Probably not because the weather is still warm during these fading days of summer\u2014and we may even have some more seriously hot days ahead. But the best time to think about your heating system is when you don\u2019t immediately need it. It\u2019s easy for you to schedule service for your heater to ensure that it will run its best, and it\u2019s far better than making an emergency call in the middle of January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The service we recommend you arrange for now is regular heating maintenance. Routine HVAC maintenance is one of the most important services that we offer because it does so much to help our customers to get the most from their heating systems while spending the least.\u00a0If you&#8217;re unsure whether your system is in top shape, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaferhvac.us\/blog\/heating-service\/troubleshooting-a-furnace-that-wont-turn-on\/\">guide to troubleshooting a furnace that won\u2019t turn on<\/a> can help identify potential issues before they escalate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Why Heating Maintenance Is Important<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heating maintenance provides you with numerous benefits that save you money and protect your family\u2019s comfort:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Reduced need for repairs: <\/strong>A regularly-maintained heating system will encounter fewer repairs than one that\u2019s neglected. More than half the repairs a heater might need during its service life can be avoided with maintenance. If you\u2019re noticing issues like uneven heating, check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaferhvac.us\/blog\/heating-service\/why-wont-furnace-evenly-heat-house\/\">why your furnace may not evenly heat your house<\/a> for insights and solutions.<\/li><li><strong>Longer system life: <\/strong>Without maintenance, your heater may give out on you years early, resulting in a costly replacement. With maintenance, you\u2019ll maximize the years of comfort from your heater.<\/li><li><strong>Better energy efficiency: <\/strong>When a heater has routine maintenance, it will retain 95% of its original energy efficiency rating until the last one to two years of its service life. You won\u2019t need to pay more to run the heater than you have to.<\/li><li><strong>Warranty protection: <\/strong>The warranty for a heating system may be voided if the unit doesn\u2019t have proof of regular maintenance.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Better airflow<\/strong> indoors: Your heating system will run at full capacity each season because our technicians will be able to catch troubles with airflow, such as leaking ductwork or a damaged blower fan.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Peace of mind: <\/strong>This is the best benefit of all\u2014you won\u2019t have to worry that your heating system will fail when you need it the most. There\u2019s little chance of the heater failing if it\u2019s gotten pre-season maintenance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Fall Is the Time!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fall is the ideal time to schedule <a href=\"\/about\/maintenance-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">heating maintenance in Hillsboro, OH<\/a>: the weather isn\u2019t cold yet so you\u2019ll have enough time to arrange for the job, but it\u2019s also close enough to the change in weather that the heater will be in the best possible shape.
