Home heating and cooling can be very costly, especially during chilly Cambridge winters and warm East Coast summers. But did you know that you can actually save money by having your heating and cooling system regularly maintained by an HVAC professional? Fawcett Oil provides expert heating and cooling services that can help lower your HVAC costs, minimize repairs, and improve overall comfort. Here’s how regular maintenance can help save you money.
1. Minimizes the Cost of Future Repairs
One of the benefits of regular heating and cooling maintenance is that it’s preventative, which means that it helps you avoid serious heating and cooling failures down the road. The more severe the problem, the more expensive the repair. Having regular heating and cooling maintenance will help you identify HVAC problems before they get too serious, which helps you lower the cost of repairs in the future.
2. Extends your Heating or Cooling System’s Lifespan
Regular checkups with a Cambridge area heating and cooling professional can help your HVAC system last longer. As parts age, they become more likely to cause irreparable damage to your heating and cooling system. An HVAC professional can replace worn parts and maintain your HVAC system’s health, which will prevent long-term, permanent damage to your HVAC system and extend its usable life.
3. Enhances Efficiency for Safer Performance
Finally, regular repairs can help your HVAC system operate more efficiently, which helps to reduce the likelihood of damage to your system. An inefficient heating or cooling system requires lots of energy for fairly basic operations. The demand for more energy can cause stress on individual heating or cooling components, which increases the risk of failure. The more efficient your HVAC system is, the lower the risk of failure.

Oil is one of our earth’s most precious resources. Today, we use oil to produce a wide variety of items and materials, and use it to power motor vehicles of all kinds. But just over a century ago, oil was only beginning to become widely used as a resource for production and power. In fact, it wasn’t until the late 1880s that oil was even used for everyday heating. Here’s a look at the history of heating oil.
Centuries ago, human use of oil was much more limited than it is today. Ancient civilizations primarily used oil to make fire, which was the only way to illuminate dark spaces. Oil was also used in very low-level manufacturing, including the use of bitumen, a natural oil byproduct, for waterproofing and sealing. However, early civilizations did not know how to control or manage the use of oil in an efficient manner. This technology would not be developed until the 19th century.
The use of oil for heating was made possible in 1880 by Amanda Theodosia Jones, an author and inventor who lived in northern Pennsylvania. Jones is widely credited for patenting the very first oil burner, which is a critical component of oil burning furnaces. This early oil burner allowed homeowners to produce fire using a supply of heating oil in a very controlled manner. It was also much easier to use than other heating methods, such as fireplaces or the Franklin stove, which were both messy and required large supplies of fuel.
However, the oil burner was not fully developed until coal furnaces completely replaced wood burning stoves as the primary heating method in the United States. In the 1920s, heating oil furnaces began to outsell coal burning furnaces. This trend continued throughout century as oil prices remained lower and more efficient than most other heating options.
