Is Your Heating System Ready for the Winter?

As the temperatures start to drop this fall, is your heating system is in prime condition before the winter? A heating system that is poorly maintained can break down in cold weather, send your energy bills sky high, and even pose a safety hazard. In this blog post, the Fix It team outlines our view on the scheduled HVAC maintenance, upgrading your system, and the latest rebates for home and business owners in BC.

Benefits of Scheduled Maintenance

Regular maintenance on your furnace, boiler, hot water tank and other parts of your HVAC system helps ensure that your system runs efficiently and is less likely to break down. Here are the benefits of scheduled maintenance:

  • Improved energy efficiency: Regular maintenance ensures that your heating system is running properly, improving its energy efficiency and reducing your energy bills.
  • Improved indoor air quality: Regular maintenance, replacement or cleaning of ducts and filters can help improve the air quality in your home or business.
  • Increased lifespan of your heating system: Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your heating system because it identifies issues before they cause problems, helping you save money on replacement costs.
  • Regular maintenance helps identify safety issues and ensures that they are fixed before they cause any harm.

Upgrading Your System Can Save You Money

If your heating system is old or inefficient, it may be time to consider an upgrade. A new, energy-efficient system could save you money on your energy bills. BC residents are being encouraged to switch to more energy-efficient and low emission alternatives – you may qualify for a rebate on your installation! An efficient system also reduces your carbon footprint, because you burn less gas or electricity, making your home or business more environmentally friendly.
