Heater Repairs and Maintenance in Rumford, RI

Most people know how important it is to change the oil in their cars, but many people do not realize how vital it is to take the same care of their heating and air conditioning systems. They purchase a new home that already has an HVAC system without following up with the maintenance, even when there is a checklist on the unit. Many people do not schedule heater repairs and maintenance in Rumford, RI when buying a new HVAC system.

Why Is Heater Maintenance So Important?

These are just the six most important reasons you should schedule regular maintenance for your heater:

1. During the scheduled maintenance, your certified technician will inspect your system thoroughly, looking over the system and its parts. This gives us a chance to fix a small problem before it turns into a big problem.


2. Your system will last longer if you keep up with the recommended maintenance schedule.


3. If you have a warranty, you will need to be able to prove that you are taking proper care of your system, which includes routine maintenance. Otherwise, the manufacturer may not honor the warranty.


4. Your technician will check your filters and replace them when necessary. These filters are important for keeping the air inside your home clean and healthy. Your technician will also be able to take note if there are concerns about how quickly your filters become dirty.


5. Once you get used to keeping up with maintenance, you will discover that your home's temperature feels more comfortable. The temperature will be more consistent and may not need to run as much.


6. Because it is more efficient, your properly maintained heater will save you money by using less energy.

Your Heating System

When something goes wrong with your heating system, the problem may be big or small. Your system is made up of several parts that work together to provide comfort in your home.

The Main Unit

The unit itself is the most important part of your system and the part that creates heat. A furnace can last 15-20 years, and a heat pump can last about 16 years. This part of your system may also be the most expensive if you need to repair or replace it.

Heat Exchanger

Your heat exchanger transfers heat from one medium to another.

Air Filter

You can experience problems if your air filter becomes dirty or clogged or if you are using the wrong air filter. When you are experiencing problems with your heater, this is one thing you can check yourself. If you have any questions about which air filter you need, we can help you to get the correct one.
