Heating System Tune-Up — What It Involves, and Why You Need It Annually
The cool days of fall are just about here, and before you know it, we'll be flipping on our heating to keep warm during the cold winter months. However, to ensure your heating system is up to the task — which includes staying away from avoidable heating repairs — it pays to have an HVAC technician give it some much-needed TLC before frigid temperatures come to town.
The truth is, regular maintenance for your heating system is the best proponent of smooth operation and optimal performance, which makes pre-season maintenance that much more critical. Here's what you need to know about scheduling a heating tune-up every year:
What's Involved in a Heating System Tune-Up?
Here are just some of the things you can expect our specialists to perform when they visit your home for a heating system tune-up:
● Carbon monoxide safety test and measure combustion efficiency (if you have a gas unit)
● Inspect safety control and wiring
● Calibrate and test thermostat
● Inspect and clean air filters
● Inspect blower assembly
● Lubricate fan motor
● Test motor capacitors
Why Should I Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up Every Year?
There is a bevy of benefits to getting your heating system tune-up every year, including:
Cost Savings
Setting up a maintenance visit is considerably more affordable than paying up for repairs that proper heater maintenance can prevent. While you can't stave off necessary heating repairs indefinitely, a heating system tune-up grants an HVAC technician the opportunity to detect and fix minor problems before they become expensive, inconvenient complications down the road. This helps you avoid hassles and breakdowns when you need heat the most!
Extended Service Life
The better and more regularly maintained your heating system, the fewer repairs it'll require. The fewer repairs it requires, the longer its useful service life. Simply put, a heating system tune-up is a wise financial investment since it helps your system last as long as it possibly can.
Increased System Efficiency
Just like a vehicle or any household appliance, the older your heating system gets, the less efficient it becomes. Doing without a heating system tune-up every year means subjecting your unit to an even more rapid decline of efficiency. An annual tune-up will work to improve energy efficiency and therefore keep energy costs at bay.
Improved Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Over time, undesirable substances such as dust, soot, and sediment build up in your heating unit. By arranging a professional heating tune-up, you can be proactive in safeguarding you and yours against air contaminants that comprise your home's indoor air quality.
