​The Importance of Heating Maintenance

You depend on your property's heating system to keep you warm throughout the fall and winter months. This constant reliance on your heating system can put stress on it and cause it to wear down. However, regular maintenance can ensure that your furnace keeps running during colder seasons without issues. Annual heating maintenance will enable you to get the most out of your heating system and enjoy benefits such as:

  • Improved efficiency: With time, dust, debris, and other particles can accumulate in the vents, coils and filters of your heating system. Not only that, but minor issues in the mechanics of your heating system can place unnecessary stress on your heating system. When you schedule our heating maintenance with us in Prince George, we ensure all the components of your heating system are clean and in good working condition so that it can function with improved efficiency. This enhanced efficiency, in turn, reduces your energy costs and improves the lifespan of your heating system.
  • Prevention of repairs: Many heating issues that require repairs begin with problems that could have been prevented with regular service. When you schedule routine maintenance with us, we thoroughly examine your heating system and identify possible underlying problems.
  • Extended life span: Regular inspections and maintenance keep the various components of your heating system in check. Well-maintained properly functioning heating systems with enhanced efficiency generally have a longer lifespan.
  • Prevention of fire hazards: With regular maintenance, your furnace and the area around it will remain clear of dust, debris and clutter, reducing the risk of fire.

​

When Should I Change the Air Filters?

 

Generally, heating systems come with air filters that help keep dust and dirt out. Properly functioning air filters will maintain good indoor air quality. However, with time pollutants will get stuck to your air filters and circulate inside your property. It is best to change them as per the manufacturer's instructions. If you're unsure, please reach out to us for an inspection of your heating system.

​

What Are the Different Types of Furnaces? 

There are four categories of furnaces, based on the type of fuel they use. These include:

Why Choose Canuck Mechanical Ltd. for Heating Services in Prince George?

 

Gas furnaces, boilers, and hot water heaters are designed to generate a lot of heat in a compact space. For gas appliances, this means taking in a mixture of air and highly flammable natural gas or propane, igniting it, and dispersing the heated air throughout your home. Likewise, electric heating appliances also come with their own hidden dangers; these appliances operate at higher voltages than regular outlets in your home, greatly increasing the risk of accidental electrocution.

 

The safety features found in your gas or electric heating appliance are there for a reason — they automatically turn off the energy source when a failure is detected. If your heating appliance has gone into shutdown mode, one or more fail-safe components have likely been triggered. This brings us to the point at hand: it’s much cheaper to hire one of our heating contractors in Prince George than it is to replace a home or business. Never attempt to repair your heating appliance or bypass its safety mechanisms. No YouTube video or online post can prepare you for all the things that can go wrong when attempting to repair a furnace, boiler, or hot water heater.

 

In addition to heating services, count on us for air conditioning and plumbing repairs. We offer 24-hour emergency services to meet your heating needs. Feel free to reach out to us in case of a heating appliance failure. Contact us today for heating unit service and maintenance.
