While Melbourne may have comparably comfortable temperatures through the seasons, many homeowners rely on home heating systems to keep their homes cosy and warm through the cooler months. The best way to make sure your system performs reliably and efficiently is by having it serviced each year and repaired when problems first occur. Here are just some of the benefits of home heating repairs and servicing.
#1 – You Save Energy
As Australians, we’re pretty proud of our commitment to saving energy and reducing our carbon footprint in our cities and homes and regular maintenance helps achieve these goals. A heating system that’s been neglected may still run, but it will have to work harder to raise your home’s temperature – and that means it draws more energy than it should.
A yearly service includes a full system check-up, from tightening loose connections and cleaning air filters to testing air flow, thermostat calibration and much more. If you notice your energy bill is higher than it usually is, then chances are that your heating system can benefit from a service.
#2 – Lower Repair Costs
The harder your heating system has to work, the more noticeable the wear-and-tear on other components, resulting in more frequent breakdowns. Servicing helps detect small issues early on, before they become expensive and costly to repair and before they start to affect other components, helping you save in the longer term.
#3 – Better Air Quality
Home heating systems don’t just warm air, they filter it too. The air filters in the unit collect pet dander, mould, mildew, pollen, dust and pollutants before the air is supplied into your home, ensuring a good air quality. Over the season, these filters get dirty and clogged ,especially if you live in a city environment or run your heating system frequently.
This reduces the performance and puts strain on the system. A service includes cleaning and replacing these filters if required, ensuring you always get good quality, clean air supplied to your home.

#4 – Longer Lifespan
All mechanical machinery, whether it’s a car, manufacturing equipment or a home heating system, needs servicing if you want it to last a long time. These systems are a relatively expensive investment and a regular tune-up will keep it in perfect running condition for at least 10-15 years – if not longer.
#5 – Increased Safety
Good quality home heating systems are designed to operate as efficiently and safely as possible – but in order to continue to meet these standards, the system should be serviced yearly.
Without servicing , you won’t know if anything serious has gone wrong with your system and you could end up with carbon monoxide leaks. You get proper peace of mind with a regular inspection from home heating repairs and servicing specialists.
