It\u2019s time to start planning ahead for fall and winter with heating maintenance. September is a good time to arrange an inspection and tune-up for your home\u2019s heating system, since that gives you plenty of time to beat out the cold weather and schedule any repairs the heater may need.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>But is heating maintenance really that important?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s that important! It\u2019s critical if you want your heater to perform dependably and provide you with as many years as possible of energy-saving performance. Below are only a few of the troubles that can strike if you don\u2019t have annual maintenance for your residential heating system:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Higher utility bills: <\/strong>Each year that a heater misses its inspection and tune-up, it will lose on average 5% of its energy efficiency. In only a few years, you could be paying 25% more to heat your home than you should.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequent repairs:<\/strong> More than 80% of the repairs that a heating system may require during its lifetime can be stopped with routine maintenance. If you do need reliable <a href=\"\/heating\/furnace-repair-maintenance\">furnace repair in Springfield, VA<\/a>, call Oasis for 24\/7 support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Early replacement:<\/strong> Without the care of regular tune-ups and cleanings that are an important part of maintenance, a heating system will age rapidly. You might need to replace your heater many years before it\u2019s time\u2014and that\u2019s as expensive a \u201crepair\u201d as a system might need.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety problems:<\/strong> This is primarily a concern with gas-powered heaters, such as furnaces and boilers. Without professional inspections, there\u2019s a risk of a natural gas system becoming unsafe due to carbon monoxide leaks. Keeping up with heating maintenance means keeping your family both safe and warm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To <a href=\"\/heating\/heat-pump-repair-maintenance\">arrange for your heating maintenance<\/a> in Springfield, VA, call Oasis Heating, A\/C &amp; Refrigeration.
