Getting Ready for the Heating Season Ahead

Getting Ready for the Heating Season Ahead

As winter approaches, many people keep an eye on heating fuel costs and wonder what to budget for the season ahead. Getting a tune-up for your heating system can help it run efficiently and extend its life—saving you money in the short- and long-term!

A routine tune-up typically involves a mix of inspection, cleaning, and mechanical adjustments. You may want to do some tasks yourself (like changing air filters or bleeding radiators) or hire a contractor to complete the entire tune-up. Generally, inspections are recommended annually, and if your system is new, may be a requirement for maintaining a product warranty.

To find a potential contractor, check with the firms you already work with or search for an Efficiency Maine Registered Vendors in your area.
