Maintenance
Having Luxair complete a preventive maintenance for your air conditioning or furnace unit will ensure a system that runs more efficiently, which, in turn, lowers your utility bills. Dirty or unmaintained units can work up to 20% harder to provide the same amount of cooling or heating as well-maintained units. You’ll also have improved air quality with clean filters and coils. Having your heating and cooling system will maintained ensures it last much longer and fewer costly repairs will be required, especially during the peak winter and summer months. With regular maintenance, you won’t have to worry about failure and suffer for hours in freezing temperatures just because you’re using your unit more frequently.
