I’m here today with Neal Carr of Prime Heating and Air to talk a little bit about his business and how they can help homeowners reduce energy costs when it comes time to turn their furnaces back on this fall. Prime Heating and Air is a family-run business that’s been in operation for just over three years now in the Syracuse area. Neal and his brothers have been very successful and have a lot of knowledge about heating and air systems. So what does Neal think are the biggest issues that homeowners have when it comes to their systems? The two biggest issues they run into are regular changing of furnace filters and getting yearly maintenance done on their furnaces. The filter in your furnace should be changed every 30 to 45 days. The filter will only cost a few bucks, but being diligent about replacing it could save you a ton of money in the long run by making sure your furnace is more efficient and works longer.

As far as the yearly maintenance is concerned, Neal and his team will be able to come in, take a look at the furnace, and make sure everything is working in proper order for just about $80. The more preventative maintenance you do on equipment like this, the fewer expenses you’ll have down the road and the longer your system will last. Neal recommends the fall as a good time to get your heating system serviced. If you have any questions for Neal or need Prime Heating and Air’s help with your yearly maintenance, be sure to give them a call at (315) 802-4287 or send them an email to info@primeheatandair.com. If you schedule a furnace servicing with Neal and mention us, he’ll throw in a three-month supply of filters at no additional cost. If you have any other real estate questions for me in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
