When Should I Schedule A Heater Tune-Up?

With all of the daily tasks you have to complete just to keep your home running smoothly, it can be really easy to kick scheduling your heater tune-up right off your to-do list. Even if you remember to sit down and make an appointment, when is the best time to have your heater maintained?

At Air Tech of Katy, we get it. Our team wants to make it as easy as possible for you to keep your heating system running flawlessly AND get back to your daily life. That’s why we’ve compiled some answers to the common questions we hear about scheduling your heater maintenance. Keep reading to learn when your heater maintenance is most effective!

Schedule Your Heater Maintenance This Fall!

The golden rule to remember is: ANY heater maintenance at all throughout the year is MUCH better than none at all. If you remember to schedule your heater tune-up in March, that’s perfectly fine with us. Our team is ready to evaluate and optimize your unit’s performance at any time.

However, there are some perks to maintaining your heater in the fall, and that’s what we recommend to most of our customers.

Prepare For Changing Temperatures

One of the main purposes of a heater tune-up is to ensure that your unit is operating efficiently and is ready to perform when you need it the most. Most Texans only use their heaters in the middle of winter, which means that the fall months before that are the prime time to get your heater ready. You never want the sudden demand for heat in your home to be the cause of unexpected heater repairs!

Technician Availability

When you need us, we show up — BUT, our technicians receive an influx of AC calls during the summer and spring. By scheduling your heater maintenance in the fall, you can avoid any waits for your appointment and count on a service time that works with your schedule.

Leave Time For Repairs!

If our specialists identify any looming repairs in your heater during the tune-up, we’ll recommend the right repair to fix the problem. In many cases, same-day repairs are possible.

In the event that a part needs to be ordered to restore your heater’s function — or if it will be more cost-effective to invest in a new system altogether — you’ll want those extra weeks or months in the fall. We’ll be sure to get your heater up and running as soon as possible before that first Texas cold front hits!

Lower Your Energy Bills

During the winter, our heater usage can rise dramatically — especially if we get a hard freeze! Running an inefficient heater can push that energy bill up to ridiculous levels ro make you use your heater sparingly. After a thorough heater tune-up, you’ll feel more confident than ever that using your heater isn’t sucking up your energy all day. Don’t feel bad about being comfortable this winter! Just prepare your system the best you can for high-efficiency heating.
