During the cold New England winters, a heating system you can rely on is essential. The last thing you want when it’s in the single digits is to come home from work to a cold house and a heating system that won’t turn on!
Although heating systems have come a long way since they were first invented, they still require some maintenance to ensure they run properly.
Maintenance Saves You Money
By lowering your energy bill, you’re able to save more money each month. By having regular maintenance on your heating system, a qualified HVAC technician will make sure your heating system is in working order and will be able to diagnose any small issues before they become big ones! Your HVAC technician will also inspect your ductwork, tighten connections, and calibrate your thermostat, which can all contribute to a higher heating bill.
Revamping Your Old HVAC System
How old is your heating system? As your heating system ages, it becomes less efficient, causing it to work harder and an increase in your heating bills. If your system isn’t quite ready to be replaced, your technician will be able to help you revamp your current system by performing a few basic tasks such as resealing and re-insulating your ducts.
Longer Lifespan
Let’s face it: It’s expensive to replace your heating system, no matter whether you have an electric HVAC or an oil-based furnace. But, with proper maintenance, you don’t actually need to replace any of these as your heating system can last for an average of 20 years. But, make sure that you give a check to each component of the heating system. For instance, if you have an oil-based furnace, the oil tank too needs to be inspected (sites like greensealoiltankservice.com could be of help in this regard) along with the furnace. Though you can always get the components replaced, preventing such a situation is always best and budget-friendly.
Increased Air Quality
Since your heating system moves warm air throughout your home, it has a huge impact on your indoor air quality. If your air filter is clogged or dirty, it can recirculate this dust, debris, and allergens back into your home. During your regular maintenance, your tech will check your filter, clean it, and if necessary, replace it.
