Benefits of Annual Heating Tune-Ups
Scheduling heating maintenance with our qualified professionals can help to prevent problems with your system. An annual tune–up includes a few adjustments to improve the system and an inspection for quality and efficiency purposes. Lower your bills throughout the heating season and prevent heating issues from occurring during the winter with a fall maintenance session.
So why schedule this service when there does not appear to be anything wrong with your heater?
Heater maintenance has many benefits, including:
- Improved efficiency. In the winter, your bills may go up quite a bit once you start running your system for large portions of the day. Schedule a heating system tune-up at the beginning of the season and you won’t have to worry about bills skyrocketing due to dirty or poorly adjusted components.
- Better heating. A heater that is regularly tuned up may perform better and provide you with greater overall comfort. With a few adjustments to the system, you can enjoy greater temperature accuracy, faster delivery of heat to your home, and a system that encounters fewer troubles throughout the winter.
- Longer equipment life. When you schedule a heater tune-up every year for the life of the system, it could actually live longer than expected due to the improvement in performance and efficiency.
- Provides peace of mind. It’s not very common, but it is possible that a gas heater can have problems with the gas ignition system or the heat exchanger that lead to a potential gas or carbon monoxide leak. A thorough inspection of your unit can give you peace of mind that this is not the case, or it allows you to find out about them early on so you can schedule service and avoid a dangerous situation.
Heating Maintenance FAQs
Is my furnace dangerous if it don't maintain it?
Your furnace can be dangerous, especially if it develops an unknown problem. Any combustion-based furnace might be a risk if it’s leaking fuel or failing to vent combustion byproducts safely, so you should keep detectors in your home if you have a gas furnace or similar system. If you smell gas, call your utility provider immediately to report it!
Should I upgrade to a heat pump?
In the right environment, a heat pump can provide 300% of even the most efficient traditional heating system’s energy efficiency. That said, it’s not a system without drawbacks; you’ll have a more expensive upfront investment, the system loses efficiency below 40 degrees and becomes worse than a furnace below freezing, etc. Having both systems offers the best of both worlds if you’re willing to maintain both.
Does preventive maintenance on my heater help?
The easiest way to avoid finding yourself paying for repairs will be to keep up with regular maintenance and pay for smaller repairs as needed. Problems in a heating system tend to get bigger over time, instead of happening all at once. That means you can avoid some of them completely with annual maintenance and tune-ups and keep others minor by repairing them quickly. Learn to spot the signs of an issue!
Can I do any maintenance or repairs myself?
While you can’t do many repairs on a heating system safely, there are a few things you should be keeping up with throughout the year and checking if you have problems. You should change or clean your filter, which can waste energy and cause problems if it’s dirty, or stop your system entirely if it’s clogged. You should also keep an eye out for duct obstructions, dirt, debris where it shouldn’t be, etc. Make sure to check the breaker if your system isn’t working at all!
