Winter Checkups? Already?

Winter Checkups? Already?
08.18.2017

Will your heating system be ready when the weather turns cold? It may seem early, but now’s the time to begin thinking about scheduling a pre-season checkup during September or October.

“Without proper maintenance, businesses can experience a variety of heating problems that can result in untimely heating outages, higher energy costs, reduced employee comfort and performance, and very expensive repairs,” says Eric Mangels of Baker Group’s Service team.

Mangels says one of the many things that can go wrong is a heat exchanger cracking, which can cause your system to be shut down: “It’s a lot less expensive to identify and repair a bad heat exchanger before it breaks down and the entire system has to be shut off for safety reasons, which leaves your employees and building cold.”

To reduce the risk of winter-related mechanical problems, Baker Group offers some low-tech, DIY suggestions. And, to be sure your system is in tip-top shape when that first cold snap occurs, schedule your pre-season winter checkup soon, before demand is high. Call us at 855.262.4000.
