This is something you will hear from any<\/em> HVAC contractor: each fall, you must arrange for a professional technician to come to your home and provide your heating system with an inspection and tune-up. It doesn\u2019t matter if you rely on a heat pump, electric furnace, gas furnace, boiler, or some other type of central heating system. It needs to have this maintenance done before the winter weather arrives.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll explain below a few of the reasons why this is a universal recommendation from professionals.<\/p>\n

It helps prevent surprise breakdowns<\/h3>\n

The #1 reason that you need maintenance for your heater is it will help avoid an unpleasant system breakdown during one of the coldest days of the year. If the heater doesn\u2019t have checks to find repair issues and cleaning and adjustments to relieve stress on it, it will run a higher risk of failing when forced to do a large amount of work. Thanks to maintenance, you probably won\u2019t find yourself in a panic trying to get emergency repairs done.<\/p>\n

It keeps the heater running safely<\/h3>\n

This is mostly important for gas furnaces and boilers. Regular maintenance will help them to continue to operate without creating any safety hazards from leaking exhaust gases.<\/p>\n

It stops operating costs from rising<\/h3>\n

A heater will turn inefficient if it is allowed to run without routine tune-ups. On average, a heating system will cost about 5% more to operate for each year that it goes without a maintenance visit. These price increases will quickly add up.<\/p>\n

It extends equipment life<\/h3>\n

When a heating system doesn\u2019t receive regular maintenance, its life expectancy will plunge and it will need to be replaced years before it should. Maintenance will help you see that you get the best return investment on your heater\u2019s original installation.<\/p>\n
