Are Heating Tune-Ups Necessary?

The NATE-certified technicians at New River Heating & Air deal with all sorts of heating systems in and around Radford, VA. Over the years, we've worked with furnaces and heat pumps from the day they were installed until they were replaced. If we have one recommendation for all homeowners, it is to have an annual heating system tune-up. The long-term benefits of annual maintenance greatly outweigh the short-term costs of the service appointment.

Improved Efficiency

If you are not regularly maintaining your system, it is not working at its highest possible efficiency. The heat and vibration of regular operation take away some of the unit’s initial power. When our technicians look at your system, they can make the small adjustments that will improve its performance. They will remove any accumulated dust and lubricate moving parts. They will also return any settings to their ideal state. You will burn less fuel, saving money on your utility bill.

Longer Life

Every year, we replace systems that died too early. With an annual tune-up, most heating systems will have several extra years of usable life. A heating system is a serious investment in your home. The longer your system is working, the better your return on that investment.
