Why Is It Important To Conduct A Bi-Annual Maintenace Inspection On My Air Conditioning? · Shafer Heating and Cooling Service Repair Podcast

• 0:01
  My heating and cooling expert,
• 0:03
  Nathan Shafer is joining me here on the program today to talk about the importance of conducting regular maintenance.
• 0:14
  And I've always suggested and I've always heard twice a year bi annually.
• 0:18
  So let's hear it from the expert,
• 0:20
  Nathan,
• 0:20
  how are you doing,
• 0:20
  buddy?
• 0:21
  Hey,
• 0:22
  good,
• 0:22
  how are you?
• 0:23
  I'm doing fantastic.
• 0:24
  Ok.
• 0:25
  At least twice a year.
• 0:26
  Right.
• 0:26
  Spring and fall.
• 0:28
  Yeah.
• 0:28
  And it's not even so much has to be the certain time of the year,
• 0:31
  spring and fall as it is just twice a year.
• 0:34
  So kind of,
• 0:35
  I always like to picture to we all drive cars,
• 0:37
  right.
• 0:37
  We've all got vehicles and it's not a certain time of the year per se,
• 0:42
  um,
• 0:42
  that we're changing the oil and servicing our maintenance in the vehicle so much as it is the mileage,
• 0:47
  right?
• 0:47
  Or the run time of that vehicle,
• 0:49
  we'll picture your,
• 0:50
  your heating and your cooling system.
• 0:51
  It runs year round.
• 0:53
  And so it's really just based off,
• 0:55
  hey,
• 0:55
  let's get that done twice a year.
• 0:56
  Uh,
• 0:56
  I do recommend once in heating mode and once in cooling mode whenever that may be throughout the season.
• 1:01
  A lot of times it does fall in that spring and fall time.
• 1:04
  Uh,
• 1:04
  it works great with scheduling to people's schedules.
• 1:07
  You know,
• 1:07
  they're not traveling different things.
• 1:09
  Uh,
• 1:09
  but yeah,
• 1:09
  hitting that twice a year makes a,
• 1:11
  makes a huge difference on the overall performance of the system.
• 1:14
  Longevity of the system and uh comfort that that system delivers uh,
• 1:18
  to you,
• 1:19
  to,
• 1:19
  to you and your family.
• 1:20
  So,
• 1:21
  I agree,
• 1:22
  people go to the dentist twice a year.
• 1:24
  Right.
• 1:24
  And a six month checkup.
• 1:26
  And it doesn't matter what time of year I will say this though.
• 1:29
  It,
• 1:30
  I prefer having my air conditioning system really getting ready in the springtime for the summer.
• 1:39
  I really don't want to wait till September to have it checked right now.
• 1:42
  September,
• 1:44
  I wanna have my heating checked.
• 1:47
  So,
• 1:47
  for me personally,
• 1:49
  you know,
• 1:50
  the,
• 1:51
  when,
• 1:52
  you know,
• 1:52
  when the snow melts.
• 1:53
  Right.
• 1:53
  So,
• 1:53
  you know,
• 1:54
  April would be early.
• 1:56
  April would be a great time to have my air conditioning checked out.
• 2:00
  And certainly before we get that first cold snap,
• 2:03
  I would say by early October,
• 2:06
  I wanna get my heating checked out.
• 2:07
  Does that sound?
• 2:07
  Right?
• 2:09
  Sure.
• 2:09
  Yeah,
• 2:09
  absolutely.
• 2:10
  Get prepped and ready.
• 2:11
  Right.
• 2:11
  Don't wait until,
• 2:13
  you know,
• 2:14
  it does get extreme hot or extreme cold and,
• 2:16
  and systems start breaking down because they're being taxed and working hard,
• 2:20
  you know.
• 2:20
  Uh,
• 2:20
  and then now the everybody's schedules are full.
• 2:23
  Right.
• 2:23
  And trying to get to all those,
• 2:24
  no heat and no cools.
• 2:25
  When most of the time it's something that could have been prevented.
• 2:29
  You know,
• 2:29
  we,
• 2:29
  we have club memberships,
• 2:30
  our most valued customers that automatically just have us come out twice and they don't have to worry about remembering to call us or anything else.
• 2:36
  It's just automatically on the schedule and we show up,
• 2:39
  you know,
• 2:39
  a licensed technician ready to go with a big smile and takes care of that for them.
• 2:44
  And Jim,
• 2:44
  you know,
• 2:45
  that they're the customers that we see the least throughout the year as far as the breakdowns,
• 2:48
  we see them twice a year.
• 2:50
  Yes.
• 2:50
  But it's just to do their maintenance and take care of their systems and keep them up to date and they get so many benefits with being a part of that program.
