Your Richmond, TX, Furnace Maintenance Experts.

Chilly weather is upon us here in Fort Bend County.

Is your Richmond, TX, home or business prepared for the frosty slide into winter? When you switch your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) thermostat to heat, your furnace should be clean, inspected, and ready to operate at peak performance for the next several months.

Preventative maintenance is the only way to prepare your heating system to work safely and efficiently through winter.

At Abel Mechanical Services, we believe the best time for a tune-up is early fall before you use your furnace daily. Learn why.

When Is It Best to Schedule Furnace Maintenance?

Professional maintenance can be performed on your furnace at any time of the year. It is worth the investment.

But the best time to schedule it is in the fall, right before the weather gets too cold. You want to be sure you can depend on your heating system when you need it.

Here’s How a Fall Tune-Up Helps:

• System Safety
  This is a prime reason to inspect your heating system before putting it into service. During a tune-up, our expert technicians inspect components for wear and damage that might jeopardize your well-being. For example, a cracked heat exchanger in your gas furnace could trigger a deadly carbon monoxide (CO) leak. We inspect the gas line for leaks and ensure safety controls operate correctly. We also check electrical wiring and connections on both furnaces and heat pumps.
• Catching Problems Early
  Running your heating system when it needs repair or cleaning is risky. Damaged or worn components you could easily swap out now may grow into big, costly problems or even a breakdown in a month or two as your system continues to operate. Fall maintenance ensures all necessary heating repairs are complete before your furnace begins working 24/7.
• Better Weather
  Why is this important? We turn off your furnace while cleaning or repairing it. Schedule maintenance now for a more comfortable experience during milder weather, so you won’t be sitting in the cold during our visit!

Maintenance Saves Money

Scheduling maintenance any time of the year is better than ignoring your heating system, but a fall tune-up is your best option. Maintenance ensures your equipment operates efficiently, helping you save money on utility bills.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) points out that you can save up to 30 percent on your energy bill if you maintain and upgrade your heating equipment and insulate and air seal your Richmond, TX, home.
