The Importance Of Annual Tune-Up Or Service Before Winter

Preparing for Winter with a yearly tune-up isn't just another chore. It should be at the top of your priority list.

These tips can't be overlooked when it comes to keeping your house warm and cozy, keeping your appliances running well, and ensuring your family is safe throughout Oregon's winter.



No matter how old your HVAC system is, we at Best Owner Direct HVAC recommend that you have it serviced at least once a year. Check your wiper fluid, make sure the oil is changed regularly, and check that your brakes are working properly. And before the first flakes fall, many of us have already installed snow tires and fresh wiper blades on our vehicles.

We want to ensure we can rely on our car to get us through the harsh winter weather that awaits us. You should also get your furnace or boiler regularly serviced to ensure everything is in working order during the heating season.

What does an Annual Tune-Up include?

While all service companies are unique, BOD technicians will perform the following tasks during an annual maintenance call:

• The heater, the smoke pipe, and the chimney base are thoroughly vacuumed.
• The nozzle, pump screen, and oil filter cartridge are replaced.
• Adjust and clean the electrodes and burner gun assembly.
• Inspect and oil the motors
• Perform efficiency checks and make necessary changes to ensure optimal ease, convenience, and cost savings

An annual tune-up shields your warranty

At the very least, you should have your heating system checked up once a year by a professional. Many warranties demand an annual tune-up to maintain their validity. For this reason, your system's performance and lifetime will benefit significantly from regular tune-ups.

Additionally, preseason maintenance might assist prevent a system breakdown when you need it the most. As a result, your utility bills will go down, your system will run more smoothly, and you'll breathe easier at home. You'll also improve your family's comfort and safety and extend the life of your equipment by upgrading.

An Annual Tune-Up Helps You Save Money

When it comes to energy bills and repair costs, it is more cost-effective to get a tune-up done before the heating season begins. Moreover, a complete service plan provides not just an annual tune-up but also emergency service and insurance coverage.

Low Energy Bills
Nobody wants to overpay for their home's heating. A well-functioning system consumes less energy than one that has been overworked or neglected. You may save money on your utility bills without sacrificing your standard of living.
You can save 30% on your energy bill and reduce environmental emissions if you follow the Department of Energy's recommendations for proper equipment maintenance and upgrades and suggest insulation, air sealing, and thermostat settings.

Savings on Repairs
An investment in annual tune-up can save you money in the long run by reducing the need for more expensive repairs in the future. Regular tune-ups can prevent failures and costly repairs in the middle of the season.
You don't want to deal with a malfunctioning furnace when it's cold outside. To avoid waking up to a chilly house in the middle of the night this winter, make an appointment for a tune-up in the fall

An Annual Tune-Up Improves Energy Efficiently

Your unit will run more efficiently if you conduct a thorough inspection. If your air filter isn't cleaned correctly, your unit will work harder and spend more energy than necessary. Lubrication of mechanical components improves efficiency, needing less energy to do the task. Changing or cleaning your furnace's air filter is a simple way to keep the air flowing through your home.

An Annual Heating Tune-Up Improves the Air Quality in Your Home

The air circulating through your furnace can't be clean if it is dirty!

Your home's air quality will improve if you have a heating tune-up. Dust, soot, pet dander, and sediment accumulate in your appliance over time. Preventative maintenance such as a heater tune-up is possible. Reduce air pollutants and ensure your heating system gets the airflow it needs to operate well by installing an air filter.
