Let\u2019s face it. \u201cFlorida\u201d and \u201ccold\u201d are rarely words we see used in the same sentence. It\u2019s true, our winters are relatively mild when you compare them to what the rest of the country experiences. Still though, when our temperatures drop, the drastic difference is <\/em>enough to make us feel chilly. While 60\u00b0F is \u201cnice\u201d to those who live in the Midwest, it\u2019s downright arctic to us! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, maybe that\u2019s a little <\/em>dramatic. But the point is, we need fully functional and efficiently operating heating systems in our homes to stay comfortable in the wintertime. But how can you ensure that yours is fully functional and is operating as well as it can? Well, with maintenance! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, yes, heater maintenance is worth it. But don\u2019t just take\nour word for it and stop reading here! Continue on as we uncover why you should\ncall for heater maintenance today if you haven\u2019t done so in a year or longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Advantages of Routine Heating Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We typically recommend that customers have their heaters\nmaintained every fall, before they need the system the most. But consistency is\nactually more important than timing. So long as your furnace is maintained each\nyear (or if you have a heat pump, twice a year) you should be able to keep your\nheater in relatively great shape, and you\u2019ll achieve the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly true if you have a gas-powered heater. That\u2019s not to say that gas-powered appliances are inherently dangerous. They aren\u2019t. However, if yours is not well cared for, it could become <\/em>dangerous. This is because it has components like heat exchangers, which can become damaged over the years and therefore allow combustion gasses to leak out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the most dangerous of these combustion gasses is carbon monoxide (CO). There will always be a little CO in the environment, but in concentrated amounts, and in your home, it has the potential to become deadly, if at least not making you ill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased System Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Without routine maintenance sessions, the energy efficiency\nof your heating system will start declining. This will cost you a lot of extra\nmoney you weren\u2019t planning on spending, on energy bills and the like.\nMaintenance keeps your heater running at peak operation. In fact, maintenance\ncan help your heater avoid up to 85% of the repairs it may ever need in its\nlifespan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fewer Repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember how we said that maintenance can help you avoid up\nto 85% of the repairs your heater may ever need in its lifespan? It\u2019s true!\nThis is because our technicians are able to detect small <\/em>repair needs and alert you to them right away so you can get\nthem managed before they turn into much bigger emergency repair needs, or even\na system breakdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of that service life\u2026 when a heater needs less\nrepairs, it tends to mean it experienced less wear and tear over the years, and\nthat <\/em>means it will last its intended\nlifespan. A heater that is mostly ignored throughout the years may last 7-9\nyears while one that is properly cared for could give you 10-15 years of useful\nservice life! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
