How Can Annual Heating Maintenance Lower Your Winter Energy Bills?

Many people make the mistake of only getting work done on their heating system when there’s a problem, but you should be getting heating maintenance at least once a year here in Harrisburg, PA, not only to protect your family in the winter but also to lower your energy bills.

How Annual Heating Maintenance Can Lower Your Harrisburg, PA Heating Bill

Optimizing the System

It’s just natural for dirt and dust to build up in the system over time, and this constantly erodes the efficiency of any machine, forcing it to work harder to do the same job. The harder it has to work, the more of your money your heating system spends to get your house at the temperature you want it to be. At your maintenance service, our tech will carefully clean out the system so that it’s always running at peak efficiency.

Reducing Energy Use

A properly maintained system uses less energy not just because it’s cleaned out but also because it’s properly calibrated. When every connection has been checked and tightened and your thermostat has been tested and calibrated, you’ll use less energy to get the same effect. Our techs can also make sure you’re not throwing energy away in any part of the system with leaks.

Other Ways You’ll Save

Avoid a Big Repair Bill

Avoid the Winter Rush

Because so many people put off maintenance, cross their fingers, and hope for the best, our lines are always busy and our techs are always booked during Harrisburg’s chilly winters. Charges are higher during this busy time, especially when we have to come out outside of normal business hours. You can avoid these costs by getting maintenance before the winter begins.

Maintain Your Warranty

If a system does break down catastrophically when it has been maintained, then the issue is almost always a defect that’s covered by the warranty. But these warranties only stay valid as long as you do the proper maintenance on the machines. Getting regular maintenance could make the difference between having to pay for an entire replacement system out-of-pocket and having that system replaced for you by the manufacturer because of a warranty issue.

Boost Your Home’s Resale Value

Savvy homebuyers know to look at the heating and cooling systems before they buy. If a system has been maintained well, and especially when you can provide a record of those maintenance services, you’re not only attracting buyers but can command the highest price. If the system hasn’t been taken care of well, there’s a good chance you’re going to have to knock down your asking price to get a buyer to bite.
