Why Tune-up Your Heating System in the Fall?

While it may not necessarily feel cold or even brisk outside, we all know the inevitable is upon us – winter is coming. And whether you’re a fan of winter or not, one thing we can universally agree upon is the comfort of a nicely heated home. Vaughn Oil is here to help ensure your heating system is ready to fight any and all cold temperatures so that you can be prepared for whatever winter has in store.

Now that it’s officially fall, you’ll want to make sure your heating system is ready for winter. To make sure it’s ready you should:

• Test your thermostat. This means learning how to program it properly, which will not only keep your home warm in the winter, but it will also add up to huge savings on your heating bill.
• Schedule a heating tune-up. Like most things, your heating system (specifically your furnace, boiler or burner) needs regular maintenance – this keeps the system running at full efficiency and avoids running into any potential major and costly problems. Schedule your tune-up with Vaughn today!
• Fill up your tank. An empty (or even partially empty) tank is prone to damage and harmful bacteria due to condensation. But once your tank is full of oil you can rest assured that you won’t have to worry about these items.
• Replace your heating system (if necessary). Vaughn is also here to help replace your heating system.

Checking all these items off your list in the fall means you, as well as our service technicians, will have ample time to make any necessary upgrades or repairs.

You Will Have Schedule Flexibility

Waiting until winter actually arrives may make it very challenging to schedule any maintenance on your home heating system. After the Labor Day holiday, qualified service technicians get extremely busy and their schedules fill up. But if you’re able to get ahead of things and schedule your heating system tune-up in the fall, securing a technician will be much easier and you’ll have way more flexibility when it comes to scheduling any necessary maintenance.

There’s Still Plenty of Time For Any Necessary Upgrades or Repairs

The last thing you want, and the last thing we want for you, is to be without heat come winter. That is why any necessary upgrades or repairs should be made in the fall before we’re hit with frigid temperatures. If we come for a tune-up in the fall and decide that any of your equipment needs to be upgraded or replaced there will be plenty of time to do so before winter arrives.
