May is National Electrical Safety Month – and we have an important safety reminder about your home comfort equipment ...
Cooling and heating equipment requires electricity to operate – and you should NEVER attempt to fix an air conditioner, boiler, or furnace by yourself! Rather, you should leave ALL repairs to the expert technicians at South Shore Heating & Cooling.
Do not attempt a thing!
Repairing home comfort equipment as a D.I.Y project is NEVER a good idea. Doing so could result in:
- Life-threatening safety hazards like carbon monoxide poisoning, fires, and electrocution
- Financial and warranty risks, and costly botched repairs
- Legal issues like handling of refrigerants without EPA certification or not meeting local safety codes
- Reduced system performance and equipment longevity, and energy inefficiency
Rely on the experts at South Shore Heating & Cooling.
Our techs are specially trained, licensed, and certified to repair, maintain, and install today’s sophisticated comfort systems.
- They understand your equipment’s electrical connections.
- They have the tools and the advanced diagnostic equipment the job requires.
- They can ensure that your cooling or heating system is performing in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Most of all, they -- and all of us -- want you to stay safe.
What You CAN Do Yourself ...
If you’re still itching to use your mechanical muscle, you can safely perform these basic maintenance tasks to keep your system running:
- Change or clean your air conditioning filter monthly during the cooling season.
- Replace thermostat batteries once a year, or immediately when your thermostat’s low battery indicator flashes a warning, or has a blank screen.
- Keep your A/C’s outdoor condenser unit free of leaves and dirt.
If you experience an issue with your equipment – no matter how small – call us at 508-398-6901.
