How often do you think it\u2019s reasonable for heating systems to need repair? Every few years? Once a year? More than once? What about actual system breakdowns, when you\u2019re not just concerned about an odd noise or the heat not being evenly distributed, but your whole heating system has stopped working completely?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got news for you: almost all of these situations can be completely prevented. Yes, that\u2019s right, whatever number of heating repair needs you\u2019re used to dealing with, approximately 85% of them are unnecessary. How can you avoid heating system issues and breakdowns and make sure you\u2019ll rarely if ever need repairs? With routine maintenance. Here\u2019s the drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Should Be Annual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every single year, ideally before you turn the system on for the first time as the weather gets chilly, you need to schedule heating maintenance. This will clear away a year\u2019s worth of dust and grime, replace a year\u2019s worth of worn-away lubricant, and correct a year\u2019s worth of tiny issues like loose or worn components before they turn into big, repair-worthy problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Must Be Performed by a Professional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To work on a heating system, you need a qualified HVAC technician. This is for a variety of reasons. They\u2019ve got the training, expertise, and tools to be able to do a thorough and comprehensive job without wasting time. They know how to keep themselves safe and how to ensure that the system is safe for you and your family. And they\u2019ll prevent you from voiding your warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Keeps Your System under Warranty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Warranty agreements work both ways. The manufacturer agrees to cover certain costs, such as if a component fails prematurely because of a manufacturing flaw. The purchaser agrees to keep the system in good condition. DIY heating system maintenance and repair will instantly void your warranty. And your agreement probably requires you to have annual professional maintenance performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Reduces System Strain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your heating system is clogged with dust, lacking lubrication, and coping with a variety of issues like misaligned parts or an inaccurately calibrated thermostat, it ends up working harder than it should. This strain is bad for the various components of the system and leads to increased friction, electrical overheating, and lots of wear and tear, especially on moving parts. Sooner or later, those parts will require repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Promotes Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working harder, for a heating system, means using more energy. Whether your heating system is gas or electric, if it doesn\u2019t get annual maintenance, it will require more power, more fuel, just to get the same job done\u2014or often, to get the job done more poorly. Who wants higher bills and a system that doesn\u2019t work as well? Nobody! By reducing friction and wear and tear, maintenance keeps the system from wasting energy and driving up your utility costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
