A Comprehensive HVAC Heater Tune-Up Just in Time for Winter!

In Louisiana, we find ourselves paying much more attention to the heat than the cold, but when winter is around the corner, it’s important to make sure your heater is ready to kick into high gear!

Over the warmer months, the high levels of humidity in Louisiana lead to condensation in your air conditioning and heating unit. As the condensation builds, the risk of water damage to your HVAC unit and other areas of your home increases. In fact, this moisture also creates other harmful elements like molds and grime that can impact the safety and performance of your HVAC.

With this in mind, there is no better time than the changing of the seasons to take advantage of a winter tune-up. To prepare your heating system for the colder months, the technicians at Berner Air Conditioning and Heating perform a multi-point inspection and tune-up on your unit.

Benefits of a Winter HVAC Tune-Up

Increase Safety

Without a tune-up to your HVAC unit, you may be pumping harmful air throughout your home. Plus, ensuring the cleanliness of your unit makes for smoother air delivery. To guarantee the safety of your home in the face of colder weather, your winter tune-up will even include an assessment of carbon monoxide levels and a water heater replacement, if necessary.

Save Money with More Efficiency

By clearing the pathway of air delivery through your HVAC system, your unit has to work less to produce the same results, saving you a fortune on your utilities. In addition, a tune-up is a proactive way to catch problems before they happen!
