What Is Included In Heating Maintenance?
Heating maintenance is the best way to ensure your system will function properly all winter long. Heating maintenance is a preventative service that aims to catch underlying malfunctions, perform preventative tasks, and repair components as needed. This service includes a wide variety of routine tasks that vary depending on the type of heating system your home utilizes. Below are the components we will focus on during heating maintenance in Sylva, NC.
Air Filters
You should replace your filter every three months at the most. During maintenance, we’ll check your filter and either replace or clean it as needed. This ensures the best air quality and highest energy efficiency.
Component Lubrication
Your furnace and heat pump depend on fragile moving pieces within the motor. Your service technician lubricates all the pieces to ensure they last a long time.
Leaks
Leaks in your gas line pose a serious risk to your home, family, or business. With regular maintenance, we can catch the leak before it becomes dangerous.
Air Flow
With hindered airflow, your heater can’t deliver warm air evenly to your rooms. With preventative maintenance, you avoid uncomfortable cold spots.
Safety Controls
Your system’s safety controls include the flame sensor and carbon monoxide detectors. Your HVAC professional confirms these work correctly, allowing your family worry-free sleep.
Belts
Belts are vulnerable to drying out, cracking, fraying, and snapping. Without a belt, you’re left out in the cold. We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen.
Thermostat
A poorly functioning thermostat causes a wide variety of problems. During maintenance, we’ll tune it up and ensure it sends the correct readings to your heater.
Benefits Of Heating Maintenance
Scheduling regular heating maintenance is essential for your home comfort. The preventative service provides an array of benefits for you, your home, and heating unit such as:
Extended Lifespan
Depending on the type of heater, your system should last between 15 and 25 years. Regular system maintenance extends the life of your heating system by cutting down on wear and tear and ensuring each component is operating efficiently.
Energy Savings
Without maintenance, your furnace, boiler, or heat pump runs less efficiently. Reduced efficiency means your system works harder and causes higher utility bills, so it’s important to schedule heating maintenance to reduce costs.
Reduced Repairs
Preventative maintenance saves you money in the long run on repairs. Without a technician inspecting each component before winter begins, you will likely face the consequences of multiple heater repairs at inconvenient times. When you spend a little money now, you’ll avoid expensive repairs in the future.
Increased Safety
Your furnace uses several features to keep you healthy and prevent carbon monoxide or natural gas leaks. Maintenance verifies the system works properly so you can worry less about safety concerns.
Better Comfort
When your furnace doesn’t function at peak performance, your comfort suffers. Whether your air becomes lukewarm or stinky, maintenance prevents issues and guarantees exceptional air quality. You can enjoy the many activities winter brings with peace of mind that your heating system is working properly.
When To Schedule Heating Maintenance
While it is never too late to take care of your heating system, we suggest scheduling heating maintenance in the fall season. The fall season is recommended, because it is before your heating system is running full time. This allows a technician to properly prepare your unit before you need it most.

Repair or Replace Calculator
Calculator for the $5,000 rule
The $5,000 rule is an industry accepted rule for determining whether to repair or replace an HVAC system. Multiply the age of your equipment by its estimated repair cost. If the outcome is under $5,000, you should probably repair. If over $5,000, you should replace.
