Homeowner Vs. Professional Heating Maintenance
There are steps that you complete as a homeowner to care for your heater, and the rest is up to our team of professionals. You can do things like:
- Changing out the air filter when it’s dirty
- Cleaning the condensate drain line
- Wiping down the inside cabinet
- Paying attention to signs of problems
Any other maintenance tasks should be left to a professional with the proper credentials. We can clean deeper inside of your system and make tweaks that help improve both operation and efficiency. Other steps we take include:
- Checking the heat exchanger
- Testing electrical connections
- Cleaning the burners or heating elements
- Checking the burner flame color
- Cleaning the blower motor and fan blades
- Testing the flame sensor
- Lubricating parts
- Sealing air leaks
- Tightening screws and bolts
- Testing gas pressure
- Calibrating the thermostat
Our goal is to inspect your heater from top to bottom, inside and out. There may be a variety of other tasks we complete in addition to the ones listed above. We don’t just check off items on a list and move on. We treat your home like we would our own. We take our time, pay attention to the details, and get the job done right the first time.
Benefits of Professional Maintenance
Investing in professional service consistently each year greatly increases your chances of:
- Maintaining strong efficiency
- Improving air quality
- Boosting overall comfort
- Extending the expected lifespan
- Enhancing reliability
- Elevating safety
You may be tempted to skip out on the service if your heater is running great and not showing any signs of problems. This is exactly when maintenance is important. Loud, obvious problems don’t appear overnight as if from thin air. Instead, they start small and grow steadily with each passing day that they go unaddressed.
Professional maintenance is a chance for our team of experts to check every nook and cranny of your heater. We can clean out gears and bearings, relubricate intricate parts, test belts, and identify any early signs of problems. This way we can fix things before they’re major enough to impact how your heater operates.
This benefits system longevity since problems don’t have a chance to leave behind unnecessary wear and tear. When one small thing goes wrong, other components inside your heater may begin to work harder, adding strain to those additional parts.
At Gideon Heating & Air Conditioning, we like to say that our work isn’t just good—it’s Gideon Guaranteed! Contact us today to schedule your professional maintenance appointment.
