Importance of Regular Heating Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential for the health of your heating system. Without it, your furnace or heat pump may fail prematurely. Although your system will eventually wear out over time, maintenance will keep it running longer. Hermetic Heating & Air recommends you schedule heating maintenance in the fall before the height of the winter heating season. This timing allows our technicians to prepare it for the hard work ahead while catching minor issues.
Here are some reasons to schedule annual tune-ups.
- Improves system safety
- Warranty compliance
- Addresses issues promptly
- Peace of mind
What’s Included in Our Heating Tune-Up
When you hire Hermetic Heating & Air to perform preventive maintenance, our technicians have an extensive checklist of tasks. This checklist ensures energy efficiency, safety and much more. Most visits take less than an hour, but if we find an issue and recommend repair, the visit could take longer.
Depending on whether you have a furnace or a heat pump, our tune-up tasks may vary slightly, but here’s what we typically include.
- Inspect wires and electrical connections
- Clean or replace air filter
- Inspect for safety issues
- Clean components
- Lubricate parts, as necessary
- Inspect heat exchanger or heating element in furnaces
- Check for leaks
- Monitor refrigerant levels in heat pumps
