Don’t Overlook the Importance of Heating Maintenance

When the heat of summer starts setting in once more, homeowners in this area are quick to get their air conditioning systems tuned up to handle the challenges ahead. Because our heating season is considerably milder, though, some people seem to think that heating maintenance is not quite as important. This could not be further from the truth.

Before putting your heater into regular rotation, you need to dial our number and schedule a professional heating tune-up in Prosperity, SC. The benefits are far too great to pass up. Regular maintenance not only ensures efficient performance but also helps prevent unexpected breakdowns when you need your heater the most. Call now to have your heater prepared for the coming season!

What Does Heating Maintenance Entail?

You may think that simply replacing your air filter is enough to ensure a great performance from your heating system, but you’re way off base if this is the case. Professional heating maintenance covers much more than just replacing your air filter. It involves a comprehensive inspection and servicing of essential components to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency. From checking the blower and fan motor bearings to testing thermostat functionality, a thorough tune-up can catch potential issues before they become major problems. Ignoring maintenance could lead to common heating repairs that might have been easily avoided. Heating maintenance is just far too comprehensive. When we tune up your system we’ll:

  • Monitor flue draft
  • Check blower and fan motor bearings if applicable
  • Check, replace or leave 1” filters
  • Inspect furnace and heat exchangerRemove and clean burners if applicable
  • Inspect ductwork
  • Test defrost cycle and heat strips
  • Test thermostat
  • Visually check wiring connections
  • Test safety controls

And more!

Also, remember that you must schedule maintenance twice a year for those systems that run all year long. We’re talking here about ductless mini splits, heat pumps, and geothermal systems. If you have a system doing twice the work of a standard heater or AC, it requires twice the maintenance. Skipping tune-ups can also lead to efficiency issues that cause higher energy bills and increased wear and tear.  We can get it done right, no matter what type of system you may use. That way, you can heat your home safely, effectively, and efficiently.

Schedule your heating services with Fulmer Heating & Cooling, and be sure to ask about our great maintenance program.
