Texas is known for its hot summer months, but what about the cold winter ones? Surprisingly, winter can get pretty cold. With the climate constantly changing, and surprises like Winter Storm Uri this past February, it’s best to secure your heating systems in Grand Prairie, Texas. You never know what temperatures you will be facing in these upcoming months. Luckily for you, Superior AC & Heat can maintain your HVAC systems year round, and we are only a call away. If you need a new heater this upcoming year, we have your back. Our expert team will install it in a timely manner and provide regular maintenance throughout its lifetime.
Yearly Inspections
Just because Texas isn’t notorious for its winter weather conditions, it doesn’t mean that we have charming warm weather all year round. In fact, temperatures can drop fairly quickly and low during these months. You don’t want to turn your heater on one day when you really need it and have it malfunction. That’s why Superior AC & Heat recommends regular inspections. Our team recommends getting your heater inspected at least once a year. We can catch any potential problems before they become serious and expensive repairs. However, there are times when your heater needs to be replaced completely. They are built to last a number of years (15 to 30 years), but once their time is up, you will need a new heater.
Regular Maintenance
Depending on the maintenance, you can extend your heater’s lifespan. Our team can look out for clogged flues, gad and pilot light issues, frayed wires, etc. With our regular maintenance, we will prevent these issues from occurring, but fix them quickly if they arise.
Some heaters need more maintenance than others. Furnaces, boilers, and gas heaters need regular maintenance because they can become a safety threat otherwise. Electric heaters need less maintenance, but still need to get inspected periodically to check fans, clear dust, etc.
Common Signs That Your Heater Needs Attention
A dying heater doesn’t perish silently. There are many common signs that indicate your heater needs a repair or replacement.
Makes a Lot of Noise
If your heater is making some concerning noises, such as loud clunking, banging, or rattling sounds, then get in touch with us right away. It’s normal for heaters to make soft sounds when operating, but if you hear loud noises, it most likely needs a repair or replacement.
Dust Everywhere
If you notice a lot of dust in your home, even after you have just cleaned, then you can blame your heater. The dust is constantly getting circulated in the ventilation system. Your heater may need ductwork or sealing repairs.
Your Home Doesn’t Warm Up
This is one of the most obvious signs that your heater isn’t working properly. If it’s taking the system a long time to reach the desired temperature in your Grand Prairie home, then it’s in need of a repair or a complete replacement.
