Enjoy Reliable Warmth With Expert Heating Maintenance For Your Raleigh, NC Home
Imagine Batman streaking down the streets of Gotham chasing after the Joker after the clown's latest heist, and suddenly the Batmobile's engine starts to grind, smoke and spit fire out of the front end instead of the back. And it's all because the Dark Knight got so caught up in his crimefighting he forgot to change the oil. Terrible right? Now, switch out Batman for you and the Batmobile for your furnace. Without proper heating maintenance, your furnace is just as likely to break down, leaving you out of luck when Mr. Freeze attacks... um, we mean, when it's winter time. That's why you need regular furnace maintenance from the heroes at Heroes Heating & Cooling!
Heating Maintenance FAQs
Yes, heating maintenance is necessary even for new systems. Regular maintenance ensures that your system operates efficiently and helps prevent unexpected issues. Many manufacturers require annual heating maintenance to keep the warranty valid, so skipping service can void your coverage. Early maintenance also helps identify any potential problems that could develop over time, ensuring your system remains in top condition. Additionally, routine maintenance can extend the lifespan of your new heating system and keep it running at optimal performance.
What Kind Of Benefits Can I Get Out Of Heating Maintenance?
The most obvious benefit of regular tune-ups for your furnace or heater is that it will run better, and for longer, without major problems. But that's not all you'll enjoy. For example:
- Longer Lifespan - The better you care for your furnace, the longer it'll last. This ensures you get your money's worth out of the unit and helps you avoid an expensive outlay for a new system for as long as possible.
- Higher Efficiency - Anytime the furnace is on, it's using energy. But how well is it using that energy? An unmaintained furnace will burn more energy than it needs to, which drives up your utility bills. Better efficiency = lower utility bills.
- Fewer Breakdowns - It's no surprise furnaces only seem to break down when you need them most - during the winter months - because that's when you're using them. But if yours is well-maintained, then minor issues can be caught and corrected before they turn into devastating repair jobs.
- Enhanced Peace of Mind - It may not seem like much, but knowing you can trust that your furnace will work when you need it to can certainly take a little bit of anxiety off your plate - and you can't put a price on that.
What's Included In A Regular Furnace Tune-Up?
We could go into a long, very detailed list of everything that's involved, but we also don't want to bore you with jargon and technical minutiae. But here are a few general things that should always get checked:
- Lubricate bearings and moving parts
- Check heat exchanger for proper operation
