What You Can Expect from Heating Maintenance

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

Now that it’s October, we strongly recommend you arrange for a heating maintenance visit from one of our professionals as soon as you can. As November closes in, you can expect HVAC professionals to get busy, so now is an excellent time to take advantage of a slower period and have this vital job ticked off your “to-do” list. Seasonal maintenance helps identify repairs or efficiency adjustments before the heating season, ensuring your system is ready for the colder months. When choosing a technician, ensure they are certified by organizations like North American Technician Excellence (NATE), which indicates a high level of training and expertise. Certified technicians use specialized tools to inspect and maintain heating systems.

Our business is committed to providing reliable HVAC services and ensuring our customers receive the highest level of satisfaction with every visit. Proper licenses and insurance, including liability and workers’ compensation insurance, are required for HVAC contractors in Louisiana, and we ensure compliance with these standards to provide you with peace of mind.

We’ve already discussed why heating maintenance is so important in a recent post. Now we’re going to take a close look at what you can expect when one of our experts comes to your home for the service. We’ll use a gas furnace for our example, since this is the most common type of heating system in the area. Radiant heating systems, while not as common, provide comfortable and efficient heating without losing heat through ducts. However, they come with a higher initial installation cost and do not provide air conditioning. After maintenance, our technicians can walk you through the operation of your heating system to ensure you understand how to use it efficiently and safely. The process is different for other types of heaters, but you can expect our technicians to know exactly what to do.

That being said, why are you noticing rust in your heater? This is actually not an immediate cause for concern, but it’s still an issue that you should keep your eye on.

However, a better approach is to sign up for a service contract, such as the Proactive Service Agreement that we offer.
