I had had the same heater for quite a long time.
It always worked really well for me but I knew that eventually the day would come when it stopped working.
It was an older unit and so I wasn’t sure how long it would take, but I knew it probably wouldn’t be too far into the future considering its age. However despite this I still decided to go ahead and went to get any Heating and cooling tune-ups done. The reason is because, well I understand that he didn’t pull in tune-ups, which can be very important to the overall health of your heating and AC system. I just didn’t have the money and I didn’t want to deal with having a heating and cooling technician coming out to my home. I had other things and projects scheduled around the house that I was putting all my focus on and I didn’t want to have to worry about having to wait for some specialist to come out to my home to perform the heating and AC tune-ups. I figured the best way to save money would just not to worry too much about my heating and cooling tune-ups, after all I’ve been a couple years without having any kind of regular maintenance or service down to my HVAC system is still fine. I do believe one of the main reasons that I had lasted so long was because not only when I bought it was it one of the top of the line HVAC units, but for the most part I was pretty good with regular service and care. I normally had any kind of maintenance and upgrades performed on it, but had decided to slack off for a little while. Unfortunately after a couple of months the heating and AC system did break down and I was forced to have a HVAC technician come out to take a look and he recommended that I should have it replaced. So now I am focusing on trying to have my heating and cooling system replaced.
