How Often Should I Service My Heating System?
We recommend that you have your home’s heating system serviced at least once a year – usually in the fall before the winter season. Our team will service your system to ensure everything is inspected, cleaned, lubricated, and tested before the temperatures drop. It also helps you identify any minor issues early before they become major problems and more expensive to repair later on.
Between tune-ups, you can perform monthly servicing tasks on your own, including replacing the air filter per the manufacturer’s instructions. Look for signs that your system needs cleaning, such as dust particles coming from your vents, and do a quick safety check to ensure there are no leaks, loose connections, or problems with the ignitor.
What Are Common Signs That My Heater Needs Repair?
While every heater and heating system is different, some common signs may indicate you need repair. Keep these indicators in mind and contact us right away if you’re concerned about your heater.
- Unexplained increase in heating bills.
- Pilot light issues — flickering, split, or a yellow flame should be addressed immediately.
- Poor air quality.
- Frequent repairs, especially with a system that is 10 to 15 years old.
- Loud popping, banging, or squeaking noises coming from your heater.
- Inadequate heating, short cycling, or cool air coming from the vents indicate it’s time to call for a repair to troubleshoot and correct the underlying cause.
How Can I Make My Heating System More Energy-Efficient?
There are many easy ways to make sure your home’s heating system is as energy-efficient as possible. First, change the air filter regularly to help promote good airflow and reduce strain on your system. Next, have your heating system inspected and tuned up at least once a year, preferably in the fall.
If you have an old furnace or heating system, consider a full replacement to ensure that it’s running as efficiently as possible. Invest in a programmable thermostat so you can turn the system on and off based on your needs and usage to prevent wasted energy. You should also ensure that your home has good insulation, including in the attic and around all windows and doors, to reduce heat loss.
Should I Consider a Heat Pump or a Furnace for My Home?
Redlands has mostly mild winters, so a heat pump may be a better choice since they’re generally more energy-efficient and can also cool your home in the summer. In terms of operating costs, a gas furnace can cost you more, especially if you don’t have an existing gas line running to your home. Furnaces are also a bit riskier to your health and safety if they’re gas-powered since a gas leak produces carbon monoxide, which is dangerous and sometimes even deadly.
What Should I Look for in a Professional Heating Service Provider?
When choosing a professional heating service provider, there’s a lot to consider. Our certified HVAC technicians are professional and knowledgeable to ensure you get exceptional service every time. Keep these other factors in mind to find the best company for your needs.
- High customer ratings mean that the provider has exceptional customer service and satisfaction rates. AC Plus has over 3,000 5-star reviews.
- Companies that offer fair, flat-rate pricing and affordable financing options, like AC Plus, make getting service and installation on a budget easier.
- Look for a provider that has technicians with fully stocked trucks to ensure timely repairs.
- A quality provider should give you a free estimate for your furnace or heat pump replacement or installation.
- Make sure the provider offers industry-leading warranties and guarantees to protect your investment.
How Long Does a Typical Furnace or Heat Pump Last?
A typical furnace can last between 15 and 20 years. Most heat pumps last between 10 and 15 years. However, the longevity of your unit depends on several factors including usage, maintenance, and the climate in which you live.
