We’ve had some insane heat lately but the temperatures are going to start cooling off again soon. And when they do, we all know how fast and far they can drop, sometimes even overnight. While you probably aren’t even wanting to think about your heater at the moment, we’d say now could be one of the best times to get a tune-up for this system.
Maintenance for any system made for heating in Portland, OR is an essential service to have performed each year. Whether you use a heat pump or a furnace, a tune-up can allow you to get the best performance out of your system.
But why book your appointment today? We’ll explain this and all of the benefits of yearly maintenance here.
How Yearly Maintenance Helps
First things first, let’s talk about why maintenance is worth it.
1. Improves your system’s energy efficiency
Regular yearly maintenance helps improve your heater’s energy efficiency. This can help to prevent a loss of up to 5% of your system’s efficiency. In contrast, skipping a tune-up allows that efficiency level to drop each year, leading to increased heating costs.
2. Reduces the need for system repairs
Repairs are inevitable, but that doesn’t mean that they should be frequent or overly expensive. Thankfully, with regular maintenance each year you can keep the frequency and price of your repair needs to a minimum. In fact, this service can prevent up to 85% of the possible issues that your system could encounter throughout its lifespan.
3. Reduces the chances of safety hazards
Unfortunately, a heater that is allowed to run each year without any maintenance is going to end up being more likely to become a safety hazard. This is especially true of any gas-powered heater. Our team can provide the tune-ups needed to keep your heater operating both effectively and safely.
4. Yearly maintenance keeps your warranty intact
If your system was installed by a professional team like ours, it should be backed up by a warranty that helps to keep repairs and upkeep manageable. The thing is, most manufacturer warranties actually require professional maintenance. Skipping this service can run the risk of voiding that warranty.
