It is not unusual for your heating bill to put in more of an appearance every winter. Or for the furnace to be on longer than you are accustomed to. One has to wonder if the system is putting a dent in your finances and you do not even know it.
With the cool weather in, that is what many homeowners in Upstate South Carolina will tell you they have been thinking about. We at Dipple Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Electrical have put families at ease with their home comfort and their bills for as long as we have been in business (1979 to be exact). For some frank talk on your heating system, our number is (864) 319-3682.
But first the good news: there is no easier way to rein in energy costs than with a fall heating tune-up. We will show you how.
Efficiency Is Not Permanent
Eventually any heating system will see better days. There is dust accumulation, parts get worn, minor adjustments go awry. The upshot is your heat pump or furnace must put in more effort to make the room as warm.
More effort is more fuel and electricity consumed, which you will see reflected in higher figures on the monthly statement regardless of whether the house is any cozier. Most people just put up with the expense as part of the routine and do not see the savings available to them. A tune-up in the fall puts a stop to that.
What You Get from a Tune-Up
Do not mistake a proper fall tune-up for a cursory inspection of your system. Our technicians put in the time to examine the equipment and its efficiency.
You can expect us to cover the following:
- See to it the air filter is clean or put in a new one for unimpeded air
- Make sure all electrical connections are tight
- Examine the heat exchanger and burners for any buildup
- Verify the thermostat is giving you an accurate read
- Put some lubrication on moving parts to take the strain off
- Assess performance and airflow
- Check the blower for signs of wear
In short, we put the system back in the condition it was meant to be in, and that is a system that is not wasteful with its energy.
Where the Savings Come From
Consider it this way. A clogged filter makes the blower work overtime to force air through it and that is power used for nothing. Dirty burners mean the furnace is not burning its fuel completely and wasting gas. An errant thermostat will have the system cycling when it has no need to. All of it gets tallied on your bill.
A tune-up does away with these things. With the right settings and smooth airflow, the heating will not have to run as long to do its job. In an Upstate South Carolina winter that is money well saved.
No More Unforeseen Expenses
Then there is the matter of avoiding a costly emergency repair. Left to their own devices, small issues have a habit of turning into large ones, often on the coldest night you can imagine. By having a technician spot a loose connection or something worn in the fall you nip it in the bud. It is good for your wallet and your peace of mind.
Should the need arise at an inconvenient hour we are on hand. Dipple is at your service 24/7 so you do not have to sit out a freezing night.
Make the Call in the Fall
There is a reason to do it now. Fall is the time to get it done before you are relying on the heater day in and day out. The system is not being taxed and you can get any repairs done without the rush. Put it off and you are likely to be scheduling in the thick of the cold when we are all at capacity.
And it is important to put your trust in the right hands. Dipple is fully licensed and insured with an A plus from the BBB and a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Our 4.9 stars across 3000 Google reviews speak to the confidence Upstate South Carolina homeowners have in us.
If you are looking to spend less and stay warm this winter, a fall tune-up is the sensible thing to do. Contact Dipple Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Electrical at (864) 319-3682.
