Heating Maintenance Checklist

During the winter season, heating units are important to the comfort and happiness of the whole family. Having a broken heater can be a huge financial burden. Performing a few maintenance tips can help you keep a properly functioning heating system.

Air Filters

One of the easiest maintenance tips is changing the air filter on a regular basis.  A Clogged air filter will not allow airflow, which can damage the heater. This can cause major problems with your heating unit so completing this simple step could save you a lot of money in the end!

Landscaping

Keeping your heating unit free of any outside debris is very important. Whether you choose to hire a landscaping service or complete the work on your own, it is vital to remember that all debris needs to be at least 3 feet away from the unit.

Cleaning

Cleaning the unit on a regular basis and ensuring that it is free from dirt and debris will allow the unit to work properly and efficiently for a longer period. Removing any furniture, drapes, or other objects that block the unit can prevent a potential fire hazard and ensure that the unit will continue to function properly and efficiently.

 Inspections
