Heater Maintenance Checklist

Getting maintenance performed on your heating system regularly is the best thing you can do for your HVAC unit as a whole. A tune-up not only helps performance, but also saves you money in the long run, and extends the life of your heater.

Why Is Maintenance Important?

Heater maintenance is essential for checking all of the components of your system. This allows your technician to make adjustments, clean the unit, test for issues, and lubricate parts as needed.
