Acker Heating & Cooling

Your heating system suddenly failing during the winter months can be very stressful. Emergency repairs during peak season are usually costly. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to avoid having a heating emergency occur in the winter. In this post, air duct sealing expert Acker Heating & Cooling shares how you can prevent heating emergencies this winter.

Don’t try to repair the problem yourself. Heating systems contain complicated hardware that needs professional maintenance and repair. Working on heating systems, no matter how proficient you are with appliances, can be dangerous, especially if you don’t have the proper training. If something is repaired poorly, it’s likely to cost you more to get it corrected than it would have to hire a professional to begin with.

Ensure that your heating system is handled by a professional. The importance of preventative HVAC maintenance cannot be overstated. Your heating and air conditioning system requires regular maintenance.  Most individuals ignore their HVAC system until it breaks down, which can result in costly heating issues. Professional maintenance not only improves your comfort, but also improves your indoor air quality, saves you money and provides you peace of mind. We recommend getting your heating system checked once a year in the fall, but making an appointment even sooner would be better.

Don’t put off a heating system replacement. If your furnace is more than 15 years old, it’s time to replace it. An ineffective, out-of-date heating system wastes energy and is more prone to problems. You can save money in the long run by upgrading your furnace now rather than paying for a slew of repairs only to have your heater continue to run inefficiently.
