Heating Maintenance

As the Mojave continues to give way to cooler days in Redlands, CA, thoughts turn to the warmth and comfort of our homes. The desert’s stark beauty in winter is a reminder of nature’s simplicity and the need for our living spaces to embody that same tranquil reliability. 

At AC Plus Heating & Cooling, we’re gearing up to ensure your home remains a cozy oasis. Our focus is not just on the immediate but on the enduring peace of mind that comes from a well-maintained heating system as you enjoy the seasons change year over year, perhaps watching the sunset from the Mojave Narrows Regional Park or strolling through the bustling streets downtown. 

Preparing Your Sanctuary for the Cold 

As you savor the calm that precedes the winter rush, it’s crucial to consider the heart of your home’s comfort: the heating system. A professional inspection of your heating unit isn’t merely a precaution; it’s a proactive strategy to secure the warmth of your home. Such inspections delve into the system’s intricacies, identifying any wear or potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs during the colder months.

At AC Plus Heating & Cooling, we believe in a thorough approach—examining each element of your heating system, from the pilot light’s blue flame to the heat exchanger’s integrity, ensuring every component is in top shape. This care not only safeguards your comfort but also optimizes your system’s efficiency, contributing to both a reduced carbon footprint and the longevity of your heating unit. 

Ensuring Peak Heating Performance in Redlands, CA’s Winters 

As the winds shift in Redlands, CA, bringing the chill from the High Desert, a reliable heating system is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. But beyond comfort, there’s an environmental imperative to keep your heating unit in prime condition. At AC Plus Heating & Cooling, we specialize in transforming the necessity of warmth into an opportunity for environmental stewardship. 

A well-maintained heating unit isn’t just a source of warmth. It’s a statement of your commitment to energy conservation and responsible living. The benefits of regular heating inspections and maintenance are twofold: ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency and minimizing its impact on the environment. 

Here are the crucial steps and their benefits: 

  • Heating Inspections 
  • Filter Replacements 
  • System Calibration 
  • Ductwork Checks 
  • Regular Maintenance Scheduling 

Heating Inspections: Ensuring Winter Readiness 

As you nestle into the comfort of your Redlands, CA home, consider the role of a professional heating inspection. This crucial evaluation, performed by experts like us at AC Plus Heating & Cooling, goes beyond a surface check. Our technicians scrutinize your system to verify that every component is in optimal condition, from the furnace flame sensor to the safety switches. 

This attention to detail can prevent the inconvenience of breakdowns during cold snaps, ensuring your heating system functions smoothly when you need it most. Benefits include heightened efficiency, which leads to lower utility costs and a reduced environmental impact, as well as the assurance that your home will remain a cozy haven throughout the winter months. 

Filter Replacements: The Clear Path to Efficiency 

In the pursuit of maintaining a pristine environment inside your home, filter replacements stand out as a simple yet impactful measure. 

Over time, filters accumulate dust and debris, obstructing airflow and forcing your heating system to work harder. This not only compromises your comfort but also strains your system. Regular filter changes, a service we provide with care at AC Plus Heating & Cooling, ensure clean air circulation, which is essential for both efficient system operation and your family’s respiratory health. With a clean filter, your heating unit can perform at its peak, providing warmth more effectively and economically while also contributing to the longevity of the system. 

System Calibration: Precision in Comfort Control 

Calibration of your heating system is akin to fine-tuning an instrument—it’s about perfecting the operation for harmonious performance. When AC Plus Heating & Cooling calibrates your system, we’re adjusting it to respond accurately to your thermostat’s commands, ensuring you get just the right amount of heat. 

This precision avoids the energy waste associated with overheating and the discomfort of underheating. Properly calibrated, your system distributes heat more evenly and runs only when necessary, which can extend the life of your furnace and trim your energy bills. This meticulous process, often overlooked, is vital for efficient home heating, providing you with a comfortable, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious living space. 

