When to Call for Emergency Furnace Repair
Many problems can cause your furnace to act strangely, and sometimes, it’s difficult to tell when you should call for emergency repair or when it’s safe to wait to schedule an appointment during regular business hours.
Here are a few things to consider before calling for emergency help.
How Cold Is It?
Furnace failure can strike at any time; however, if your house is well-insulated, you may be able to live comfortably for a few days, especially if the temperature outside is on the warm side. If, however, the temperatures are below freezing, it’s best to call for heater repair as soon as possible.
How Long Will You Have To Wait?
Another factor determining whether to call for emergency help or wait to schedule an appointment is how long you’ll have to wait for help to arrive. For example, if your furnace breaks down overnight or early in the morning, you can typically get by with scheduling an appointment. However, if the problem occurs at the beginning of a weekend or holiday, and you’re looking at days without heat, call for emergency heating repair.
Err on the Side of Caution
Lastly, if you’re unsure what to do or just don’t feel comfortable waiting to book an appointment, it’s best to err on the side of caution and call for help immediately.
Central Heating is always ready to help with emergency heating repair. We have a live operator in the office answering the phone 24/7.
5 Benefits of Regular Furnace Maintenance
Barrie homeowners know there’s no end to household chores and maintenance tasks they need to perform. Unfortunately, some duties get neglected or pushed down to the bottom of the to-do list and never get done.
However, it’s crucial you set a reminder to perform regular heater maintenance for these reasons:
Heating Maintenance Improves Comfort
To maximize your heater’s performance to ensure it provides you with the most comfortable home during the harsh winter months.
Heating Maintenance Improves Air Quality
As your furnace or heater ages, it collects dust mites, debris, germs, and sometimes mold. Imagine these contaminants spreading throughout your home every time you run your heater. With routine furnace maintenance, the professional technician cleans the system to ensure you’re getting the cleanest indoor air possible.
Heating Maintenance Saves Money
When you fail to perform routine furnace maintenance, your system can lose efficiency over time, which means it uses more energy to do its job. More energy usage means higher energy bills, so maintaining efficiency helps keep your energy expenses in line.
Heating Maintenance Reduces Costly Repairs
Running your heater during winter takes its toll on the internal parts. With regular maintenance, your technician will spot minor problems and fix them before they balloon into something that brings the entire system down, which can cost thousands to repair.
Heating Maintenance Extends Your Heater’s Lifespan
Replacing a furnace or HVAC system is expensive and inconvenient. And while no heater will last forever, keeping your heater well-tuned and maintained will easily outlast heaters that aren’t maintained.
