With chillier temperatures for at least the next couple of months, you may be wondering if your aging or struggling heater has what it takes to see it through the rest of winter and early spring. If you skipped fall maintenance, this can be a big concern.<\/p>\n
Will you have a heater breakdown on one of the coldest days of the year? Should you have your system inspected? Is maintenance worth it this late in the season?<\/p>\n
The answers are: Maybe, Yes, and Absolutely!<\/p>\n
Read on as we uncover the importance of consistent <\/em>heating maintenance, no matter the time of year.<\/p>\n It\u2019s entirely possible you\u2019ll get through winter without maintenance. But if you have an aging heater, or one that\u2019s been experiencing problems lately, do you really want to chance it? Also, no matter how <\/em>old your system is, it cannot be as efficient and effective as possible without consistent tune-ups. When you invest in professional maintenance from our team, you can count on:<\/p>\n If you just had your furnace professionally installed this year, then it should have been inspected during installation. Therefore, no, you don\u2019t need to schedule a tune-up right now. But if you\u2019ve had your heater for over a year, then yes, you need to schedule your first maintenance session.<\/p>\n Some owners go\u00a0for three\u00a0or four years without a tune-up, only to discover a lot more expensive problems because they waited. Investing in regular, consistent maintenance minimizes the wear and tear on your system, keeping your new furnace in great condition for the years to come.<\/p>\n During maintenance, our technicians do a complete inspection of your system and during that inspection, your system may reveal a repair need you were unaware of. Addressing that repair need now means preventing a domino effect of failing parts inside your furnace or heating system.<\/p>\n This is especially true if you have a gas-powered heater. That\u2019s not to say that gas-powered systems are inherently <\/em>dangerous. But if they\u2019re not properly cared for, they certainly can become so. Gas heaters have components such as heat exchangers that can become corroded and worn down over time, leading to potentially harmful carbon monoxide leaks.<\/p>\n Even electrical heating systems can run into safety issues if not checked out by a professional on a regular basis. If you have a furnace or boiler, you should be arranging for maintenance once a year. If you have a heat pump system, this should be bumped up to twice a year since you use the system year-round.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s put it this way: consistent maintenance can help prevent up to 85% of the repair needs your furnace or heating system may ever <\/em>need in its lifespan. That means you\u2019re not spending money on repairs. In fact, what you spend on maintenance will be a lot less than you\u2019d otherwise spend on unexpected emergency repairs and potentially even premature replacement.<\/p>\n Contact AllTech Services, Inc.<\/a> today to schedule your next Arlington, VA heating<\/a> service appointment. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Will you have a heater breakdown on one of the coldest days of the year?
