The last thing that anyone wants during a cold winter is to have a malfunctioning heating system. Not only do you have to spend loads of money to repair the components, but you also have to go through a period of time without any heat. Your home or office space can become unbearably cold. That’s why we’re going to take a look at how often you should have your heating system inspected and what the benefits of having it inspected are going to be. Let’s get to it:
It seems there’s some confusion among people as to how often they should have a heating system tune-up. However, the consensus from HVAC experts is that you should have your heating system inspected once per year. Having this done once per year will help your system last longer, saves you money on your monthly energy bill, and decreases risks to your health.
One of the most significant problems of not having your heating system maintained on a regular basis is that it might just stop running on a cold winter day without notice. In fact, some HVAC experts believe that around 75% of the calls that they receive about a heating system not working is from not having them inspected on a regular basis.
Besides, you may be unknowingly putting your health at risk if you aren’t having your heating system inspected on a regular basis. When a technician comes out to your home, they’re able to identify problems like carbon monoxide leaks. Carbon monoxide can lead to headaches, nausea, and even death if the problem goes undetected for too long.
Also, your system may not be running as efficiently as it could be if a technician were to locate problem areas. Inefficient heating systems tend to use more energy, which then causes you to spend more money on your monthly energy bill
An average heating system inspection shouldn’t break the bank. If you have a company out to do an inspection and a tune-up (also known as a cleaning), you’ll likely pay anywhere from $60 to $85.
There are several things that your technician should do in one of these tune-ups:
It’s important that you clarify what exactly the technician is going to provide for the price that you pay before you have them do the work. Feel free to call Beaufort Air Conditioning for a free quote.
There are steps that you can take after you have a technician service your heating system to secure its efficiency for the rest of the year. Here are three very practical steps:
Your heating system is one of the most complex systems found in your home, so it’s important that you hire someone with the right qualifications and experience for the job. Don’t just look for the cheapest option.
Most states have licensing requirements for HVAC professionals, so check your state website to see what credentials you should look for when hiring a technician. If you’re having trouble finding the requirements, you can check with the National Contractor License Service to find each state’s license licensing requirements. You can also check with your local licensing agency, and you should always ask for references
To keep your heating system up and running well, it’s important that you have a tune-up done every single year by a qualified HVAC professional. It will help your system last longer, save you money on your energy bill, and protect you if you need to file for a warranty with your company.
However, it’s important that you do your research beforehand to ensure that you hire a reliable HVAC technician with all of the relevant qualifications.
