Heater Maintenance in McMinnville, OR
Heater maintenance involves many steps that keep your system operating efficiently for cleaner air. Regularly replacing or cleaning your heater filters prevents dust, pollen, and other allergens from entering your system and circulating throughout your home. Attention to the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding filter changes and cleanings is essential.

A professional maintenance appointment involves checking your heating system to ensure it operates effectively. Uneven heating and airflow issues can lead to condensation, creating conditions for mold and mildew growth, which impacts indoor air quality. Maintenance can help balance your heater’s humidity control, keeping allergens like mold and mildew at bay.
Fuel-driven systems can significantly impact your home’s air quality because of potential gas leaks. Heaters can develop gas leaks due to wear and tear, and small cracks can occur in the heat exchanger, leading to carbon monoxide buildup in your home.
Maintenance appointments involve checking all electrical components for signs of loosening or damage. Our technicians inspect the heat exchanger and fuel lines, using testing tools to determine if there are any leaks. We verify the function of all components and ensure your heater heats appropriately and has no safety issues requiring immediate attention.
After the inspection, we can recommend other HVAC components that can help protect your indoor air quality, including improved ventilation systems. If your home does not have enough ventilation, your heating system may contribute to poor air quality. Ventilation systems help circulate fresh air, limiting the contaminants and pollutants in your home.
We may also recommend filtration to combat air quality issues. Air purifiers, including air scrubbers, can remove harmful particles in your air. These systems can help your family breathe easier by reducing allergy and asthma symptoms brought on by air quality concerns. We can help you determine the best air purifier for your home and family’s needs to ensure improved air quality.
You should seek professional heater maintenance yearly. We recommend scheduling furnace maintenance in late summer or early fall before you need to turn on the heat for the first time. Your heater’s manufacturer may require professional maintenance to prevent the system warranty from being voided.
