It's finally here......summer. We're pulling out the grills and barbeques, cleaning off the patio furniture, sprucing up the yard and getting ready for some fun.
You know what else it's time for? It's time to start working on your heating system. Yes, that's right, your heating system. Now I know you're wondering what I'm talking about but believe me, now it the time to start. Think about it for a minute. That system ran its heart out keeping you warm all winter long. The inside got dirty (you oil people out there know what I mean!) and all you did was shut off the unit when it started to warm up outside. You don't put clothes away when they are dirty. You don't put tools away when they are dirty. The same thing goes for your heating system. It needs to be worked on every year to keep it performing properly and cost effectively.
Prices for heating parts are lower, now, in the summer months (and air conditioning parts are cheaper in winter). Every year around this time, I tear apart my own oil-fired system and clean it up, change the filters, flush the lines and perform all the other preventive maintenance necessary. Since I have a gas water heater, I only have to run the heat for about 4 months. That also means cleaning out the chimney every other year. For those of you who have to run the burner year round, clean that chimney once a year. But by taking the proper care of my oil burner I spent less than $600 last winter to heat my home. And my 100 year old home is drafty! The south shore of Long Island can get really cold and windy. Sometimes we can even see the curtains move in the breeze.
Besides, when the wife flips that switch to the on position that first really chilly day come September, you want your heating system to work so she's warm and comfortable, not annoyed at you because you didn't have the unit checked.
After years working for other heating & air conditioning companies, I decided it was time to go out on my own. Starting Home Repairs by Richard was a dream come true. I just passed the one year mark on 6/1/09 and I’m extremely happy to be able to do right for my customers. I’m guessing you are fed up with heating & air conditioning service companies that promise the moon & don’t deliver. How many times have you called in the middle of the night for emergency service because your heating system went out only to be told no one was available until morning? If you call me at 3AM because your heat is out, I won’t tell you I’ll be there 6 hours later, I’ll be there probably within 45 minutes.
I’m an honest man trying to make an honest living & I treat my customers as I would want my own family treated. I offer prompt & reliable heating and air conditioning service, maintenance & installation in Nassau County at an affordable price. I answer all phone calls, no answering service to deal with. There are no service techs that just do the job for a paycheck. I take great pride in my work & when you deal with my company, you deal directly with me. My overhead is low so I can pass the savings on to you.
