Why Getting a Heating System Tune-up in July Is a Great Idea
Now that July is here, you might be thinking about summer vacations, cookouts, and days at the beach or pool. But July is also the perfect time to think about a heating system tune-up!
Getting a tune-up delivers three important benefits:
-
Your system runs more efficiently. Periodic tuning generally improves fuel efficiency by 5 percent. In many homes, the fuel savings exceed the cost of the tune-up.
-
Your heating equipment is less likely to break down. If we catch a problem early, we can often prevent a heat outage, or worse, an expensive repair.
-
Your equipment lasts longer.
Southside Fuel’s service experts can adjust your boiler or furnace once a year for optimal performance. Our annual preventive maintenance includes:
-
Cleaning, inspection, and adjustment of the ignition system, burner controls, motor, and combustion chamber
-
Lubrication of the blower motor, fan bearing, circulator motor, and the bearing assembly, when required
-
Cleaning the boiler and/or furnace, flue pipe, and chimney base, when necessary, either to improve or maintain efficiency
-
Operational check of the burner and controls for proper and efficient performance
