This year, many regions are experiencing temperatures well below zero, and some meteorologists are even calling it one of the worst winters in decades. With these kinds of temperatures, many homeowners within our service footprint of DE, Southeastern PA, South NJ, and Northeastern MD are running their furnace non-stop. After so many hours of operation, a residential furnace is going to need service in order to make it through the rest of winter.
Homeowners in these regions should contact their local Heating Contractor for a service visit right away. With a service visit from a local service provider, many homeowners will find that their furnace will work more reliably and efficiently. Regular service visits from a HVAC professional will help homeowners reduce the cost of operating their heating appliance, too.
Many homeowners have noticed an increase in their monthly energy costs. An increase in energy consumption is normal, and the average home will see their monthly bill double. Seeing an increase of triple, or even quadruple, is not normal. This kind of increase during colder months could indicate that a heating appliance is not running as efficiently as it should be.
If a heating appliance isn’t running properly, it could be working much harder than it should be, leading to a much higher cost to operate. With a service visit from a local Heating Contractor, like Horizon Services, many homeowners will see their monthly energy cost drastically reduced. Keeping a heating appliance working at peak efficiently is the best way to assure longer, more efficient operation.
Unfortunately, many service providers are very busy during winter. This means that some homeowners will have to wait several days for service. If a heating appliance has stopped working, the whole family could be without heat for days.
To avoid unexpected problems, it’s recommended that homeowners call for service visits just before the beginning of winter and again at the end of winter. These service visits are not only more convenient, but they will also help assure that a heating appliance will operate through winter and again when the appliance is needed next winter.
