected

Your loved ones may just be tired of the same old gift card, jacket, or tech gadget that you give every year. An HVAC maintenance plan is not a typical gift, and it will give them real peace of mind far beyond the holiday season.

It’s Good for Everyone

Gratitude for Your HVAC System This Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving next week, it’s an ideal time to reflect on all we’re grateful for. This should include our home’s HVAC system. All year long, our heating and cooling system quietly works hard to ensure our home is comfortable – even when there are extreme temperatures outside. All that your HVAC system asks for in return is a little attention every now and then.

Keeping your HVAC system happy and functioning at optimal performance begins with scheduling regular tune ups. At Bruce’s, our team of licensed technicians is here to help you get on track and stay on track with maintaining your system. This will extend the life of your system while helping maximize efficiency. In other words, it will save you on your utility bill. Small issues can be addressed before they become major problems. Because maintenance is so important, we highly recommend a service agreement that provides flexible maintenance appointments, savings on maintenance visits and discounts on repairs.

Other Ways to Say Thanks to Your HVAC System This Thanksgiving

Along with regular tune ups, you also can help maintain your system.

  • Dust your vents – This improves your home’s air quality and puts less stress on your system.
  • Change your air filters – Dirty filters make your entire system work harder. Before Thanksgiving, spend a few moments to change your air filter which will help increase efficiency.
  • Clear the clutter around your outside unit – Winter storms are just around the corner. By removing debris, vegetation, and loose items that are in close proximity to your outside unit, you can go a long way towards preventing damage caused by wind and storms.
  • Consider an air filtration system – Air quality has been a focus for all families in 2020. With an air filtration system, you can better protect you and your family from airborne illnesses and allergens.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. And if you need service, call us at 480-968-5652.

This entry was posted in Maintenance on by .

With temperatures still hovering close to the triple digits, it still feels like summer. Yet, relief is in sight with the cool temperatures of fall and winter just around the corner. It’s the perfect time to treat your HVAC system to some preventive care before you have to experience the tricky situation of a system malfunction or breakdown.

HVAC maintenance for your furnace or heat pump should ideally be scheduled before winter arrives. This will ensure you’re prepared for when the cold temperatures hit – and they will! At Bruce’s our HVAC technicians can inspect your system to ensure all parts are functioning as they should be. We clean dirty heat exchangers, igniters and other components. We’ll let you know if there are old or worn out parts that require replacement, too. Moving parts are lubricated, and your system’s electrical components are checked, as well. We’ll finish up with testing and calibrating everything, so you won’t be in for any tricks when you need to flip on the heat.

Treat Your Ducts

Fall is also a great time to have your HVAC system’s ductwork inspected for leaks and cleaned to improve indoor air quality. Not only will you breathe easier, you’ll enjoy a hefty improvement to your utility bill if we find and repair any leaky ducts.

Treat Yourself to a New Programmable Thermostat

Get ready for a cozy and affordable fall and winter by replacing your old thermostat with a new, programmable model. You’ll be able to stabilize your home’s comfort levels and energy bills while reducing the wear and tear on your entire HVAC system.
