Heating System
Maintenance

Your heating system should be maintained just like you maintain a fuel-burning car. If you have a system that uses natural gas or propane, it should be serviced every year or so by a professional.  Heat pumps need to be serviced every one to three years, and oil burners need an annual cleaning and tune-up.  Having a regular visit from a service person not only keeps your energy bills lower, you save by extending the life of your system, and they'll operate safer and give off fewer pollutants.
