Love is in the air! Or is that dust from a neglected heating system? Do you need a heating tune-up? Your furnace or boiler has been working so hard for months now. If you forgot to schedule maintenance in the fall, or if you’re noticing a drop in your system’s performance or efficiency, give it the loving gift of professional heating service this Valentine’s Day.
Maintenance: The Process
Your HVAC technician will meticulously, gently clean every part of your heating system, delicately disassembling and carefully cradling each component, and then they will apply lubricant with the mindfulness of a masseuse in a high-end spa. A thorough inspection of the system is next, so anything in need of realignment will be adjusted with the care of a chiropractic treatment.
Maintenance: The Benefits
Your heating system will be so relaxed and able to work so easily after this luxury treatment that everything will flow more smoothly. Less energy will be required to run the system, keeping your bills down, because dust clogs and lack of lubrication won’t be gumming up the works. And the risk of needing repairs, or worse, having a breakdown, will drop to just 15% of what they would be without maintenance!
Just as you will live longer if you receive medical care, your heating system will live longer thanks to the professional service it receives, saving you from the significant cost of replacing it. And there’s safety to consider as well. Without maintenance, a heating system can cause all kinds of risks, like electric shock, electrical fire, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Finally, think of your comfort. You and your loved ones can relax in cozy warmth, with the heat more evenly distributed throughout your home, in the peaceful knowledge that your heating system is in tip-top condition. That sounds like the perfect setting for a Valentine’s Day romance! Or maybe just for some tasty treats and a movie marathon by your very comfortable self.
Don’t Forget the Air Filter
If your heating system is a forced-air furnace, whether gas or electric, it has an air filter. To keep the system happy and healthy, this filter needs to be changed. How often? The usual recommendation is monthly. Consider doing it more often if your home is extra-dusty thanks to furry pets, home renovations, or other causes.
Rely on the Professionals
While the air filter changes can be done yourself, other maintenance jobs and repairs for your heating system must always be done by qualified technicians. This is for safety reasons, legal liability, and to protect your system and keep it under warranty. It’s also because you’ll actually save a lot of time and money having an expert do this, rather than going back and forth to the hardware store yourself and spending hours on the internet researching heating systems.
