Time for a Pre-season Heating Tune-up!

Voted San Diego’s Best Heating & Air Company in 2016, Bill Howe knows the importance of quality products and regular maintenance on your HVAC systems. And, the most important thing you can do to care for your system is scheduling regular maintenance.

By having your system routinely tuned up and inspected, you can save money on costly repairs and have peace of mind that when it cools down, your heating in San Diego will be working at its optimal level. Just like your vehicle, fine tuning your heating system will help to find issues causing the system to run inefficiently, or repairs needed. If you are current on maintenance, it will also lessen the need for repairs over time versus systems that are not inspected.

What will a Bill Howe Heating tech in San Diego perform during your routine maintenance?

The first item on a tune up/inspection checklist is a safety inspection. A professional HVAC expert will ensure that your furnace is not emitting unsafe carbon monoxide levels. They will also recommend installing C02 detector if you do not already have one.

They will then perform temperature checks that will tell them if the system is heating efficiently before and after the heat exchanger.

Airflow is one of the most important aspects to consider when talking about your heating system. If airflow is blocked, it causes the system to work harder. If left unchecked, it could cause your system to stop working over time. Our Bill Howe Heating experts will clean your filter, or replace it for free during every tune up service.

The technician will then perform several checks including:

• Electrical draw
• Operating pressure
• Fan motor functioning
• Venting

The technician will also put your system through a fully operational and safety cycle. They will make sure your burners are clean and working properly, and safely, and help walk you through any questions about how your system operates.

We’re lucky that we don’t need heating in San Diego for a long time during the winter months, but there are a few months each year when heat is a blessing. By scheduling an inspection and tune up before it cools down, you don’t have to wonder if the furnace will work when you need it. You can also be sure that a month before the heating season begins, you will have a great chance of getting a specialist to your door same day. During peak seasons, many HVAC companies book up quickly, and often scheduling can be delayed by days if not weeks.

Routine maintenance will save you time, money and allow you to relax and know that when you need it most, you will have comfort for you and your family.  It is also important to maintain your full system warranties.
