Heating Maintenance
Contact our team at KTS Heating and Cooling Inc. for the highest-quality furnace maintenance services in the Chicago area.
Many homeowners wait until their system needs repairs to call in a professional, but scheduling regular furnace tune-ups can help keep your heating costs low while ensuring your system runs reliably. At KTS Heating and Cooling Inc., we make keeping up with furnace maintenance easy. Just give us a call, and our experienced HVAC experts will handle all aspects of system care, from changing the filter to cleaning the motor.
We're also always happy to answer any questions you may have about your furnace, ductwork, or anything else HVAC-related. Customer service is our top priority—that's why we're the top heating service company in Chicago, IL.
Your furnace might not necessarily stop working if you forgo regular maintenance—at least not right away—but you will be missing out on several notable benefits:
Scheduling regular maintenance services can add up to 10 years to your furnace’s useful life. Furnace maintenance is the best way to protect your heater from wear and tear.
Our technicians will clean and test your unit to make sure it’s running at peak efficiency.
Maintenance not only helps you catch small system issues before they become big problems but also eliminates common causes of damage, such as clogged filters.
We highly recommend scheduling heating maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the fall before winter sets in. If you have an HVAC system, it's best to schedule a second visit in the spring for your AC. We'll exam both systems at each visit. As your filters will need to be changed at least twice a year, this schedule works well for most households.
While there’s no substitute for an annual furnace tune-up with our team, there are some things that you can do in between maintenance checks to help extend your heating unit’s lifespan:
Your furnace filter traps dust, pollen, and bacteria, preventing them from entering your heating system and ductwork. Cleaning or replacing your filter regularly ensures your system has good airflow.
We'll change your filter during your maintenance visit, but it may need to be changed more frequently depending on the air quality near your home. Homes with pets may need more frequent filter replacements as well. In Chicago, twice a year is a minimum for filter replacement. We recommend bumping that up to every 2-3 months.
Anything that hinders airflow to your furnace or from vents will prevent it from effectively heating your home. Keep your vents clean and avoid keeping things on top or in front of them.
Ductwork damage can also be a significant source of heat loss. During your furnace tune-up, we’ll check your entire heating system, including vents and ducts, but if you notice a drop in your indoor air quality or more debris than usually in your vents, give us a call. We can inspect your ducts, repair any damage, and reseal the system if necessary.
Dry winter air can force your heater to work harder, leading to increased wear and tear. A whole-home humidifier is an excellent way to prolong your system's useful life and improve your health in the process. As a full-service heating and cooling service provider, we're happy to help you get that setup and suggest other energy efficiency improvements, such as smart thermostat installation or zone control.
Likewise, if you notice anything out of the ordinary with your heating unit between maintenance visits, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
