Home heating maintenance can reduce repairs to keep you warm!
Having
regular maintenance performed is one of the most cost effective and
easiest ways to keep your house warm while reducing the need for heater repairs. There
are a few things that a homeowner can do to maintain a heater unit like
cleaning the vents, changing the air filter monthly, and cleaning the
outside heating system. However, without regular professional
maintenance, your heater can lose up to 5% efficiency per year of
operation. The best time to have your heater maintained is right before the winter starts to ensure that it is running efficiently and to avoid any problems when service is needed.
What all goes into heating system maintenance?
Maintaining your heater system is very similar to maintaining a car; you pay less up front to prevent future repairs and increase longevity. Below are a few of the check ups and cleaning that is involved with maintaining a home heating system:
- Check all electrical controls and components. Even if there is not an immediate broken component in your heating system, our trained technicians can identify and correct potential problems before they become actual problems and cost a lot of money in repairs.
- Clean condenser and evaporator coils.
- Oil motors as needed. Since there are many moving metal parts in a home heating system, the motors require fresh oil to avoid damage.
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Check and replace filters as needed.
- We also offer heater duct cleaning to improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
While heater maintenance helps to ensure steady heating in your home and prevent the unit from breaking down, sometimes there is nothing that can be done to avoid a problem.
