An A/C Tune-Up Could Save You Thousands
admin June 18, 2015
Spring is in the air! Temperatures are climbing straight up through the 50s and up into the 60s, and it’ll soon be time to break out your swimsuits and kick on the central A/C. Before the cooling season officially begins, get your air conditioning maintenance check-up and make sure you aren’t stuck sweating with a broken A/C on a hot summer day. Although you only use your air conditioning system a few months out of the year, it is getting exposed to the elements year-round. The summer sun, insects, dirt, debris, and mold can damage your system, and if you do not get it checked annually, you run the risk of damaging it permanently. Scheduling your tune-up could save you thousands of dollars in energy bills and repair costs. Sign up for a Harris Comfort service plan today and your annual tune-up is included!

Harris Comfort is Pennsylvania’s go-to propane provider. The versatility of propane makes it useful year-round, from fueling propane-fired fireplaces and room heaters to extending your summer with your gas grill and heated pool.

In 2010, the average cost of propane was almost $10 less per million BTU than electricity. Dependable fuel: Propane is stored in a tank on your property and will work during power outages, even when other energy sources won’t. Peace of mind: Propane is strictly regulated and won't ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches 940°F. Green energy: Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. It is also nontoxic and insoluble in water.
