Turn to Croaker for Comprehensive Heating System Maintenance in Georgetown

Providing Heater Maintenance Services in Georgetown Since 2003

No one in Georgetown wants to wake up on the coldest day of the year with no heat. For most modern households, the only thing worse is a day without clean water or power. Unfortunately, if you don’t keep an eye on your heater, that scenario might be more than imaginary.

Texas's cooler weather means needing a heater you can rely on. Even minimal heater use can lead to parts degradation and reduced efficiency. If left uncorrected, the dirt and grime build up can lead your heating system to an early grave. That’s why it’s so important to get regular heating tune-ups from a local HVAC professional. During their check, our HVAC technician will not only ensure your heater is operating as intended, but they’ll also test its safety controls and lubricate moving parts.

The Benefits of Heater Maintenance in Georgetown

You already pay for enough stuff. So, we get why many families are reluctant to add another line to their budget. But preventive and proactive heater maintenance is vital to living comfortably in the Georgetown area. It’s the best way to prevent you from shivering your way through a cold snap. It also can help pad your wallet in belt-tightening times.

We recommend performing heater maintenance regularly. Your HVAC contractor will recommend a time that's right for you.

Regardless of when you do it, however, you can expect to reap the following benefits:

• More Effective Heating: A well-maintained heating system will perform more efficiently for longer. The lowered energy usage translates directly into lower gas and electric bills. For most homes, these savings almost completely offset the cost of heater maintenance.
• Extended Lifespan: Replacing a bad heater isn’t cheap. It’s an inevitable major expense many homeowners seek to defer for as long as possible. The best way to do this is to complete your recommended maintenance calls. This lessened wear and tear and can help you avoid catastrophic system failures.If you do still need to replace your heater, we have financing options available throughout the Round Rock and Georgetown area.
• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Throughout operation, your HVAC system accumulates dust, mold, and pollen. These are then cycled throughout your ducts by your heater or air conditioner's fan. During heater service, our technician will clean away these irritants allowing you to breathe cleaner air. For more ways to improve your home's air quality in Georgetown, visit our IAQ service page.
• Manufacturer Warranty Coverage: A lot of manufacturers warranty systems for several years past installation. But, as you might expect, there are strings attached. One of these is typically a requirement to prove regular service was done on the heater. So, if you want the benefit of the warranty you paid for, joining our HVAC maintenance program can make sure that happens.

If Your Heater is Fueled by Gas, Skipping Maintenance Can be Dangerous

Now, let’s start with a disclaimer. Heating systems themselves aren’t inherently hazardous, especially more modern systems. But, if you use a gas furnace and cracks develop in the heat exchanger, carbon monoxide (CO) can leak into your home, making you and your family sick. Left undetected, it can worsen to the point of hospitalization or death.

Most often an issue with older gas furnaces or boilers, CO risk is best avoided through regular maintenance. During our inspection, our heater service expert will carefully examine your heat exchanger for signs of gaps, cracks, or damage. If this is spotted, they will recommend shutting the system down immediately. Replacement is typically recommended, particularly if the unit is older or if the heat exchanger became compromised because too large a system was installed for the size of your home.
