Your heater plays a critical role in keeping your Greer, SC, home comfy each winter. Keeping it in good condition not only ensures your household’s comfort. It also saves you money. When you schedule annual heater tune-ups from HVAC service experts, you spend less on repairs and extend the heater’s lifespan.
Signs of Trouble
If you’ve experienced a past heating problem, you might have thought, “Wow! That came out of nowhere.” While heating problems might surprise you, the fact is they’ve existed in a less significant form for some time. Usually, the problems begin small and gradually increase in intensity until your home’s heating system stops functioning.
Some signs you have a heating issue include:
- Pilot light or ignition problems
- Poor airflow
- Skyrocketing energy costs
- Strange sounds
- System runs nonstop
- Uneven heating
Heater Maintenance Benefits
Annual heater tune-ups done by experts inspect the system for faults and identify problems early on to avoid breakdowns and the need for emergency service. Addressing problems before they threaten the integrity of your heating system saves you money in several ways.
First, early detection and subsequent repairs lower parts and labor costs. You also spend less heating your home when the system doesn’t have to work twice as hard battling mechanical issues. If your system’s efficiency has decreased year after year, you might think you need a new heating system. But what if the problem is nothing more than a dirty heater that needs cleaning and recalibration? A heater tune-up boosts your system’s efficiency and saves you from investing needlessly into a new system prematurely.
