5 Signs You Need a Heating Contractor

It’s understandable that many homeowners want to fix things themselves; however, some repairs should be left to the professionals. Here are five scenarios when you need to call a reputable heating system service company.

Unusual Sounds: If your heating system makes strange noises like “banging, whistling, or clanking,” it could have a mechanical issue or component failure.

Inadequate Heating: Sometimes, your “heater” can’t deliver the desired temperature, no matter how much you adjust the thermostat. Call a technician to inspect your heating system if you notice cold spots in the house or are uncomfortable.

Frequent Cycling: If your heating system turns on and off repeatedly, it could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat, a clogged filter, or a more complex issue. A certified contractor can diagnose the problem and fix it.

Rising Energy Bills: An unexpected increase in your heating bills despite normal usage suggests the heating system is not performing optimally. Several factors, such as equipment age or a lack of maintenance, could contribute to this rising cost.

Age: Depending on the heating system in your condominium or apartment, your equipment may carry an expected lifespan of 10-15 years or 20-30 years. Suppose your heating system is 15-20 years old, and you haven’t stayed on top of annual tune-ups or a structured preventative maintenance program. In that case, you should have a pro check it out.

Why Heating System Maintenance Is So Important

Most people wouldn’t question taking their car to a mechanic every 3,000-5,000 miles for an oil change, tire rotation, and a once-over to ensure it remains roadworthy for the long haul.

You’d be surprised, though, how many people balk at hiring a heating contractor for annual heating system maintenance. Here’s why it’s so important.

Maintain Energy Efficiency: A well-maintained heating system helps it run efficiently throughout its life, keeping operating costs low and more money in your pocket.

Longer Lifespan: Routine maintenance is crucial to extending your heating system’s lifespan to the maximum. Replacing worn-out parts and tuning up the internal components helps avoid issues that could escalate and cause premature failure. Imagine operating the same system for 10 years beyond its typical life expectancy through a consistent and inexpensive preventative maintenance program with a qualified HVAC contractor.

Improved Air Quality: If you have people living with you who suffer from allergies or respiratory issues, keeping the indoor air as clean as possible is essential. One of the best ways to do that is to have your heating system professionally cleaned and inspected regularly. Your contractor should also be able to provide options for additional air purification and humidity control if those are particular causes of concern.

Warranty Protection: Most new heating systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty. However, there’s typically something in the paperwork you may not even be aware of that requires some type of professional routine maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Unfortunately, another deal breaker for manufacturer’s warranties can be if the actual installation of the system did not meet a very specific installation procedure established by that manufacturer. Each manufacturer and type of heating system is unique in this approach, and your installation contractor field teams should be well-versed in each manufacturer’s requirements.
