Maintenance

Just as you would for your family vehicle, regular maintenance will ensure your furnace and air conditioner are operating safely and as efficiently as it was designed to. It will help increase the lifespan of your Home Comfort System and reduce the possibility of an unexpected and inconvenient breakdown.

It can reduce your heating and cooling bills. The old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is why we encourage regularly scheduled maintenance.

Humidification

The experienced staff at Binnie Mechanical/Oakville Home Comfort, understand the importance of having good air quality in a home. The air may be at the perfect temperature and clean, but without the proper humidity levels, it is not as comfortable as it could be. In the winter months, the air in your home could lose most of it’s moisture, leading to static electricity and over time be damaging to furniture, flooring and valuables. Dry skin for your family and pets, aggravation of asthma and allergy attacks can also be issues.

A total home humidifier can restore proper moisture levels to the air in the home, while increasing comfort and protecting your family’s health and belongings. As humidified air feels warmer, you will be able to set your thermostat to a lower temperature, be comfortable and save energy at the same time.
