How Often Should I Schedule Heating Maintenance?

Heating systems may need maintenance occasionally, but there’s no one-size-fits-all schedule for heating systems. At the least, you should schedule an annual tune-up to ensure your system is ready for regular winter use.

Extra maintenance visits may be good for homeowners with heating units that are five to 10 years old. If you notice your energy bills on the rise, a burning smell, or slow heating, it may be a good time to call for heating maintenance.
