This blog post is going to be unique. Normally we’d explain a topic in detail, like heating repairs or replacement. But this time, we’d like to take it a step further. We’re going to tell two different stories!
One story is of a family trying to make it through the holiday season with an older heating system. The other is of a family in the exact same situation, with the one key difference being that they scheduled maintenance ahead of time.
Neither hypothetical family will have the extra cash on hand to purchase a brand-new heating system, things can get tight over the holiday season especially with presents. But they do have the money for routine maintenance or furnace repair in Seaford, DE. This will turn out to be a big difference between them.
The Stress of the Season Begins
When the holiday season arrives, things start to get hectic and stressful.
Family one, the family without heating maintenance, is going to spend a lot of time trying to guess what condition the heating system is in. Especially if they’ve got family members staying with them for the holidays, that heater needs to be up to snuff.
This might include many late night online searches to try and evaluate signs of an aging or breaking down heating system. There can be a lot of confusion, stress, and unnecessary purchases that come when this happens.
However, family two, the one that invested in heating maintenance early, knows exactly the state of their heating system. While they still might be stressed out about family coming across the country and present buying, they can feel good knowing that their heating system is up to the task. This stress might not seem like a big difference, but it can mean a lot in the moment.
A Problem Comes Up
Suddenly, a problem comes up during the holiday season. This can be a huge bummer and something that neither family prepared for.
Family one without the maintenance, will be harshly surprised and will need to spend money and time investing in professional heating repairs to make sure the problem is fixed accordingly. The problem could even require an extensive diagnosis that takes longer and makes the bill even higher.
Family two, on the other hand, likely knew this repair was coming. Maintenance allows a technician to identify when something is failing or in need of repair soon, so they could plan and save money accordingly. Also, as a member of our maintenance program, they get discounts on repairs and priority service, making scheduling this fix a breeze.

Each family had to go through a difficult moment with a heating repair during the holiday season. But the good news is that the family taking the time to become a part of our maintenance program avoided additional stress and payments that weren’t necessary.
