A question I get asked by my customer is what is included in comprehensive heating maintenance.
I have been an HVAC professional for a couple of years, and there are seasons when I get that question numerous times.
During spring and fall, many homeowners will tend to schedule tune-ups for their heating devices, and so they ask about the processes involved in the tune-up process. Since most heating businesses charge about the same for maintaining an electric heater, many customers ask this question to know if they can omit a process to reduce the charges. In essence, the process depends on the heating equipment. For electric heating systems, the process is shorter than its gas counterparts. When it comes to gas systems, the HVAC servicemen also have to change the HEPA filters to promote airflow and indoor air quality. Electric heat pumps don’t have vents or piping, so the cost comes in when we order new parts from the HVAC supplier. Like in many machines, parts of a heater tend to wear out, so we need to regularly replace these parts to promote the unit’s optimal function of the unit. In the tune-up process of any device, we always examine the wireless thermostat to ensure it works well. As a heating technician, I often recommend that my customers check whether the regulator is promptly communicating with the system and whether it is responsive whenever you need to change the temperature. A good regulator will help you save much money on your energy bill. The tune-up process is also part of the energy-saving tips list. When the system functions optimally, it does not need to use up a lot of energy.