• 2:57
  Uh,
• 2:57
  it's,
• 2:58
  it's,
• 2:58
  it's unbelievable.
• 3:00
  It's really like going to see your doctor on a regular basis for a physical.
• 3:05
  Um,
• 3:06
  I,
• 3:06
  I,
• 3:06
  if you do that,
• 3:08
  the doctor gets to know you and your body,
• 3:10
  the same thing with the team at Schafer,
• 3:13
  they get to know your systems well.
• 3:16
  And so you're treated a little different too because when you're part of the program and you're part of the family and you call up and there is an issue.
• 3:24
  They're like,
• 3:25
  well,
• 3:25
  we'll be right out.
• 3:26
  I mean,
• 3:26
  we were just there three months ago.
• 3:28
  It,
• 3:28
  it was working fine.
• 3:29
  We're gonna come out and get this thing going for you,
• 3:31
  ma'am.
• 3:31
  Right.
• 3:31
  And,
• 3:32
  and it's different than if you're not in the club.
• 3:35
  Literally,
• 3:35
  you're not in the club,
• 3:36
  you're in the program.
• 3:37
  They're like,
• 3:37
  ok,
• 3:38
  well,
• 3:38
  we'll get out there as soon as possible.
• 3:39
  But they,
• 3:40
  you know,
• 3:40
  you guys,
• 3:40
  your technicians don't know what they're going into.
• 3:43
  They,
• 3:43
  they don't know,
• 3:44
  they don't,
• 3:44
  they have no record.
• 3:46
  They haven't been keeping records and,
• 3:48
  um,
• 3:49
  because they haven't been out doing regular maintenance,
• 3:51
  so the regular maintenance is important.
• 3:54
  Getting onto the club membership is important.
• 3:58
  Um,
• 3:59
  it,
• 4:00
  it also generally will give you priorities.
• 4:02
  Um,
• 4:03
  you know,
• 4:04
  as a customer,
• 4:05
  as a client and,
• 4:06
  and I think it's important.
• 4:07
  I mean,
• 4:07
  I've,
• 4:07
  I've always said this,
• 4:09
  you don't want your heating and your air conditioning system on Sunday morning not to work.
• 4:15
  And in the winter it can be really,
• 4:18
  really uncomfortable.
• 4:19
  It also could be dangerous.
• 4:20
  You could have burst pipes because of it and in the summertime may not kill you,
• 4:25
  but you'd be cranky,
• 4:28
  that's for sure.
• 4:29
  That's for sure.
• 4:30
  You know,
• 4:30
  like you said,
• 4:31
  we,
• 4:31
  we,
• 4:32
  we maintenance and we do these routine things and everything else in our lives and all of our other,
• 4:37
  our vehicles or your boat or your camper,
• 4:40
  you know,
• 4:40
  all these different things.
• 4:42
  Our,
• 4:42
  ourselves,
• 4:42
  we go to the doctor,
• 4:43
  you know,
• 4:44
  the,
• 4:44
  your heating and cooling system is no different and so oftentimes it's forgotten about.
• 4:48
  It's kind of out of sight,
• 4:49
  out of mind.
• 4:50
  Right.
• 4:50
  We're accustomed to,
• 4:51
  we're just used to walking in the house and it's comfortable.
• 4:54
  But man,
• 4:54
  the moment that it happens that Sunday morning and the,
• 4:57
  you know,
• 4:57
  the heat's not working or this 90 degree degree summer day and the ac quits working and,
• 5:02
  and we're cranky.
• 5:03
  Right,
• 5:03
  buddy.
• 5:04
  Then,
• 5:04
  then we remember it.
• 5:05
  And so just get this one of the many advantages of being a part of that club,
• 5:08
  like you mentioned is that,
• 5:09
  hey,
• 5:10
  it's just scheduled,
• 5:10
  it's done.
• 5:11
  I don't have to worry about it.
• 5:12
  I don't have to think about it.
• 5:13
  Uh The heating cooling system typically isn't something that's exciting and fun to most people uh for us here at and cooling it is,
• 5:20
  that's what we,
• 5:20
  we,
• 5:20
  we do every day,
• 5:21
  you know,
• 5:22
  but for most it's not.
• 5:23
  And so let us take care of that,
• 5:24
  let us keep it up to spec for you and so that you can keep enjoying that comfort of walking in the house and being comfortable each and every time.
• 5:32
  Um And,
• 5:33
  and like I said,
• 5:34
  I know you mentioned there too,
• 5:35
  but you can go to the website for time sake.
• 5:37
  I won't go through all day,
• 5:37
  but there's lots of benefits uh to being a part of that club uh as well as getting the,
• 5:42
  the two services per year.
• 5:43
  So,
• 5:44
  yeah,
• 5:44
