Once the calendar reaches October, fall is officially here.\nTemperatures might not drop right away <\/em>(hey,\nMother Nature can\u2019t read the calendar) but soon enough we\u2019ll be dealing with\nchillier weather, especially at night. This means that now is the perfect time\nfor one very important HVAC service\u2014your heating maintenance! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, what\u2019s that? You haven\u2019t even thought about your heater\nvery much? We appreciate your confidence that your heater is going to work just\nfine this fall and winter, but we\u2019d encourage you to consider scheduling your\nnext tune-up. Fall is really the best time to do this, since it\u2019s before you\nneed the system the most and when HVAC technicians are less likely to be busy\nwith emergency service calls. Read on for a number of ways a heating tune-up\nbenefits you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tune-Ups Keep Heaters Running Safely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance is a vital step of heating care for your natural\ngas-powered systems. Of course, using a gas-furnace is not inherently harmful,\nespecially since current designs have a number of safeguards in them. But with\nany gas-powered system, there\u2019s a potential for hazards, and that potential\ngrows if your heater doesn\u2019t receive professional maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can trust our certified technicians for thorough maintenance\nthat keeps your heater safe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tune-Ups Prevent Heater Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Were you aware that heating maintenance can prevent up to\n85% of the repairs your heater may ever <\/em>need\nin its lifespan? You should theoretically not need to call for repairs more\nthan a handful of times over the course of your system\u2019s service life\u2014as long\nas you have maintenance done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preventing small problems from becoming much bigger problems means your heater will have little chance of suffering a catastrophic shutdown this winter\u2014which is the last thing you want to happen, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tune-Ups Keep Your System Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Furnace efficiency is measured by an AFUE rating\u2014Annual Fuel\nUtilization Efficiency. The higher the AFUE percentage, the more of its natural\ngas supply the furnace will convert into heat, and the less heat is lost\nthrough exhaust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, without maintenance, efficiency declines each year\u2014about 5% each year you go without this service. This drop in efficiency applies to many types of heating systems, including boilers and heat pumps (heat pumps are measured by an HSPF rating). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is, you will pay more to run a heating\nsystem that is not routinely maintained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tune-Ups Prolong Equipment Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If we asked how long you would like your heating system to last, what would you say? We\u2019re going to guess you\u2019d say \u201cforever,\u201d but of course this is not reality. What is<\/em> reality, is a heater lasting throughout its entire estimated lifespan. Like we mentioned above, the typical furnace, when well maintained, can last 10-15 years. This means fewer costs for you since you won\u2019t be replacing a system years before your budget is ready for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to get in contact with a professional for your\nmaintenance service\u2014an amateur can\u2019t promise the safety and reliance that we can!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
