Fenton Heating Maintenance

Expert Heating Services Designed to Keep You Warm and Comfortable at Home

Did You Know? Your heating system can lose anywhere from 5% to 30% of its efficiency each year if not properly maintained. Regular maintenance ensures your system runs at top performance, allowing you to save money on energy bills. Make heating maintenance a part of your annual schedule, and let the team at Martin-Jetco Heating & Air Conditioning assist you in optimizing your system's performance.

Whether your heating system operates on gas, oil, or another fuel type, it can accumulate dust, dirt, and grime during normal operation. Your system’s air filter is designed to trap some of these particles, but over time, buildup can prevent efficient circulation of fuel and air. This accumulation can decrease efficiency, forcing you to use more gas or oil to maintain your desired temperature.

What's Included in a Typical Heating Tune-Up?

It is always helpful to know what you should expect with an HVAC 21-point inspection and tune-up. While there may be slight variations in what each company includes, it's vital to look for these essential elements in any 21-point heating or HVAC maintenance check:

• Inspecting the Heat Exchanger: A crucial safety check for cracks or separations.
• Inspection of the Flue Pipe: Ensures there are no cracks or corrosion.
• Checking Calibration of Thermostat: Proper calibration ensures accurate system operation.
• Checking Drain Lines: Ensures your drain lines are clear and functioning correctly.
• Checking for Correct Gas Pressure: Essential for optimal performance.
• Inspecting Air Flow & Air Filter: Cleaning the air filter is vital for efficiency.
• Cleaning Pilot Assembly: Necessary for generating and sustaining the flame.

Signs You Need to Call In the Pros for Heating Maintenance

Being able to identify when your system needs service is crucial. Look for these warning signs:

• Areas of your home have air that feels too cool or dusty.
• Unusual smells are coming from your heating vents or furnace.
• The system hasn't been serviced in over a year.
• It has been more than two years since a full service inspection of the heat exchanger, flame sensor, and burners were cleaned.
• It's been over five years without extensive maintenance of the electrical system, gas pressure checks, or cleaning of the refrigeration coil.

Many heating system issues are not visible, making it essential to have professionals conduct inspections. Our trained technicians can identify hidden problems and recommend timely repairs to ensure your system operates smoothly.

Benefits of Regular Heating Maintenance

Why Regular Heating Maintenance Matters

Regular heating maintenance is not just a recommendation; it’s essential for a well-functioning heating system. Here are several key benefits of scheduling annual maintenance:

1. Enhanced Efficiency: Regular tune-ups can improve your system's efficiency by cleaning and optimizing its components, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.

2. Extended Equipment Life: Consistent maintenance helps identify potential issues early, preventing heating repairs and extending the lifespan of your heating equipment.

3. Improved Air Quality: A well-maintained heating system reduces the circulation of dust, allergens, and pollutants in your home, contributing to better indoor air quality for your family.

4. Safety Assurance: Regular inspections ensure that all components, including the heat exchanger and flue pipe, are functioning correctly, minimizing safety risks associated with carbon monoxide leaks or system failures.

5. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your heating system is regularly inspected and maintained provides peace of mind, especially during the cold months when you rely heavily on your system.

By prioritizing regular heating maintenance, you ensure that your home remains warm, comfortable, and safe during the colder months.

Common Heating System Issues and Solutions

Being aware of typical heating problems can help you know when to call for professional assistance. Here are some common issues and their solutions:

• Inconsistent Heating: Uneven temperatures may indicate blocked vents, a faulty thermostat, or duct issues. Ensure vents are clear and consider a professional inspection for airflow problems.

• Strange Noises: Noises like banging or clanking can signal loose parts or mechanical failures. Turn off the system and call a technician for repairs if you hear unusual sounds.

• Increased Energy Bills: A spike in heating costs might suggest inefficiencies due to a dirty filter or lack of maintenance. Schedule a maintenance check to diagnose the problem.

• Short Cycling: Frequent on-and-off cycling can indicate an oversized unit or thermostat issues. A professional can evaluate and adjust your system.

• Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells may result from burnt dust or gas leaks. If you detect strange odors, especially a rotten egg smell, turn off your system immediately and contact a professional.
