Heater Maintenance

We’re all aware that failing to have the proper maintenance done on your vehicle has the potential to leave you in a less-than-ideal situation. Skip a few too many tune-ups and before you know it, you’ll have your vehicle failing you just when you need it most. The heater in your home is no different.

Just like a vehicle, seasonal heater maintenance is not only suggested, it’s required if you want to be sure that your heater is working to the best of its ability for years with as few issues as possible along the way.

Fortunately, if you are looking for a heating tune-up in Buda, then the professionals here at E+M Emergency Air Conditioning are here to provide you with the most comprehensive heater maintenance in the business. Regardless of the equipment you’re using — furnace, heat pump or anything in between — our comprehensively trained technicians are equipped to provide your equipment with the service it needs to keep going for as long as possible.

Stay Informed About The Condition Of Your Equipment

Additionally, regular maintenance will also give you an annual run-down on the overall condition of your system. This information can be invaluable in planning and making sure that you’re never caught off guard dealing with an unexpected major heating issue.

Improved Saftey

While generally safe, most furnaces are gas-powered and can’t escape the inherent dangers associated with gas as a fuel source. Annual tune-ups will ensure that your system is running in the safest manner possible.

Improved Air Quality

Especially if you include duct cleaning every three to five years which is recommended, staying on top of your maintenance will help make sure that your HVAC system isn’t negatively contributing to the indoor air quality of your home.

How Often & When Does My Heater Need A Tune-Up?

We recommend that you have your heater maintained by a qualified technician at least once a year. Doing so will give your heater the best chance of lasting the 15-20 years that the average, well-maintained unit does.

Additionally, depending on the brand and model of your heater, sometimes its yearly maintenance is a requirement to maintain the manufacturer warranty. Here are some of the tasks our technicians perform during a tune-up:

• Inspect air filters
• Inspect systems operations
• Inspect refrigerant levels
• Inspect thermostat operation
• Check the condensate drain line
• Assess all electrical components
• Inspect moving mechanical parts and motors
• Inspect ductwork and plenums for unsanitary bio-growth
• Give recommendations for optimal efficiency and longevity
• and more!

When Is The Best Time?

Most experts recommend that you schedule your annual heater tune-up during the spring or fall. This is generally the period where temperatures are warming and heaters are being retired until the next cold season — or directly before the cooler weather ramps up. This will allow your technician to note any damage that occurred during the previous winter and ensure that it’s ready for the next time it’s needed.
