Your heating system is probably the last thing on your mind this summer. However, the warmer seasons are the best time to have your equipment checked and serviced. By having your system regularly maintained, you can save money and time as well as avoid stress.
Discover why you should have your heating system inspected this summer from one of the area’s leading furnace companies.
Even a single component that’s not working properly can put a strain on your heating system. When not addressed, this can lead to costly repairs and even early unit failure. Keep in mind that a complete heating system replacement is more expensive than regular maintenance. Also, an efficient system doesn’t need to use as much energy to keep your space comfortable.
Another reason heating and air conditioning companies recommend having your HVAC system checked during the summer is to avoid emergency repairs. The last thing you want when temperatures are freezing is to deal with a broken electric heater or furnace. Regular maintenance and not delaying repairs can help you avoid unexpected unit breakdowns.
Dust, dirt and other debris can affect the efficiency of your HVAC system as well as your indoor air quality (IAQ). Poor IAQ can contribute to discomfort and various health risks. You can determine if your ducts are clogged by opening all your windows, making sure that there aren’t any flammable materials near your heating system and turning on the equipment. Don’t worry if you notice a faint burnt smell: it should go away in a few minutes. Should the odor linger longer than 10 minutes, however, turn off the equipment and contact your local HVAC technician.
