FAQ's - Heating
How often should I have my heating system cleaned?
At the very least, your heating system should be checked out
and cleaned once a year. Keeping the system clean is the
name of the game. As the components get dirty the efficiency
of the system plummets, your energy bill climbs and your
comfort level drops. Regular annual service also can extend
equipment life and can help to prevent mechanical
breakdowns.
Would there be any reason to have a cleaning more than
once a year?
That would depend on owner preference, but we would
recommend more frequent cleanings if any of the following
conditions exist:
1. Smokers in the home
2. Pets that shed high amounts of fur/dander
3. Water contamination
4. Residents with allergies/asthma
4. Renovations/remodeling
No heat or hot water, what do I do?
First we recommend checking your fuel source. Have you run
out of fuel? If you have fuel, check the emergency ON/OFF
switch. Sometimes this switch gets turned off accidently.
Are all the circuit breakers/fuses working? If you have
checked and have eliminated these obvious causes, then we
recommend that you call for a service technician.
Why can’t I read my digital thermostat?
Some people are unaware that digital thermostats have
batteries in them. A low battery can affect your thermostat
readings. It can be costly to have a service technician
determine the problem and simply change the battery.