Ductwork Checks: Sealing in Efficiency 

Ductwork is the circulatory system of your heating unit, and just like veins and arteries, it needs to be unobstructed to function effectively. During our inspections at AC Plus Heating & Cooling, we examine your ducts for leaks and blockages that can compromise heating efficiency. 

Sealing leaks and insulating ducts prevent heat loss, ensuring that every bit of warmth is delivered to your living areas in Redlands, CA. The benefits of well-maintained ductwork extend beyond comfort. They include improved air quality and reduced strain on your heating system, preventing costly repairs and saving energy—a proactive step toward a greener, more sustainable home. 

Regular Maintenance Scheduling: The Keystone of Heating Efficiency 

Regular maintenance scheduling is the cornerstone of a heating system’s longevity and reliability. In Redlands, CA, where the desert climate brings a unique set of challenges, AC Plus Heating & Cooling knows the value of a well-timed tune-up. By adhering to a scheduled maintenance plan, you ensure that your heating unit is examined and optimized before it’s put to the test by winter’s demands. 

This foresight can lead to discovering inefficiencies that, if left unchecked, could spiral into larger issues. Regular maintenance keeps your system running smoothly, reduces the risk of emergency breakdowns, and maintains heating efficiency, which means your home stays warm while using less energy—an approach that’s as friendly to your wallet as it is to the environment. 

Embrace Winter with Assurance 

The assurance of a winter spent in comfort begins with the steps taken before the cold sets in. By scheduling a heating inspection with AC Plus Heating & Cooling, you’re choosing to prioritize both your comfort and your heating system’s health. 

Don’t let Redlands, CA’s chill catch you unprepared. Contact us today, and embrace winter, knowing your home will be the warm retreat you deserve.

What can I say? AMAZING! My son and daughter n laws house smelled of fire when the heater was turned on..so what do you do Google heater service near me. I called three other companies and two no phone calls back and one couldn't come out until three days our. Googled again and came across AC PLUS Heating &Air I gave them a call and the lady who answered the phone was so friendly and professional and had them out to the house that afternoon. They were very professional and did a thorough check of vents and system. It is an older house and we've had many companies come out through the past few years and what would I say now..maybe patched the dam! Let me tell you AC Plus is a top notch place. I met Brandon very professional and thorough took pictures and videos of the failing heating and air systems and all of the other items. This was EXCELLENT work they had covered all the floors and rechecked everything after replacing the two systems. Let me tell you what a pleasure it has been to work with them! They will be our go to company for any future problems. VERY HONEST!

I am always pleased with the service provided by AC Plus. My heating system was inspected and serviced by Shane H. Today.

Shane did an awesome job. He has excellent customer service skills. He was very polite and courteous. I have been a customer of AC Plus for almost 10 years and I’m pleased to be doing business with them.

I called them to come out for a quote. The woman on the phone was nice and pleasant. They came out that same week and emailed me a quote the same day. I approved the job and they called me the next day to schedule the replacement of my swamp cooler. The guys that came out were great, with great communication throughout. Unfortunately the switch was also bad. They ordered it and let me know they would call me and schedule as soon as part is received. Literally later that day i was called and scheduled for them to come out the same week which was only a couple days later. I was very happy with their response time and that they communicated with me the whole way. They also called 30-45 minutes ahead to let you know they were on their way. I will definitely recommend and use this company again.

My air conditioner stopped blowing air through the vents. I knew I had to find an HVAC repair guy fast and I was worried about having some stranger with his hands on my equipment. I did a web search and found AC Plus Heating and Air with many hundreds of 5 star reviews on Google.Omar Amore came to my house and diagnosed and fixed the problem in 20 minutes and it cost me much less than expected. After he performed the work, he spent another 15 minutes with me educating me about the proper maintenance of my air conditioner. He quoted me some pricing on a couple action items to do next spring to keep my unit in good working order.Omar struck me as honest and thoughtful. I will use this company again for all my heating and air needs.
