What Is Preventative Heating Maintenance?

Preventative heating maintenance is intended to preserve the safe, energy-efficient operation of your gas furnace, boiler, heat pump, or ductless system. Most heating system manufacturers recommend annual service, and most require professional heating maintenance to preserve warranty coverage.

Preventative maintenance varies depending on your heating system. As a general rule, it will involve thoroughly inspecting and lubricating components, tightening components, and confirming all systems are performing as intended.

When necessary, it will also involve replacing worn-out parts before they cause a malfunction.

The Benefits of Preventative Heating Maintenance

There are plenty of reasons to stay current on your heating maintenance, including:

Safety: Regular maintenance helps protect against gas leaks, electric shocks, and other faults that can cause toxic exposures, fires, and other hazards.
Energy efficiency: A well-maintained heating system will deliver superior energy efficiency, reducing your carbon footprint and monthly utility bills.
Reliability: A properly maintained heating system is significantly less likely to malfunction or suffer premature system failure.

Heating Maintenance Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my heating systems undergo maintenance?

We recommend annual system check and service appointments every fall, before the heating season begins. If you use your heat pump or mini-split to both heat and cool your home, it’s best to schedule two appointments (one in the spring and one in the fall).

What maintenance can I perform on my heating system?

In addition to annual system checks and maintenance, there are plenty of steps you can take to keep your system in good repair. Regularly cleaning the cabinet, inspecting components, and changing your air filters are simple and easy tasks to complete.

Should I replace a faltering heating system?

All heating systems will eventually malfunction and fail. Most HVAC systems should be replaced every 10 to 12 years. If you have an older system whose performance isn’t improved after maintenance, it may be time to replace it with a new, energy-efficient model.

Our HVAC technicians can thoroughly assess your system’s condition and help determine whether further maintenance, repair, or replacement is best.
