Every winter, your heating system gets a serious workout — and this season’s low temperatures have been no exception! In the same way your car needs an oil change and tire rotation every 6,000 miles or so, your home’s heating system needs an annual tune-up each spring to keep it in top-notch working condition.
So, why is an annual springtime heating system tune-up so important?
Improved Energy Efficiency
A faltering, inefficient heating system requires more energy consumption to keep your home warm during the winter. Ensuring the working condition of your home’s heating system during an annual tune-up helps to prevent unnecessary energy and fuel usage. In fact, your system’s tune-up can reduce its annual energy consumption by as much as 10%!
Prevent Minor Issues
During your annual tune-up, minor issues that arose over the winter can be detected and promptly addressed to prevent them from developing into larger, costly, and more complicated issues down the road.
Detect Equipment Issues
Through an annual tune-up, addressing those minor issues before they become a real problem significantly lowers the chance of a complete system breakdown during the next winter — ensuring you and your family aren’t left in the cold!
Increased Equipment Lifespan
Lastly, regularly maintaining your heating system through its annual tune-up significantly slows the wear and tear of its components, maximizing its lifespan so it can keep your home warm and comfortable for years to come.
