Dirty heating systems operate at lower energy efficiency because dust and grime get in the way of any moving parts. Depending on the type of heating system, when they are particularly dirty, there is also a risk of catching fire.

This threat of fire is just one reason why heating tune ups are essential in Austin. Clean systems are safe and operate more efficiently, saving you money on your monthly utility bills.

Our HVAC professionals will inspect every inch of your furnace, heat pump, or other heating system for cracks, signs of wear and tear, and other indicators of developing problems.

Without a visual inspection, important parts and components of your system are at risk of failure.

Replacing parts can quickly become very expensive, but if the component is vital to the heater’s operation, the entire system may need to be replaced.

Beyond making sure everything is clean and looks correct, our HVAC technicians will test each part of your heater during your heating tune up to ensure it’s functioning properly.

This includes testing pilot lights and igniters, calibrating thermostats and testing thermostat controls, and checking that air pressure and airflow are at the correct levels.

Moving parts of heating systems require regular lubrication. If they dry out, they can cause serious and potentially costly damage to the entire setup. This lubrication process helps avoid breakdowns and the need for expensive replacements.

If you’re not sure when the last time the moving parts (blowers, motors, etc.) were lubricated, we recommend scheduling a heating tune up right away.
