We know winters are pretty brief here in Texas, but if you&#8217;ve lived here for a year then you know our weather can absolutely surprise us, and for that reason, we all need fully functional and efficient heating systems in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What kind of shape is your heater in? Not sure of the answer to that question? Well, then it&#8217;s definitely time to schedule one very important service&#8211;heating maintenance! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsure if you <em>really <\/em>need this service or if it&#8217;s going to benefit you all that much? Read on as we uncover the benefits of this service, and then give us a call when you&#8217;re ready to schedule a tune-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Maintenance Is So Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on as we uncover the details of why annual maintenance for your furnace or heating system is so important! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>It reduces the need for repairs. <\/strong>How does this work? Well one of the steps we take during your maintenance tune-up is that we comprehensively inspect the system. During this step, we look for signs of natural wear and tear. There are things that <em>will <\/em>wear down in your heating system, like motor bearings and fan belts for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you get them repaired sooner rather than later, you don&#8217;t have to worry about those small needs turning into much bigger problems. Replacing a worn motor bearing or relubricating it is a lot easier and less costly than replacing an entire motor because it burnt out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. It keeps your home safe. <\/strong>No, your furnace is not inherently dangerous. However, if you do have a gas-powered furnace that&#8217;s not well taken care of, it can <em>become <\/em>dangerous. Gas-powered heaters have a component called a heat exchanger that, if not maintained, can crack and leak out potentially harmful amounts of carbon monoxide gas (CO). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. It improves heating system efficiency. <\/strong>When you&#8217;re good about scheduling heating maintenance each year, it will counteract the typical loss of energy efficiency that your heater otherwise experiences throughout the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For every year you skip heating maintenance, your equipment loses about 5% of its original efficiency rating. Alternatively, a heater that is tuned up annually will retain up to 95% of its original efficiency rating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. It keeps your energy bills down. <\/strong>When a heater is working efficiently, it means that it isn&#8217;t draining as much power as it would if it were ill-maintained. Therefore, you&#8217;re literally using less energy, which is going to bring your utility bills down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s only natural that when you use your HVAC systems&#8211;which account for half of all energy use in a home&#8211;your bills are going to rise. But they shouldn&#8217;t be drastically different than what you paid this same time last year, on average, nor should they be drastically different than what your neighbors are paying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>To get in touch with a reliable <a href=\"\/service-areas\/piney-point-village-tx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HVAC contractor in Piney Point Village, TX<\/a>, contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cool Care Heating and Air Conditioning<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heating maintenance will help you avoid problems this winter, no matter how brief it might be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[101,113],"class_list":["post-669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-hvac-contractor","tag-piney-point-village"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":674,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669\/revisions\/674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolcareac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
