Did you know that The Energy Markets Division projects that the average Northern homeowner will spend almost $850 on the heating bill from October 2017 to March 2018?
If your home uses oil or propane, you’re looking at an average of more than $2,200.
When you’re paying that to heat your home and keep your family comfortable, shouldn’t the HVAC system be in tip-top shape?
Conversely, if it’s not, you could be spending more money than the average. On top of wasted cash, your family can't find warm relief in your home during the harsh winter months.
To ensure that you’re not wasting money on inefficient home heating or keeping your family cold, check out Warner Service’s timeline to how often your home heating should be inspected by a professional:
Monthly: Change the air filter monthly to prevent seasonal allergens and pathogens from creating poor indoor air quality in your home.
3 months: Seasons typically last about three months, but with recent environmental factors, they tend to be more sporadic, especially in Maryland. The heating professionals at Warner Service suggest calling us every three months for a thorough HVAC maintenance visit.
We’ll take a look at air ducts, boilers, carbon monoxide detectors, electronic air cleaners, furnaces, High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) systems, humidifiers, programmable and wireless thermostats, radiators, ventilators, and more.
This ensures that your home HVAC system optimally and efficiently handles the next season before it shows up.
5 to 10 years:
10 to 20 years:
25 to 35 years:
Lifetime: As long as no punctures, cuts, wet stains, or burns exist, insulation lasts a lifetime – though it’s important to perform HVAC maintenance on it with the change of each season.
