Neglecting Your Annual Maintenance
It may as well be our first HVAC tenet—you simply can’t forget about inspecting and maintaining your heater. Routine maintenance ensures that your heater remains as functional and efficient as it should be all year round—and especially during a blizzard!
Regularly Replace Old and Dirty Filters
By frequently and regularly turning on your heater, you’ll eventually accumulate dust and debris in your unit’s filter. Do yourself a favor and keep an eye on this filter the more that you use heat in your home.
Malfunctioning Thermostat
Your best friend or your worst enemy, the programmable thermostat can spell doom for you or preserve the equilibrium of your living spaces. When we’re inspecting or preparing for a heating installation near South Jersey, our specialists do not walk out of a home until they know the thermostat is calibrated correctly.
