Residential Heating Preventative Maintenance

It's that time of year again. You know, the time of year where the temperature drops just enough to perfect conditions to leave your windows opens or to have a picnic by the Potomac. We all love Fall and the lovely temperatures that go along with it, but once things chill up a bit, will your home be prepared for comfortable heating? Now is the time to ensure that your first time starting up your heating system will go off without a hitch!

Seasonal maintenance of your heating system is imperative. Whether you use a boiler, heat pump or furnace, the idle time of non-usage during the spring and summer months could mean the potential for problems when you need it the most. A Fall Preventative Maintenance Inspection or tune-up can eliminate the headache of no heat and most importantly, save your family money.

When a Kramer & Sons technician comes out to your home, he will conduct a thorough inspection of system components, prior to starting up the system. The condition of the heat exchanger, burners, flue, blower and filters will all be checked, for applicable equipment. For most newer systems, the flame sensor will be removed and cleaned. For older systems, a check of the MV output for the thermocouple will be inspected.

So, what are you waiting for? Call Kramer and Sons today to schedule your Fall Preventative Maintenance Inspection for your heating system.
