Getting a Fall Heating System Tune Up Can Save You Money & Energy

Most people take their car for a tune up each year so they know it’s operating both effectively and efficiently. They know getting annual maintenance helps their vehicle perform better and last longer. At the same time, people often neglect the heating system in their home. Much like a vehicle, your heating system is a complicated piece of machinery with a lot of moving parts, and as such, it’s important to have it checked out by a qualified technician. According to ENERGY STAR, maintaining your equipment helps prevent future issues with your system – and unwanted costs. They suggest getting a fall heating system tune up every year.

ENERGY STAR explains what your fall heating system tune up should entail. Your technician will check your thermostat settings. They’ll tighten electrical connections and lubricate all the moving parts of your heating system. Your technician will check and inspect your condensate drain (if you own a furnace or heat pump) and will check the controls of your system to ensure that it’s operating properly and safely. Finally, they’ll check all gas or oil connections, gas pressure, burner combustion and heat exchanger. It’s vital for your health and safety that your connections are operating properly, as faulty connections can pose a fire hazard.

What can you do yourself to make sure your heating system is properly maintained? Inspection, cleaning or changing the air filters in your furnace or heat pump once a month during months of operation is a simple task you can accomplish yourself. If you’re unsure of how to do it, your technician can show you how. You might be surprised at the damage a dirty filter can cause, but it can cause increased energy usage (which translates into higher utility bills) and can damage your heating system, leading to early failure.
