Heater Maintenance

Illinois gets cold in the winter, so it’s crucial that all your heating systems are in pristine condition to prepare for the cold days ahead. Many homeowners overlook heater maintenance but it’s the key to avoiding emergency services in the winter.

A-Perfect Climate, Inc. offers heater maintenance for all your heating systems from furnaces to water heaters. Call us today to begin scheduling annual maintenance.

Heater Maintenance for Every System

A-Perfect Climate, Inc. proudly offers reliable maintenance services for every type of heating system in your home. Schedule an annual inspection and tune-up every year to ensure you have a well-functioning system ready for winter.

Furnaces

We offer maintenance for electric and gas-powered furnaces. During annual tune-ups, we’ll ensure the gas line and pilot light are in good condition, check electrical components, and look for corrosion, cracks, or other signs of damage or wear and tear.

Boilers

Boilers heat water for showers and sinks and also supply warm air via steam created from boiling water. We’ll inspect the unit for damage to ensure this energy-saving unit runs at maximum efficiency for continued ideal performance.

Heat Pumps

Annual maintenance for heat pumps are crucial since they function as the heating and cooling unit for HVAC systems. For the best results, biannual tune-ups allow careful care for the heating and cooling portions before their respective busy seasons pop up.

Tune up the heat pump in late summer or early fall to prepare for the upcoming winter. We’ll ensure all parts are in good shape and efficient so you’ll have a toasty home on cool nights.

Dual Fuel Systems

Some heat pumps use a backup furnace to ensure you don’t lose heat in the winter. If you have one of these dual-fuel systems, we’ll provide maintenance for both the heat pump and the furnace to ensure everything is in pristine condition.

Benefits of Regular Tune-Ups

Many homeowners prefer to avoid scheduling annual maintenance to save money. Though it appears to make sense on paper, tuning up your heating units each year will save you money over time by keeping them in great condition.

Annual maintenance will help you:

• Save money: Maintained units don’t have as much wear and tear or broken parts and they work more efficiently. You’ll spend less on bills and repairs over time, so while you do pay for maintenance every year, it’s far less than what you’d pay for energy and HVAC technicians.
• Keep systems longer: Heating units typically last 10-20 years. If you keep up with maintenance, they’ll last closer to 20 years and you’ll save money by not replacing them as often.
• Reduce repair frequency: Technicians will be able to spot weakening parts as they inspect your units. They can repair or replace them, saving you the cost of calling them back out in a few months.
• Increase energy efficiency: Heating units are only as efficient as their parts allow them to be. With properly functioning pieces, you can heat your home with less energy and save money.

Signs You Need Heater Maintenance

There are a few telling signs that you need to invest in heating maintenance for your furnace, boiler, or heat pump.

Your Heating System Is Old

You should always have maintenance scheduled from the day you get your new heating system, but if yours is aging, it’s more important than ever. If your system is nearing its last leg, maintenance will help it hang on a little longer.

It Doesn’t Heat Like It Used To

If your boiler or water heater doesn’t make water as hot as it should or you often run out, it’s time for maintenance and possibly repairs. The same goes for furnaces and heat pumps if you notice your home taking longer to heat up.

It Won’t Turn On or Short Cycles

You need heater maintenance if your units won’t turn on or they turn off and on too frequently. Short cycling is often an electrical problem or a sign that something is malfunctioning.

It Always Needs Repairs

If it seems like you’re calling a technician to your home every other month, you need annual maintenance. Technicians can spot problems before they pop up, allowing you to prevent spending money on multiple HVAC service calls.
