Much like your car, your heater needs to be inspected and tuned up by a qualified professional on a regular basis. Without professional maintenance, your system is likely to experience frequent repairs, premature system failure, and a number of other problems.

Still not convinced? Consider the consequences of a lack of maintenance below:

• Reduces energy efficiency: Without maintenance, certain components of a heater become dirty, clogged, loose, or broken. This puts a lot of strain on the system and makes it much more difficult for it to function properly, which means it will have to run for longer periods of time in an effort to warm your home. Longer running times mean significantly higher levels of energy consumption.
• Costs you a lot of money: An unmaintained heater is not energy efficient, which means you can count on high utility bills each month. Additionally, a lack of maintenance often results in frequent, costly repairs.
• Results in an uncomfortable home: An unmaintained heater is not able to maintain peak performance, which means you will likely experience no heat, weak airflow, uneven heating, or other problems with your system that result in an uncomfortable home.
• Reduces your system’s lifespan: The leading cause of premature heater failure is a lack of maintenance. In fact, a completely unmaintained heater can be expected to last half as long as a well-maintained system.

Routine maintenance improves your energy efficiency, satisfies your manufacturer’s warranty, improves your indoor air quality, reduces the risk of repairs, and keeps your heater running better for longer. Turn to Steve’s Plumbing & AC Service to schedule heater maintenance in Maui.

To maximize the benefits of heater maintenance, experts recommend scheduling annual appointments. Additionally, it is best to schedule your maintenance service in the fall to ensure your system is prepared to keep your home warm and cozy all winter long.

Of course, if your system starts acting up, schedule a service right away. Give us a call if you experience:

• A lot of dust in your home
• Excessive humidity
• Uneven or weak airflow
• Loud noises
• Short cycling

In addition to annual maintenance, there are numerous things you can do to take care of your heater. We recommend taking care of your system in between your maintenance appointments to make sure it stays in good shape.

Below are tips for taking good care of your heater in between maintenance appointments:

• Replace the air filter when it gets dirty (every 1-3 months)
• Open all air registers in your home
• Move anything blocking your air registers (curtains, cabinets, etc.)
• Inspect the pilot light frequently
• Keep the area surrounding your furnace free of debris
