The Importance of Annual Heating System Maintenance

Just like your car, your heating system needs routine care to keep it running at its best. An annual tune-up – included in the Southville Petroleum Gold Service Plan – will help you to:

• Spot small issues before they turn into expensive repairs – About four out of five heating system repairs are avoidable with professional preventive care. Considering the cost of these repairs, a small investment in professional maintenance is the smart way to go.
• Lower heating bills – Without routine maintenance, a system will lose about 5-10 percent efficiency every year. By preventing that percentage loss, an annual tune-up virtually pays for itself (while also lengthening the life of your heating system and cutting down the risk of repairs).
• Keep your warranty in force – Most heating equipment warrantees require annual service to keep their coverage in force. If you don’t get routine maintenance, you might find yourself doling out money for out-of-pocket repairs – even if your equipment is still under warrantee!
• Reduce stress – Professional service for your heating system will not only keep your furnace, boiler, and burner running better, it will keep them running longer and more reliably – an especially comforting thought during the lengthy Long Island winter.

For one low fee of $109, the Southville Gold Plan includes:

• An annual cleaning and oil burner tune-up to keep your heating equipment running at peak efficiency
• Coverage for labor and replacements for more than 50 parts
• Free Automatic Delivery of your heating oil
