If you notice any of these red flags, the best course of action is to turn off the appliance until you can get it inspected by professionals.

If you take proper care of your home’s heating system, you can minimize the risk of equipment failure and improve its overall performance. The best way to do this is by scheduling regular professional tune-ups. We at Cougar offer thorough heating maintenance to make sure you’re always receiving the best results possible from your heater. We’ll clean all the dust, dirt, and debris out of the appliance, inspect all of its components, and search for any warning signs of impending problems.

Scheduling a heating tune-up is affordable and easy to do, yet the benefits it can bring to your household are significant. By having your heater serviced at least once each year, you’ll most likely notice several or all of these improvements:

It’s entirely natural to want to get as many years out of your heating system as possible. And if the appliance is still running smoothly and efficiently, there’s really no reason to replace it. However, the time will eventually come when your aging heater begins to deteriorate. When that time comes, waiting too long to invest in a new system will only lead to more discomfort, hassle, and money spent.

Although there are many factors in how long a heating appliance lasts, the average is roughly 10 to 15 years. When a heater is more than a decade old, it’s important to watch for any signs that it’s approaching the end of its healthy lifespan. Once the unit’s electricity consumption starts to rise or it loses its ability to effectively provide heat, the best choice is to replace it.

We at Cougar want to make things as easy as possible when it comes to having a new heater installed. It doesn’t matter whether you’re replacing an old appliance or building a new home; our team can assist you every step of the way.
