Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Maintenance
Here are answers to common questions about heating service in Lancaster County, PA. Contact us at your convenience with any more questions.
How often should I schedule heating maintenance?
Schedule preventative heating maintenance at least once a year. The best time to schedule is early in the fall, before you need to turn on your heat. Keep up with regular tune-ups. Keep an eye out for performance issues. Schedule diagnostics right away if you see warning signs. You should also schedule a duct inspection at least every few years.
What are the benefits of a furnace tune-up?
Tune-ups are especially important for fuel-fired furnaces. They help reduce the risk of carbon monoxide problems, improve efficiency, and can lower heating costs. Regular maintenance prevents common malfunctions and extends the life of a furnace.
Do you service oil and gas furnaces?
Yes, our technicians have all the licenses required to service oil and gas furnaces. That includes all licenses required by the state of Pennsylvania and Lancaster County. We offer services for hybrid heating systems. We also maintain and repair electric furnaces.
How long does a furnace maintenance appointment take?
If you schedule a furnace tune-up near me, it will take between one and two hours. That includes the inspection, cleaning, and correction of any normal wear and tear. If you need extra services, they could add an hour or two. Still, furnace maintenance will rarely take more than a couple of hours.
What are the warning signs my heating system needs maintenance soon?
Common warning signs include uneven heating from room to room, longer run times, frequent on-and-off cycling, and new noises. Higher energy bills without a clear reason can also be a clue that the system is not running efficiently and should be checked.
Why are some rooms warm while others stay cold when the heat is running?
This is often caused by airflow issues such as closed or blocked vents, dirty filters, thermostat placement, or ductwork problems like leaks or poor balance. A heating maintenance visit can help identify what is limiting airflow and improve comfort across the home.
How can I prepare for a heating maintenance appointment?
Make sure the technician can easily access the furnace, boiler, or air handler and the thermostat. Clear items away from the unit, secure pets, and note any recent problems like cold spots, strange smells, or unusual sounds so they can be checked during the visit.
What can I do between maintenance visits to keep my system running efficiently?
Change your air filter on a regular schedule, keep vents unblocked, and avoid setting the thermostat too high, then lowering it quickly. If you have HVAC accessories like a whole-home humidifier, keeping it clean can also help your system run smoothly through the heating season.
What causes short-cycling, and should I be concerned?
Short-cycling happens when the system turns on and off too quickly. It can increase wear on parts and waste energy. Common causes include restricted airflow, thermostat issues, or a system component that needs attention. If it happens often, it is worth scheduling service.
What do rattling, buzzing, or whistling noises usually mean?
Rattling can point to loose panels or vibration, buzzing may signal an electrical or motor issue, and whistling is often related to airflow restrictions. If the noise is new or getting worse, heating maintenance can help prevent a bigger repair later.
Is a dusty or burning smell normal when I turn on the heat for the first time?
A light dusty smell can be normal at the start of the season as dust burns off. If the smell is strong, lasts a long time, or you see smoke, turn the system off and have it inspected to rule out an electrical issue or overheating component.
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Many signs can indicate that a leak is hiding behind walls or under flooring. Low water pressure, running water sounds, and wet spots in your home are all signs your plumbing system is leaking.
