We even have a maintenance program you can enroll in. Our plan offers the following benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Same-day emergency service 365 days a year (Just call by 5 p.m.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50% off diagnostic fees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15% off all repairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five-year warranty on repairs while the agreement is kept active<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$25 per year per unit (up to $500) towards replacement equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swap Your Filter Once a Season<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you swap out your filter once every season or once every three months. A fresh filter keeps your heater running in top condition, avoids repair, and helps your heater last as long as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reconsider Your Thermostat<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best things you can do for your thermostat is to upgrade. If you have an analog thermostat that uses a dial or a switch, it\u2019s important to upgrade to a <\/span><a href=\"\/heating\/thermostats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smart or Wi-Fi thermostat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is because these thermostats are more efficient and work harder to save you energy and money. We\u2019d still recommend this upgrade even if you have an older digital model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not ready to spend money on an upgrade, you should reconsider the placement of your thermostat. If your thermostat is near heat-generating appliances, in a spot that receives an excessive amount of natural light, or in a spot that doesn\u2019t receive a lot of natural light, you should reconsider the placement. This will throw off the reading in your home and hurt your heater\u2019s efficiency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear the Pathway of Your Vents<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t block your home\u2019s vents. If you put furniture, paintings, or posters blocking even a corner of your home\u2019s vent, you\u2019re going to impede the airflow in your home. This is going to make your heater use more energy to heat your home in the exact same way. Clearing the pathway of your vents makes the process easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose Professional Service<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you choose professional service every single time. This is one of the most important things you can do because professional service makes everything so much easier. Our professional work is backed by years of training and experience. We\u2019ll get you exactly what you need for your heater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Contact <\/b><a href=\"\/contact-us\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Scaran<\/b><\/a><b> when you need work for your heater in Staten Island and the surrounding area.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is how you can keep your heater running well through the rest of the cold weather season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[170,88],"class_list":["post-1019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-heating-services","tag-staten-island"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1019"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1022,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1019\/revisions\/1022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scaran.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
