What’s the Difference Between Heating Service & Heating Repair?

You might think of heating service and heating repair as the same thing. After all, you want a licensed and experienced professional to come to your home and make your furnace work better, right?

Across the HVAC industry, though, leading companies often have different specialists and equipment for those two types of appointments, so it's often best for the homeowner if they know upfront which they need.

Heating services, or preventative maintenance, are tasks that should be completed on your unit at regular intervals to prevent breakdowns, maintain safe heating and good air quality, and maintain good energy efficiency. They could be anything from calibrating the thermostat to lubricating all moving parts and checking for gas leaks. HVAC professionals, including our friends at Guaranteed Service, suggest tuning up your furnace at least once a year.

In contrast, heating repair is needed when you suspect something is wrong with your furnace. Warning signs include:

• It doesn't emit enough warmth
• It cycles on and off too often
• It provides uneven heating throughout your home
• It will not turn on or shut off
• It makes unusual or loud noises
• You need to frequently adjust the thermostat
• You smell burning
• Your energy bills are unusually high
