Why Annual Maintenance Matters
Your gas heater works hard all winter to keep your home warm. Like any mechanical system, it needs regular check-ups to perform at its best. Annual maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs and keeps your system running safely.
Professional maintenance typically costs $120-250 annually but can save thousands in repair costs and extends system lifespan by 5+ years.
What's Included in Professional Service
Professional gas heater servicing includes: Safety inspection, heat exchanger cleaning, burner inspection and adjustment, ignition system testing, gas pressure verification, temperature calibration, and complete system check.
Our technicians also identify potential problems early and advise on repair priorities.
DIY Maintenance You Can Do
Between professional services, you can help maintain your system: Keep intake vents clear of obstructions, replace filters regularly (every 1-3 months), check pilot light flame (should be steady blue), listen for unusual noises, and monitor heating performance.
Never attempt internal repairs yourself – gas systems require licensed technician expertise.
