Why Heating Maintenance Matters
Homeowners who schedule regular heating maintenance enjoy the following benefits:
- Improved energy efficiency, and thus, lower energy bills
- Extended equipment life
- Protection from unexpected breakdowns, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide
These advantages add up to real peace of mind. When your system is cared for by professionals, you can count on steady warmth all winter while avoiding the stress of costly mid-season repairs.
What’s Included in Professional Heating Maintenance
A heater tune-up isn’t a glance at your equipment. It’s a meticulous inspection, cleaning, and calibration process. Allied’s experienced technicians follow a detailed checklist tailored to the type of system in your home. Below, you’ll find what’s typically included for furnaces and boilers, so you know exactly how we keep each working at its best.
Furnace Maintenance: What to Expect
Furnaces rely on precise airflow, ignition, and combustion to deliver even warmth throughout your home. Allied protects that performance with our 21-Point Furnace Inspection, a detailed process that checks every vital component for safety and efficiency. During your furnace preventative maintenance visit, we will:
- Inspect the heat exchanger, burners, and ignition or pilot assembly
- Clean and adjust burners for smooth, efficient combustion
- Check the blower motor, lubricate moving parts, and verify belt tension if applicable
- Examine the bypass damper or zoning controls if present
- Test line voltage, capacitor, and relays to ensure proper operation
- Verify gas pressure, airflow, and carbon monoxide levels
- Tighten electrical connections and measure voltage
- Clean condensate drains and safety switches
- Calibrate the thermostat and confirm proper system cycling
- Replace or clean filters and review airflow through ducts
By following this process, our technicians make sure every part of your furnace is ready for the heating season. Afterward, we’ll explain our findings and outline any steps to keep your equipment running safely and efficiently.
Boiler Maintenance: What to Expect
Boilers heat water and circulate it through pipes or radiators, so they need a slightly different approach. Our boiler maintenance service is designed to protect these hydronic systems from leaks, corrosion, and inefficiency. When you schedule boiler maintenance with Allied, we typically:
- Examine the heat exchanger and burner assembly for buildup or damage
- Inspect the circulation pump and lubricate as needed
- Check water levels, pressure, and temperature controls
- Test relief valves and other safety devices
- Flush or bleed the system if sediment or air pockets are present
- Review expansion tank performance to maintain balanced pressure
- Inspect visible piping and radiators for signs of leaks or corrosion
- Verify thermostat settings and overall system response
After the service, we’ll walk you through the results and suggest any preventive measures to avoid costly downtime.
How Often to Schedule Maintenance
Timing is key when it comes to caring for your heating system. Most manufacturers recommend professional service once per year, preferably before temperatures drop. A fall appointment ensures your furnace or boiler is ready for peak performance as soon as cold weather arrives.
There are also situations where you shouldn’t wait until your next annual visit. If you notice uneven heating, strange noises, or climbing energy bills, call us right away. Our emergency heating team can prevent small issues from escalating into major problems.
