Heating Maintenance

Avoid Falling Victim To The Cold, Call Us To Winterize Your Heating System Before It Hits!

Regular maintenance, at least once a year, is recommended to ensure optimal performance of your heating system, prolong the system’s lifespan, lower your energy and utility bills, and avoid major and costly repairs. Generally, HVAC technicians recommend having your system winterized before the colder months come. They can be done in conjunction with closing out your cooling system at the end of the season.

Winterization Heating Maintenance Includes:

• Cleaning and inspecting heating coils used in heat pumps and electric furnace systems.
• In oil and gas systems, an inspection of the vents and burners must be preformed to ensure proper ventilation free from leaks, blockages, or buildups.
• Gas heating systems require an additional check of the heat exchanger to prevent carbon monoxide leaks in the home.
• Check thermostat functionality and calibration. 
• Inspection of electrical components to ensure optimal performance.
• Test and verify all safety limits, safeguards, pressure, flame sensors, and controls are functioning properly.
• Lubrication and inspection of moving parts to decrease noise, reduce friction, and lower general wear and tear.
• Check, clean, and adjust blower elements to ensure proper airflow and efficient even heating.

Due to the potentially extreme hazards associated with malfunctioning heating systems, it is imperative to have a certified HVAC specialist perform all heating maintenance and verify that your system meets all safety requirements and codes and functions properly.

General routine heating maintenance that you can do yourself also will contribute to the longevity and efficiency of your heating system.

A combination of scheduled professional heating maintenance and regular DIY heating maintenance done as a resident can provide your heating system with a long lifespan of optimal performance, ensuring that the climate of your home remains both comfortable and safe.

Some general do-it-yourself maintenance options are:

• Regular cleaning or replacing of air filters will reduce wear on your system, promote proper airflow, increase heating system efficiency, and contribute to cleaner and healthier air in your home.
• Keeping vents and registers clear of dust and debris will prevent unwanted air pollutants from circulating in your home and encourage proper airflow for your heating system.
• As with indoor vents, maintaining an area around your outdoor unit clear from debris, vegetation, or leaves will help promote system efficiency.
• Do not close vents all thee way in rooms that are not being used. It is ok to close them down a bit but do not close them off completely. This causes thee static pressure of the system to increase.

An early indication of a potential hazard or risk can be detected just by keeping an eye on any significant changes in energy usage and an ear out for unusual sounds coming from your unit.
