We hope the only frights you encounter are the safe, fun kind found in movies, costumes, and decorations. There\u2019s one October fright we don\u2019t want you to deal with, and that\u2019s having a heating system that isn\u2019t ready for the approach of cold weather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can help you make your <a href=\"\/service-areas\/gretna-la-air-conditioning-heating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">heating in Gretna, LA<\/a> much less spooky and scary. All it takes is for you to join our Residential Club Agreement (if you aren\u2019t already a member) and schedule your regular fall heating maintenance appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does this need to be done every October?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, not <em>October<\/em> specifically. It needs to be done every fall. We just picked October because it\u2019s a convenient time to schedule maintenance because our technicians aren\u2019t as busy dealing with either heating or cooling emergencies. Having the job done before the holiday crunch starts is also ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we want to emphasize that, yes, heating maintenance must be done each year. It\u2019s easy to skip over it among all the other jobs you have to get done, but maintenance is straightforward\u2014it only takes a phone call to our office to set it up. Our technicians will do all the hard work, and it doesn\u2019t even take that long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the benefits of having heating maintenance each fall?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <em>so<\/em> many. We could just say \u201cpeace of mind\u201d and that alone would make maintenance worth it. But a lot of benefits go into that peace of mind, so let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the top ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A heater that runs safer: <\/strong>Do you use a gas furnace? If so, regular maintenance is vital to keeping it running at its safest winter after winter. During maintenance, our technicians carefully inspect your heating system to locate potential hazards so we can have them corrected before you start using the system.<\/li><li><strong>Heat that costs less: <\/strong>Allowing a heating system to miss maintenance will cause it to age quicker and wear down faster. This results in a heater that drains more energy to do its job, forcing you to pay more for heat. Maintenance slows this down, so your heater will only lose about 5% of its efficiency over most of its service life.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>A valid warranty:<\/strong> Without an equipment warranty, you may end up paying in full for repairs or a replacement due to a factory fault. Skipping maintenance can invalidate your warranty, so keeping up with maintenance means you\u2019ll have this important consumer protection in place.<\/li><li><strong>A long life for the heater: <\/strong>How long do you want to have your heater working for you? \u201cAs long as possible\u201d is a fair answer. Maintenance is designed to help your heater reach that goal. Lack of maintenance can cut a heater\u2019s potential lifespan in half!<\/li><li><strong>Far fewer repair calls: <\/strong>Regular maintenance prevents the majority of repairs a heater may need. Think of what that means for your convenience and your pocketbook!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you join our Residential Club Agreement, you\u2019ll receive all these benefits plus special membership perks. Call us today for more details and to enroll. Get ahead of the weather and enjoy a happy Halloween!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Gowland\u2019s Heating &amp; A\/C believes in \u201cRelationship over revenue!\u201d <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>Sign up for our Residential Club Agreement today and let us take care of your heating maintenance.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, heating maintenance must be done each year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[104,49],"class_list":["post-668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-gretna","tag-heating-system-maintenance"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":671,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668\/revisions\/671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gowlandsac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
