Professional heating maintenance in North Las Vegas, NV is a good idea for several reasons. First, any machine is going to have parts that wear down over time.
Plus, dirt and debris buildup can coat certain components, hold in the generated heat, and hasten the breakdown. With heat pump or furnace maintenance, though, those issues get eliminated so that the system can run for a full 15 or 20 years. The exact life span will partly depend on how much use the system sees.
Besides a long life span, your system will enjoy energy-efficient performance. It will cycle for a proper 10 or 15 minutes to heat your home, whereas a malfunctioning unit will either shut down prematurely or run forever blowing out lukewarm air.
You may see a drop in your monthly utility bill, and you probably won’t be requesting as many repairs throughout the year. You’ll likely avert breakdowns, gas or refrigerant leaks, and other emergencies. Lastly, regular tune-ups can keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
North Las Vegas Heating Maintenance
Experts recommend that you get a heating tune-up every autumn, before the cooling season, and before HVAC companies get fully booked with appointments. A tune-up doesn’t take more than two hours to complete, so it won’t disrupt your schedule so much.
The tune-up begins with a visual inspection of the system, including the vents, refrigerant line, and compressor if you own a heat pump. The technician can take note of issues like loose screws, out-of-balance fan blades, and corroded wiring. Fixing or replacing parts is possible then and there, though major repairs will require a separate appointment.
The technician can also do the following:
- Replace the filter and check for air obstructions
- Clean the thermostat, calibrate it, and change its batteries
- Check the pilot light or ignition if you own a furnace
- Clean the coils if you own a heat pump
The technician will check for leaks, too. Furnace heat exchangers can crack and leak carbon monoxide, while heat pumps may start to leak refrigerant from corroded pipes. In the end, the technician will write up a report of what happened and what remains outstanding in terms of repairs.
