Heading into the hot and humid months of the summer may not seem like the time to have pool heater service maintenance performed, but now is the time to perform pool heater service. The reason is: The schedules are more open and you may have an easier time getting the appointment of your choice and when your pool heater is serviced now, it will be ready for that inevitable cool snap (you know it’s coming!) 

Community swimming pools in Englewood, Florida and across the state of Florida are beginning to open. The geothermal and swimming pool heater service professionals from Symbiont Service are in the field performing maintenance and upkeep on the more than 30 YMCA swimming pool heaters we inspect. Rest assured that when our technicians are on site they are wearing masks and gloves and maintain a more than six foot distance from one another. It is also not necessary for our technicians to have to interact with the YMCA or other swimming pool owner if the owner doesn’t want to.

The ductwork in your home and in most commercial buildings are invisible. Because of this you don’t think about it nor do you ask yourself, is your ductwork working?

Understanding and configuring the ductwork in your home or office is one of those “invisible” tasks that the geothermal professionals from Symbiont Service Corp in Englewood, Florida do pay close attention to.

The reason ductwork needs to be thought about is that in addition to efficient geothermal cooling and heating for your home or office, you need to consider the components that carry that heated or cooled air throughout. The ductwork in the home or office plays a crucial part in the efficient distribution of the air. If the ductwork hasn’t been designed properly or if it’s improperly installed, sealed or clogged you can lose more than 20% of the heated and cooled air (that you’re paying for!) because the ductwork hadn’t been properly designed.

The geothermal energy experts from Symbiont Service Corp in Englewood, Florida have put together a guide to geothermal energy maintenance of the unit.

A geothermal energy unit is relatively low-maintenance and much of the equipment is beneath the ground and that means it’s not exposed to the elements. In Florida, as you know, hurricanes are one of the elements with which we are faced and not having the heating and cooling unit exposed is ideal.

Heat pumps use ambient air to heat your home, pool or commercial building. Should you use a heat pump?

A heat pump is considered one of the most energy-efficient and cost-effective ways to both heat and cools a home or building. In Englewood, Florida because of the warm, humid air, this device can save money and energy when you heat and cool the house or swimming pool.

When it comes to major appliances, preventative maintenance is always best. Waiting for something to break down or crossing your fingers and hoping it doesn’t will usually mean an emergency service visit, usually after hours and on a holiday! Planned maintenance prevents unexpected surprises.

Budgeting for a maintenance visit for your heating or air conditioning unit may not be at the top of your priority list, but the money you put into preventative maintenance pays off in the long run. Additionally, if you have one of our experienced geothermal service technicians pay a maintenance visit and there is a potential issue, you may have time to plan for it and have it addressed before you’re freezing or roasting if it breaks down when you’re not prepared.

A planned maintenance visit is one of the best ways you can ensure the heating and/or cooling system will be ready when you need it the most. Schedule a regular service visit with one of our qualified professionals to keep the HVAC system running smoothly and efficiently. Plan for a service visit in the spring and one before cooler weather settles in.
