Winter comes and your heating bills are on the rise. You may find the furnace has to run for what seems like an age to put any comfort in the house, and you are left to question if a tune-up would be of any consequence.
Good questions to have before the cold sets in here in North Carolina. Since 1979 we at Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing have been putting the heating systems of homeowners in the Triad, Triangle and Cape Fear to work efficiently. Call (888) 339-8668 and we will be happy to help you cut back on energy costs this season; we are as reliable as they come.
Why Efficiency Wanes
A heating system is no different from anything else that is put to hard use: it will lose its edge if not tended to. Dust accumulates, there is wear on the parts and minor issues can fester into something more expensive. If the furnace or heat pump has to contend with clogged burners, loose connections or filters in poor shape, it will draw more power and burn more fuel for the same output. The bill reflects that.
Our technicians can put an end to such gradual deterioration with a fall tune-up, getting your system to perform as the manufacturer would have it.
The Effect on Your Bottom Line
We go over every part of the system that has a bearing on energy consumption. In the course of a tune up you can expect:
- Filters cleaned or put in so the system is not under strain and air is unimpeded
- Loose electrical connections made tight
- A look at the burners and heat exchangers to ensure complete, clean burning of fuel
- Thermostat testing to see the system heats only to the set point
- Moving parts lubricated against friction
- Airflow and refrigerant measured on heat pumps
All these things taken together mean a system that is running clean and tight will take less energy for your comfort, and you will see it in your pocket come billing time.
Then There is the North Carolina Climate
You do not get brutal winters in North Carolina but they are a matter of chance. Some weeks the heat is on full tilt, others you hardly put a hand to the thermostat. Such a regime takes its toll.
In our service area heat pumps are the norm and they are efficient enough if one keeps after them. Yet a heat pump left to its own devices will make too much of its backup electric heat strips which are costly. With a tune-up in the fall you can be sure the system is using its primary mode. As for a gas or oil furnace, clean combustion gets you more heat for the fuel you put in.
Avoiding the Unpleasantness of a Breakdown
There is nothing like a cold night to bring out the worst in a heating system, and the costliest problems have a way of appearing then. An emergency repair adds to your regular outlay and is no fun.
An inspection in the fall will reveal a part that is on its way out. It is cheaper to put in a new component when you plan to than to make an emergency call down the road. Should the need arise though, we are open 24/7. We would rather you did not have to call us.
Make it Part of Your Year
If you want to keep your heating bills down, maintenance should be a habit and not an afterthought. Get your tune-up in before the season gets underway and the system will be in fine form for years to come.
We have a Shield Membership Plan for those who prefer not to have to remember to put in a booking; it gives you priority service and covers the regular tune-ups. Inquire about it on the phone.
