You stepped outside and the cold air took your breath away. It is like you were frozen in place. Your body, still accustomed to the balmy summer conditions, just isn’t ready to provide heat.

Guess what? Your body is similar to your heating system. It has sat dormant for 6+ months doing nothing more than basking in the glorious summer heat. As your air conditioning was churning, working its tail off to keep you comfortable, your heating system was taking a trip down easy street.

Now it is time to turn on your heater. Go ahead, flip the switch on your thermostat and enjoy the warm air that comes from the vents.

After your furnace or heat pump has run, pick up the phone and call the service professionals here at One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® of Hampton Roads. Similar to changing the oil in your car, your heating system needs to be “tuned up” at least once a year. When your heater is functioning properly, fresh, filtered air is heated then blown into the heating ducts and delivered to your home.

Whether you have a gas, oil, or electric heater, we can help maintain it. Don’t wait until your system breaks down to call for service. A clean, well-adjusted heater will save you money on your utility costs (gas or electric) and prolong the life of your system.

So go ahead, make your home to be as warm as sitting on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay on July 4th. Give us a call at (757) 656-3023 or send us a message through our online form and we can help your heater function at its peak this winter.
