FAQs

  • How Annual Heating System Maintenance Keeps Your Home in Top Shape

    Just like any mechanical system, furnaces and boilers can wear down over time. Without an annual inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, critical components can fail without warning, leaving you cold in the winter months.

    Many manufacturer’s warranties require homeowners to have their furnace or boiler professionally maintained at least once per year. We recommend having your heating system inspected and maintenance done before or after the heating season to ensure the safety and comfort of your home.

  • Why Do I Need Annual Heating Maintenance?

    It’s important for every home to have annual heating maintenance performed to keep everything working correctly, and to extend the life of your system to the full potential. When you have your home heating system serviced by Heritage, you can expect:

    • Potential energy savings and reduced heating costs throughout the fall and winter.
    • Better heating system performance all season long.
    • Increased performance and fewer system breakdowns.
    • A more comfortable home.

Water heater maintenance . The service was explained to me and was what I expected other than I was told on the phone a camera would go in to view the inside. Marcus said that was not needed as he could see inside. He explained what he did do and said all was good right now. Very happy with today’s service.

David was excellent. He did a thorough job on our boiler upkeep. He let us know about a couple of problems that might pop up down the line, but took an educational approach rather than a sales pitch. He was a pleasure to work with and we’ll definitely continue doing business with David and Heritage in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is annual heating maintenance important for Maine homeowners?

    Annual heating maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during Maine’s cold winters, improves energy efficiency to lower heating bills, extends the lifespan of your heating system, and ensures safe operation by checking for carbon monoxide leaks and other safety concerns. A well-maintained system also performs more reliably when you need it most.

  • What does a heating maintenance visit include?

    A Heritage heating maintenance visit includes inspecting and cleaning the burner assembly, checking the heat exchanger for cracks, testing safety controls and limit switches, inspecting the flue and venting system, checking gas connections, lubricating moving parts, testing thermostat operation, and measuring system efficiency.

  • When should I schedule heating maintenance in Maine?

    Heritage recommends scheduling heating maintenance in early fall before the heating season begins. This gives our technicians time to identify and address any issues before you depend on your heating system daily. Scheduling early also helps ensure appointment availability during the busy pre-winter season.

  • Can heating maintenance reduce my energy bills?

    Yes. A properly maintained heating system operates more efficiently than a neglected one. Dirty burners, clogged filters, and worn components all force your system to work harder and use more energy. Regular maintenance keeps everything running at peak efficiency, which directly reduces your monthly heating costs.

  • Does Heritage offer a maintenance membership for Maine homeowners?

    Yes. Heritage offers a Home Advantage Membership that includes annual heating and cooling maintenance along with additional benefits such as priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and extended warranty coverage. Contact Heritage to learn more about membership options.
