How Often Do I Need a Heater Tune-Up?
Your heater should be inspected and tuned up by a professional at least once a year. It is usually best to schedule your maintenance appointment in the early fall. After sitting dormant during the warmer months, your system has built up a lot of dust and could use some attention. It needs to be cleaned and tuned up by a heating technician to ensure that each component functions properly and your system is prepared to keep you warm all winter long.
What Are the Benefits of Routine Heater Maintenance?
Unfortunately, many homeowners do not realize the importance of heater maintenance and they end up paying a big price as a consequence. Without routine care, a system will often experience frequent breakdowns, fail to keep a home comfortable, and likely experience premature failure.
On the other hand, there are many benefits to regularly maintaining your heater. These include:
- Greater efficiency: Your technician will ensure that each component maintains peak performance, which helps your system function properly without wasting tons of energy.
- Savings: Because your system will be able to heat your home without using up a bunch of energy, you can expect your utility bills to drop significantly. In addition, maintenance keeps each component of your system in top shape, so you won’t have to deal with frequent breakdowns. That means you can also expect to save tons of money not paying for expensive repairs.
- Improved comfort: With routine maintenance, you don’t have to worry about leaky ductwork, uneven airflow, reduced airflow, and any other problems that prevent your heating system from reaching the desired temperature set on your thermostat.
