Regular heating maintenance in Des Moines helps keep homes warm and energy bills low. A well-maintained system runs better, lasts longer, and avoids big repair costs. That’s why a solid HVAC maintenance plan makes a real difference.
We’ll be at the Des Moines Home & Garden Show (Feb 13-16, Booth 417 at the Iowa Events Center). Stop by to chat with our team. While you’re there, grab a $69 tune-up (normally $250) and get your system checked before winter’s worst.
The Importance of Seasonal Heating Maintenance
A neglected system works harder, burns more energy, and breaks down sooner. Regular routine heating and cooling checkups help prevent problems and keep your home comfortable. Maintenance also improves HVAC system efficiency, lowering energy bills and reducing strain on your system. If you’re relying on a heat pump this season, here’s why proper maintenance also helps protect your warranty and keeps your system running efficiently year-round.
A quick checkup now beats a costly emergency repair later. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
Expert Tips to Maintain Your Heater
Taking care of your system doesn’t have to be hard. Follow these simple tips to keep it running strong.
1. Schedule a Professional Tune-Up
A HVAC tune-up service helps spot small problems before they turn into expensive breakdowns. During an inspection, a technician will check key components, clean the system, and make necessary adjustments.
Take advantage of our $69 home show special to get a professional checkup at a fraction of the usual price.
2. Change Air Filters Regularly
Dirty filters block airflow and force the system to work harder. A clogged filter can even cause the system to overheat. Check your filters once a month and replace them if they look dirty.
3. Keep Vents and Ducts Clear
Blocked vents make it harder for warm air to circulate. Move furniture, rugs, or curtains that might cover vents. If dust builds up inside, vacuum the grates to keep air moving freely.
Leaky ductwork wastes energy. If you notice weak airflow, have a professional inspect the ducts for gaps or holes. For those experiencing recurring airflow issues or cold spots, it may be worth checking whether your heating system is the right fit for your home or if an upgrade is needed.
4. Adjust Your Thermostat Wisely
Setting the thermostat too high makes the system work overtime. In winter, keep it at a steady, comfortable temperature. A programmable thermostat can help you avoid unnecessary heating when no one is home.
