Why a Heat Pump or Furnace Tune-up is Important

Charlottesville winters are relatively mild, but we still experience chilly and damp weather, especially at night. Your HVAC system plays a critical role in keeping your family warm and comfortable, so it makes sense to protect your investment by scheduling a furnace or heat pump tune-up.

A seasonal heating tune-up performed by the pros at Dulin Mechanical Services provides a variety of important benefits.

• You’ll Enjoy Better Comfort: Mechanical issues always negatively impact comfort. Short cycling, low refrigerant, dirty coils, fouled burners and other problems affect capacity, which means you won’t get enough heated air into every room to keep your family comfortable.
• Lower Utility Bills: An optimized furnace or heat pump uses less fuel while providing the same level of comfort. Neglected equipment must work longer and harder to meet the thermostat call, so it consumes more power and fuel.
• Eliminate Repair Costs: When our technicians service your unit, they’ll look for worn parts and other issues that might cause a breakdown in severe weather. You can reduce or eliminate costly repairs and avoid major headaches by ordering a fall tune-up.
• Extend the Life of Your Equipment: Regularly serviced heating systems accumulate fewer runtime hours when compared to neglected equipment. Worn, clogged or dirty units must cycle more frequently to maintain your thermostat setting. Regular preventive maintenance will help extend the service life of your heating appliance by reducing the length of time it runs.
