Residential Maintenance Program for HVAC Equipment in High River & Okotoks
The heating and cooling equipment in your house needs regular maintenance and service to function properly and last longer. G.M. Mechanical strongly advises you to register for regular annual maintenance programs to get your HVAC equipment serviced so that when the season changes, you are well-prepared to welcome it.
Furnace Maintenance and Repair
A furnace may last you for about 25 years, given that you take proper care of it. Our technicians ensure that your furnaces last you for 25 years and more by providing you with great service. Do you know that your warranty may be void if your furnace is not serviced by a qualified technician? Well, that is one more reason to get it serviced regularly. Our technicians will take a close look at your system to make sure it's working properly. Our technicians are NATE certified, which is considered the gold standard in HVAC.
The servicing of your furnace includes going over and cleaning your furnace’s gas burners, examining your heat exchanger for cracks, observing airflow and blower operation to guarantee your furnace is working correctly, checking the gas valve, examining electrical-powered items for damage or rust and more.

Tips and hints from G.M. Mechanical!Water heaters are being hit hard with tariffs right now to the point where if you have a Power, Direct-Vent water tank, the unit is of a comparable cost to a tankless water heater. The only thing is, with a tankless water heater, you can still get up to a $1000.00 rebate from the Alberta government. If you don’t have a/c and want to keep your house cool, keep your blinds closed during the day, open the windows at night to help your house cool down. Also, run your furnace fan to help circulate air from the basement to the rest of the house. If you got a new furnace after the flood, your warranty might be running out this year. Book a Maintenance service call to potentially spot any issues before the parts are no longer under warranty! One way to check for water leaks is to watch your water meter. There should be no movement over 2 hours of no water use. Irrigation systems and lawn services usually leak water into/onto the ground, but over a 24 hr period can amount to a lot of water wasted. Irrigation lines should be blown out and air tested every year (usually in the fall). And lastly… please change your furnace filters often if you are completing a summer home renovation project. Drywall dust and other construction dust can wreak havoc on a furnace when it comes time to start again in the fall! As always, if you have any questions or need our help, please call G.M. Mechanical at 403-652-1282 or visit www.gmmech.net.
