A New Year’s checkup for your Brooklyn natural gas system

At Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, we’re wishing all of our Brooklyn neighbors a Happy New Year. We hope 2019 will be the best year ever for you and your family and friends.

While you’re making New Year’s resolutions, why not make one to schedule regular maintenance on your home’s vital systems, like plumbing, HVAC, and natural gas? These systems can be just as important to your well-being as any other resolution topic.

Regular Checkups for Natural Gas

Have you considered switching from expensive, inefficient heating oil to natural gas for your Brooklyn home? The investment is well worth it in cost savings and health benefits. While you’re making the switch, you should also plan to protect your investment and peace of mind by scheduling regular inspections and maintenance for your natural gas system.

This isn’t just an efficiency issue, it’s a safety issue. When our service experts inspect a system, they look for damaged or leaking gas lines, making sure the natural gas stays in the lines and out of your living spaces. If you ever smell the telltale rotten egg scent of a natural gas leak, leave your home immediately and call 911 and your gas company to report the leak.

Boilers Need Checkups, too

If you’re planning on keeping your oil-fired boiler for a while, it needs attention in the New Year, too. Since these systems are typically older, there is more potential for problems to crop up. Our Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning service experts are experienced with servicing all types of boilers. They can give the system a tune-up and give you a heads-up if it’s nearing replacement time for your boiler. That way, you can plan ahead instead of getting caught off guard.

Even if it’s time to replace your boiler, it could turn into a win for your budget. Modern boilers are 40-50 percent more efficient than boilers 15 years old and older, meaning that the boiler will pay for itself over time.
