When to Call a Heating Repair Company
Even the most well-maintained heaters and furnaces are prone to problems that can lead to system breakdown if not dealt with as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, many heating issues are beyond the average Do-It-Yourself repair and require the skills and training of professionals.
Below are some of the most common problems that warrant calling a heating service company.
Unexplained Increase in Heating Bills
It’s normal for your heating bill to increase when temperatures drop to the freezing point; however, if you start getting astronomical increases on your energy bills, it means there’s a problem with your heater. Typically, a system tune-up brings things back to normal, and having a professional inspect your system is the best way to accomplish this.
Performance Decline
If you notice that some rooms in your home are colder than others, whereas in the past they’ve all been relatively the same temperature, it could be various issues causing the problem from a bad thermostat to a failing blower motor. Again, a professional inspection will get to the root of the problem and restore your system to maximum performance.
Noises
If you hear rattling, squealing, or any other strange noises when your heater powers on, it’s not normal and warrants a call to a professional for repair as soon as possible.
To keep your heater in tip-top shape and running at maximum efficiency, it’s recommended you schedule annual tune-ups every fall.
Our Heater Tune Up Service
Every piece of complex machinery requires routine maintenance to keep it running in top form. While you wouldn’t ignore scheduled vehicle maintenance, you shouldn’t skip furnace maintenance either, and here's why.
Energy Savings
A dirty or neglected heater must work harder than necessary to keep you and your family comfortable. With routine heater maintenance, the technician performs a variety of checks and adjustments to ensure your system is running at peak performance, including:
- Tightening loose connections
- Lubricating moving parts
- Cleaning or changing the air filter
- Testing the airflow
- Inspecting the ductwork
- Testing system controls
- Calibrating the thermostat
Increased Comfort
If your heater has worn-out or malfunctioning components, it can reduce airflow and prevent the system from delivering the desired heat output, leaving your family struggling to keep warm no matter how much they fidget with the thermostat. Regular system maintenance ensures your system works at maximum performance, providing you with the comfort level you desire with the least amount of work.
Improved Air Quality
Your heater disperses the air throughout the entire house. So, if that air contains pet dander, dust mites, bacteria, germs, or mold and mildew, it can harm your family’s health. With routine maintenance, a professional technician cleans the system and inspects the ductwork to ensure the air coming out is as clean and healthy as possible.
Extends Your Heater’s Lifespan
Your heater is a significant home investment and one you’ll want to hang onto for as long as possible. Routine maintenance allows you to replace worn-out parts and fix minor issues before they damage the system causing them to fail prematurely.
Improved Reliability
Imagine your furnace or heater breaking down in the middle of winter when you need it most. Sadly, this happens too often, and it can be challenging to get a repair during a heating company’s busiest time of year.
With annual heating maintenance and tune-ups, you ensure your system is in top condition and reduce the chance of system failure and costly repairs.
