The Importance of Regular Heating Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key to a healthy and efficient heating system. Skipping annual tune-ups can lead to reduced performance, higher energy bills, and unexpected breakdowns precisely when you need your heater most. In McKinney's climate, proactive service ensures your system is prepared for the demands of the heating season.

The benefits of scheduling routine Heating Service include:

  • Improved Energy Efficiency: A clean and well-tuned system operates more effectively, using less energy to heat your space.
  • Extended System Lifespan: Preventative care reduces wear and tear on components, helping your furnace or heat pump last longer.
  • Enhanced Safety: Technicians check for potential safety hazards like gas leaks or carbon monoxide issues.
  • Increased Reliability: Regular inspections catch minor issues before they turn into costly, inconvenient breakdowns.
  • Better Indoor Air Quality: Cleaning components helps reduce the circulation of dust and allergens.

What Our Heating Service Includes

Our comprehensive heating service goes beyond a quick check. A Burnside technician will perform a thorough inspection and tune-up designed to optimize your system's performance and safety. While the specifics may vary slightly between furnaces and heat pumps, a typical service visit includes:

  • Thermostat function check
  • Air filter inspection and replacement
  • Inspection of system components such as burner, heat exchanger, fan motor for furnaces; compressor, coils, refrigerant for heat pumps
  • Cleaning of key parts to remove dust and debris
  • Lubrication of moving parts
  • Checking electrical connections and voltage
  • Safety control testing (limit switch, flame sensor, etc.)
  • Checking for proper airflow and temperature rise
  • Pilot light check (for furnaces)
  • Refrigerant level check (for heat pumps)
  • Checking for proper ignition and combustion
  • Carbon monoxide testing (where applicable)

Our goal is to identify any potential issues early, ensure your system is operating safely, and maximize its efficiency for the season ahead.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
