We’ll keep your heating and cooling equipment humming along.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could enjoy the stunning fall colors and mild weather for more than a few weeks each year? It can sometimes feel like no sooner have the toasty summer afternoons of the South Shore disappear than we all need to fire up our furnaces and boilers for the chilly days ahead.

That said, the all-too-brief fall season is a good time to arrange HVAC service for your home in Braintree, Plymouth or elsewhere in the Atlantic-Pratt Energy service region. Let’s discuss the benefits of HVAC service, how often you should arrange it and how we can make it more affordable for you.

When (and How Often) to Service Your HVAC Equipment

As a general rule, you should arrange professional maintenance for your heating and cooling equipment once a year. We suggest doing so when you’re not using the equipment to keep your home comfortable. Fall or spring are excellent times to do it.

That said, if you haven’t had your heating system serviced for a while, don’t wait. Reach out to us today to get it done before the icy winter nights arrive in full force.

Benefits of Annual HVAC Service

When you take care of your HVAC equipment with annual maintenance, you reap a host of benefits for your comfort and home budget. Here are just a few:

1. More dependable heating and cooling. Well-maintained HVAC equipment can more effectively keep your home at the best temperature, no matter the weather outside. An annual tune-up also allows our technicians to fix small problems before they lead to breakdowns.
2. Better energy efficiency. You can benefit pretty much all year from lower heating oil and electricity consumption as your HVAC equipment runs as efficiently as possible.
3. Longer system lifespan. When your furnace, boiler or central A/C gets regular maintenance, it will run effectively for its longest service life.
4. Protecting your manufacturer’s warranty. Your equipment’s manufacturer’s warranty typically requires you to get annual service from a professional HVAC technician.

Atlantic-Pratt Energy makes it easy to get annual service for your heating and cooling systems.

Maintenance Plans from Atlantic-Pratt

We offer two levels of affordable service plan coverage that provide protection and guaranteed professional service for your equipment. The most popular option is our Maximum Efficiency Plan, which includes:

• Annual service from the Atlantic-Pratt team, never contractors
• Priority service, including emergency service, seven days a week in the winter
• 15% off any heating system repair we do, with absolutely no exclusions. (There’s also no additional charge for extra zones.)
• $50 in Loyalty Credits each year — up to $500 in total — that you can apply toward the replacement of furnaces, boilers, oil tanks, heat pumps, air conditioners and burners

If you’re concerned about the possibility of an older HVAC system needing more frequent service, you can also opt for our Total Protection Plan. This option has a higher enrollment fee, but it covers the full cost of most repairs. You won’t pay anything out of pocket.
