Annual Maintenance

Your HVAC system is the heart of your home and maintenance and cleaning is the key to keeping your system running at peak performance. Annually maintaining your equipment will not only ensure proper operation but will also give you peace of mind.

Most insurance companies and all furnace manufacturers recommend that you complete an annual service and safety inspection on your equipment. To keep your warranty valid both with Moore & Russell Heating and with Lennox you are required to do a service and safety check once a year.

As part of our 25 point inspection our licensed gas technician will check for any potentially dangerous gas and carbon monoxide leaks in the home. They will also check for parts that may potentially fail and give you our expert recommendation. This can help avoid a potential failure in the coldest or hottest days of the year.
