More than ever with today’s needs for conserving energy as well as maintaining a safe home environment, yearly service, tune-ups, and safety checks are strongly advised on all fossil fuel fired heating systems. They are important for gas fired systems and essential for oil fired systems, for both safety and efficiency reasons. Though it is still air conditioning season, soon fall will be here. It is best to have the heating system serviced before it becomes necessary to use it. Many people find it convenient to arrange for an annual service contract with a licensed plumber or heating systems contractor, who is familiar with the system, and can recommend simple maintenance and repairs that will keep the system in top operating condition. Investing in a relatively small amount of money in yearly maintenance can extend the life of your heating system, and prevent an untimely system failure that necessitates replacement.
