Regular System Cleaning

One of the most important steps in maintaining your heating system is regular cleaning. Dust and debris often accumulate in your system, creating a potential fire hazard and reducing your system’s overall efficiency. Make cleaning a biannual task in your calendar. Vacuum out your vents, the area round your heating system and replace the air filters. However, be careful while doing so, as some sections are delicate.

Check the Thermostat

A frequent issue found in heating systems is a non-functioning thermostat. Generally, this can be diagnosed by observing the temperature of your home. If you feel like the heating is not in sync with the temperature set on the thermostat, you may have a thermostat issue. Some issues are as simple as changing batteries while others may require help from experts.

Inspection and Timely Repairs

Regular inspections can help catch issues before they become more serious. Look for signs such as irregular noises, a sudden increase in energy bills, or your system not heating as it used to. In such cases, it may be time to call for a heating system repair. Hader Solutions excels at diagnosing and treating issues timely.

Heating System Replacement

As your heating system grows old, its efficiency declines. Poor efficiency results in higher energy consumption. By staying on top of how well your system works and comparing it to newer models on the market, you can make a sound decision about when to replace it. It’s always better to be proactive about replacements than waiting for a total breakdown. Hader Heating & Cooling has got you covered for comprehensive heating solutions.
