Texas, – What’s the risk of running your heat at the start of winter without a complete checkup of your heating system? Mike of SoBellas says you’ve got several factors that could be in play.
“You don’t know if it’s going to work, for one thing,” Mike said. “Just because it’s been sitting idle for several months doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Parts may have shifted, connections may have loosened, valves may get stuck shut and dirt and dust have accumulated. Any of these could affect your system’s ability to operate.”
If your system does fire up at the flip of the switch, another factor to consider is whether it’s operating safely. “An undetected carbon monoxide leak is one of the most serious risks of an unmaintained heating system,” Mike said.
Furnace maintenance is also important for preserving household energy dollars, Mike added. “Operational efficiency affects energy efficiency in a big way. If there’s friction among the components, and your system has to work harder to perform, your energy bills go higher.”
Mike said SoBellas encourages homeowners to have their systems prepped for the long winter. “This is one of the most important things you can do to help avoid breakdowns this winter. At SoBellas, this prep means that we tune up and clean the systems so they’ll be ready to do their job. If we see any repairs in the works, we can take care of them before they get worse. That can save you from an untimely emergency call later on.”
