Heating System & Boiler Maintenance in New Hampshire

FAQs

• Does Your Heating System Need Annual Maintenance?

  Yes! We can’t stress this enough. Every home needs its heating system inspected at least once a year, either before or after the heating season. In fact, it’s often required by your system’s manufacturer to maintain your warranty. It allows providers like Heritage to identify potential issues, make recommendations for repairs or replacement if you need it, and ensure your system is running at peak efficiency before the start of the next season. It is often said in our industry that 90% of heating issues occur during the first few hours the system is turned on after a period of unuse.

• What Heating System Problems Do We See During Maintenance?

  Winters in New Hampshire can be rough on equipment. To give you an idea of what we uncover during routine heating maintenance, here are some common issues we find:

  Gas Furnaces
  From dirty air filters and blower wheels to failed ignitors or clogged condensate drains, Heritage knows what to look for to quickly diagnose issues with gas furnaces during annual maintenance. We’ll check common issues and correct anything causing your furnace to perform less efficiently, and we’ll even perform a camera inspection to detect more serious issues, such as a cracked heat exchanger. Finally, we’ll calibrate your combustion system using a digital combustion analyzer – something many technicians don’t use during maintenance because of how expensive they are to buy and maintain.

  Boilers
  Leaking fittings, failed air elimination devices or expansion tanks, and relief valve leaks are all common issues we see with boilers. Boilers’ long life expectancies mean they can see a lot of wear and tear over the years and it requires an experienced technician to keep older systems in check. Our trained team knows what to look for and how to make repairs to keep your boiler performing the way it’s needed each winter.
