Identifying problems before they turn into more serious issues
Lack of maintenance can ultimately lead to a total and sudden breakdown, which will more than likely cost you more than any maintenance plan would have done. Identifying minor issues before they become major ones will save money, stress and potential downtime. A small crack or leak that is allowed to go unnoticed, or worn or misaligned parts not tended to, can put stress on other components of a system, which, in time, can cause several components to break down simultaneously. This can result in a period of downtime while waiting for repairs to be completed, or for spare parts to arrive. In the worst case, the only option might be to replace the entire system do to the general failure of your system.
Lowering utility bills by optimizing performance
As a heating system is used over time, it will generally become less energy efficient, and can ultimately lead to sudden surges in energy use. Regular maintenance can counter this, and at the same time extend the lifetime of your heating system. Also, monitoring energy use can be helpful in tracking the energy requirements of the system over time. Any time a substantial increase in energy usage is detected, one should address the issue.
A qualified technician can provide general information on which settings to use in which conditions, in order for the system to run as economically as possible. In addition, the technician can provide guidance as to how long your current system is likely to last, as well as offering information about which system might best suit your needs when the time comes to replace the system you currently have.
