Bge Customers Can Schedule an HVAC Tune-Up at No Additional Cost.
This program supports the EmPOWER Maryland Energy Efficiency Act.
An Ounce of Prevention…
When it comes to your heating and cooling equipment, everything is great until it isn’t. Right? We get it. Like with your car, a little maintenance goes a long way to head off an untimely breakdown and costly repairs or replacement. That’s why BGE offers you an HVAC Tune-up at no additional cost from Columbia to Ellicott City. It’s included in your BGE electric service.
How Does the Tune-Up Help?
Save Money
Well-maintained equipment helps prevent costly breakdowns by as much as 95%, reducing energy use and extending the life of your system.
Enhance Comfort
Regular maintenance helps your system produce and distribute warm or cool air more evenly around your home and helps minimize the chances of a noisy unit.
Improve Air Quality
A Tune-up battles a variety of substances (like dust mites, pollen and mold you’d rather not breathe), helping enhance indoor air quality.
Help the Environment
Consuming considerably less energy is good for the planet.
