Best Time of Year for Heating Maintenance

You can schedule heating maintenance at any time in the year, but to get the most efficient use out of your system, consider scheduling it at the start of the heating season. We recommend calling us at the start of fall to get on the schedule. This will ensure you have comfortable and efficient heat all season long and help you miss the big rush at the start of the winter.

What Happens During an Heating Maintenance Visit?

Annual maintenance is a vital part of protecting your heater. It ensures optimal function and reduces the risk of breakdowns. Here’s what you can expect us to check or clean when we come to your home for this appointment:

GAS

• Burners and flame sensor: The flame sensor acts as a safety device that monitors the burner flame. We will check the burners and the flame sensor to ensure that they are in good working order.
• Heat Exchanger: We will inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or punctures that could leak dangerous gases. We will also check the CO detector during this appointment.
• Blower fan and inducer motor: The blower fan is responsible for circulating heated air, while the inducer motor moves combustion gases to be vented. We will check both components to make sure your unit is ready to keep you safe and warm throughout the season.
• Electrical Connections: We will check and tighten the electrical connections if needed. This step will optimize the function of your system and eliminate unnecessary breakdowns.
• Thermostat: Many problems with the heater are problems with the thermostat. We’ll help ensure it’s working properly and communicating as it should with the system.
• Air filter: Our technicians will check the air filter during this appointment. We will clean the existing filter or replace it with a customer supplied filter as needed. Remember, you can replace the filter yourself every one to three months to keep your system running efficiently.
• Cleaning: During this appointment, we will perform a surface cleaning including wiping the unit down, ensuring it is ready to deliver reliable heating throughout the cold winter months.

OIL

• Oil filter and gasket: The filter and gasket play an important role in keeping the oil free of debris and lubricating the system, preventing premature wear and tear. We will change the filter and gasket to keep your system working efficiently.
• Pump screen and nozzle: We will replace the screen and nozzle to ensure that your system will burn oil efficiently throughout the season. 
• Heat Exchanger: The heat exchanger will be inspected for cracks or punctures that could cause hazardous gas leaks. We will also check the CO detector during this appointment.
• Combustion test: During this visit, the combustion process will be analyzed to ensure safe operation and optimal performance all winter long.
