Why Heating Systems Need Annual Maintenance

When you own a home, maintenance is often a fact of life to keep your home safe and attractive and stay on top of small issues before they develop into costly big ones. It’s no different for your heating system. Whether you have an oil gas fuels system, a boiler, or a furnace, each heating system has different components and things to maintain to keep it working as efficiently as possible. By making sure routine annual maintenance is performed, you can extend the lifetime of your heating system and avoid having to replace it well before you should.

Heating System Issues We Find During Maintenance

Here’s an idea of just a few of the common issues we find during maintenance:

  • Oil Systems: Dirty air filters, a dirty blower wheel, weak blower capacitors, a cracked ignitor, clogged condensate drain, failing or cracked heat exchanger, high static pressure, combustion system calibrations, and more.
  • Boilers: Leaking fittings, failed air elimination devices, a failed expansion tank, relief valve leaking, and more.
  • Furnaces: Sooted systems, worn down electrodes, a clogged oil nozzle, a clogged oil pump strainer, a dirty cad cell eye, and more.

While not exhaustive, this gives you some idea of what can develop in any heating system over time.. Some are big. Some are small, but every issue adds up to ultimately negatively impact the performance of your heating system. Let us guide you through the maintenance process, so you understand why each component is essential and why Heritage coming out once a year is important for your home’s heating system.
