Heating System Maintenance

The best way to keep your heating system operating efficiently and properly is with routine maintenance. By making sure that your system is inspected at least once a year, you can extend its lifespan, reduce your utility costs and avoid unnecessary repair bills by catching problems early.

Each heating system has specific maintenance requirements that are recommended by the manufacturer, including basic tasks like:

  • Changing the air filter
  • Cleaning the air handler
  • Measuring airflow at return and supply ducts
  • Adjusting or replacing fan belts
  • Lubricating motor bearings and pulleys
  • Inspecting electrical and safety systems
  • Cleaning the burners and inspecting the heat exchanger and flue on boilers or furnaces
  • Cleaning the coils and checking the refrigerant levels
  • Testing the thermostat and adjusting its settings

During a maintenance visit, our team at BVSM Heating & Air Conditioning will complete a thorough inspection of your heating system, noting any problems, followed by the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance routine. We will make sure that your system is in prime operating condition, protecting its warranty and guaranteeing your comfort.

Heating System Repair

Even the highest quality heating systems with stellar maintenance records will eventually fail due to simple wear and tear. Consumable parts like belts will break, bearings will fall victim to friction and electrical contacts will burn or corrode.

Some common signs that your heating system is due for repair include:

  • Higher energy costs
  • Reduced heat output
  • Frequent power cycling
  • Strange noises or smells
  • Yellow instead of blue burner flames
  • Alarms from carbon monoxide detectors

Regardless of the cause, our team at BVSM Heating & Air Conditioning can quickly diagnose your heating system, recommend the best repair options and perform the repairs as authorized. We also offer emergency repairs for system problems that happen outside of regular business hours.

Heating System Installation and Replacement

Once your heating system nears the end of its useful life and is no longer cost-effective to operate or repair, the best option will be replacement. By installing a new heating system, you will eliminate the extra repair costs and problems that are inherent in an older system, while enjoying significantly improved energy efficiency and the latest in comfort technology.

At BVSM Heating & Air Conditioning our team can install or replace any type of heating system, including furnaces, boilers, heat pumps and dual-fuel systems. We work quickly and efficiently, and we will work even harder to make sure you are satisfied with your new heating system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a heat pump and furnace?

While both types of appliances provide your home with reliable, efficient heating, a heat pump pulls double duty, also helping to cool your home in the summer. A traditional furnace generates heat by burning oil or gas and then distributes it to your home through your duct system. Rather than generating it, a heat pump uses a combination of electricity and refrigerant to extract heat from the air outside (even when it’s cold), before transferring it to your indoor living space.

What is the best heater for my home?

A furnace is a great choice for those who have access to natural gas, or have recently installed a new cooling system. A heat pump is a good option in homes that have no natural gas line, or those who are ready to replace both their heating and cooling systems. Because a heat pump operates most efficiently in climates where temperatures rarely fall below 40 degrees, in an area like Beaver County, homeowners who opt to install one may benefit from a supplemental source of heat during cold winter evenings.

How do I extend the life of my furnace?

The average lifespan of a furnace is between 12 and 15 years, but with regular maintenance and filter changes, they can last even longer. Tips include:

  • Schedule annual routine maintenance each fall before you turn the furnace on to detect any potential issues before they can cause further damage.
  • Change the filter every four to six weeks during peak heating season to keep system components clean and reduce wear and tear on parts.
  • Increase system efficiency by sealing air leaks around windows and doors.
  • Seal and insulate air ducts to prevent dirt and debris from entering, and conditioned air from escaping.
  • Install a programmable thermostat and set it between five and ten degrees lower for times you are asleep or away from home. This can help extend the lifespan of your furnace by preventing unnecessary heating and saving on the cost of energy.

Why is HVAC maintenance important?

Annual preventive maintenance each spring and fall helps your HVAC equipment operate at peak performance year round. A trained technician will inspect, clean, and tune your equipment, and then diagnose and repair small issues before they become large, costly repairs. HVAC maintenance helps to prevent mid-season breakdowns, prolong the lifespan of your equipment, and keep your family safe and comfortable. When your HVAC system is operating efficiently, you spend less money to heat and cool your home and you can breathe easier with improved indoor air quality.

How long does a boiler last?

Because they have fewer components than a traditional furnace or heat pump, a professionally installed and maintained boiler can last upwards of 20 years. There are a number of factors that can decrease the life expectancy of your boiler, including corrosion and inadequate maintenance techniques. If your boiler is over 10 years old and there is visible corrosion or water leakage, or you find yourself spending a fortune on repairs, consider replacing it with a newer, more energy efficient model.
