The last thing anyone wants is for their heating system to shut down in the middle of winter. The key to keeping your system running smoothly year-round is having it properly maintained. Let’s take a moment and go over a few of things you can do to make sure your heater does not break down when you need it most.
- The best thing you can do for your heating system is to have a licensed technician tune-up the equipment at least once a year. This will ensure that it is running efficiently and if something is on the verge of breaking, we can repair it before it progresses into a major problem or a complete breakdown. A complete breakdown will most likely require a new system which can cost quite a bit of money.
- Changing your filters regularly will also extend the life of your heating system. It’s an easy and inexpensive thing you can do to take care of your systems. The filters are there to protect your system from debris, dust and other things. If they get clogged up, they cannot do their job properly and your heating and air systems will have to work harder to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
- You should also make sure there is good airflow for your system. Make sure air vents and registers are not blocked by furniture and clean them occasionally to keep dust and debris from building up. This will allow your heating system to run efficiently and not have to work harder to keep your home warm.
