Heating Equipment Maintenance

Maintaining All Makes and Models of Heating Units

As winter nears, many Pennsylvania homeowners like you will start to turn on their heating systems. Whether you rely on a furnace, boiler, or heat pump to heat your home, you should expect that system to efficiently do its job. Though these systems are built to work well for roughly 15 to 20 years, they can only do so if they’re well maintained.

We recommend that you schedule regular heating maintenance services for your heating systems to continue to work at maximum efficiency. This means having a technician come out and look at your system annually (and more often as soon as your system reaches the 10-year mark).

Why Is Maintaining Your Heating System Important?

Is heating maintenance for your home really necessary? Some may assume that if their heating system seems to be working properly, they can skip the maintenance check for the year. If you doubt the importance of keeping your furnace, boiler, or heat pump regularly maintained, read the benefits listed below:

• Extended heating system lifespan – Furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps all have expected life spans of roughly 15-20 years. In order for your system to live as long as it promises, it must be regularly maintained. Heating technicians are able to make minor adjustments to keep your unit running better and for longer.
• Lower energy bills – Regular heating maintenance ensures that your system is running as efficiently as possible during the winter months. Keeping every part of your unit working at full capacity increases its efficiency and, in turn, helps lower your utility bill.
• Improved safety – The safety of your family is what’s most important to you and to our team. With every heating maintenance service, we review safety features and possible problem areas. A proper inspection helps ensure your home will continue to be heated and you don’t have to worry about potential safety issues.
• Fewer repairs – During every heating maintenance service, our technicians make minor repairs and tweaks as needed. Making small changes periodically lowers your chance of running into large problems that have developed over time.
