Annual Maintenance

By

For a long lasting, energy efficient heating system, annual maintenance is a must.

Every year you get an inspection for your vehicle to make sure that everything is running as it should so small issues don't become big problems.  Every so many miles you get a oil change, tire rotation, and have the air pressure checked in your tires. This is to ensure that your car stays at a peck level of operation, the same goes for a long lasting, energy efficient heating system.

 Annual maintenance, annual tune-up, or any of the other names that all mean having your heating system looked at is the easiest way to ensure that your heating system is running properly and will continue to run.  These type of service allows for a trained technician to thoroughly look over all of the components in your heating system, especially the burner.

 The burner is where the fuel that is used to heat your home is compressed into a fine mist that is then burned and transferred into heat for your home. The nozzle that is used to compress your fuel into a mist is the size of a thumbnail and can become clogged over time. As part of the maintenance the burner and all of its pieces are cleaned, keeping your system running at the highest level without having to work harder than it should.

 In some cases annual maintenance is required to keep your heating system under warranty, this is not the case with all heating systems. Make sure when you have a new heating system installed you find out what has to be done to keep the system under warranty.
