Now that the fall season is here, you can expect cooler months to follow. In response, homes all over will be turning on their furnaces and heating systems pretty soon. Before you turn on yours, however, it’s best to get up-to-date with all your heating inspections and water heater repair needs. Your system is going to be operating for long periods of time after quite a while of not being in use. A seasonal tune-up can ensure that everything is in good condition and running as it should, which greatly decreases the likelihood that you’ll find yourself stuck at home in the middle of winter with a failing heater.
Seasonal maintenance isn’t just useful in keeping your furnace working; it has a number of other benefits as well. Let our HVAC technicians at Efficient Systems share with you the advantages of keeping up with furnace maintenance.
Energy Efficiency
Even if you’ve had multiple visits from electricians in order to optimize your home’s electrical systems, your energy consumption will still be sky-high if your heating system isn’t running as it should. Of course, if you’re using gas heating, your gas bills will still reflect high heating costs. During winter, heating costs can comprise up to half of your utility bills. Having a well-conditioned heating system can help you cut back on your energy bills by up to 30%.
Warranty Coverage
Many heating and air conditioning manufacturers require homeowners to stick to a regular maintenance schedule for warranty purposes. Some will even completely void coverage if their units haven’t been properly maintained.
Safety Precautions
A malfunctioning furnace or electric heater can be dangerous to have in your home. Seasonal inspections can help you spot problems before they get worse or even have a chance to develop. Fortunately, you’ll find many 24-hour electrical service and heating repair and maintenance companies offering emergency services should the need arise at an inconvenient time.
