It's hard to start thinking about the brisk winter months as you enjoy the second half of your summer, but August is actually the best time to take care of your oil heater. In this article, we'll cover several benefits of getting your oil heater tune-up in August, rather than in the fall or winter.
5 Reasons to Schedule Your Oil Heater Tune-Up in August
1. Plan ahead
You've already had AC maintenance and the busyness of summer is dying down. Why not cross something else off your to-do list ahead of time? Be prepared for fall and winter by getting your oil tune-up in August so that you're all set with a well-functioning heater once the temperatures start to drop.
2. No surprises
By scheduling your maintenance in advance, you not only avoid any last-minute surprises but also provide ample time for your technician to address any issues before the chilly weather arrives. If parts need to be ordered or big repairs need to be made, you won't be worrying about how long you'll be left without heat. This proactive approach ensures a smooth transition into the colder months, with a well-functioning heater ready to keep you warm and cozy.
3. Prevent a breakdown
As mentioned above, scheduling your oil heater tune-up in August ensures it's working for winter. There's nothing worse than turning on your heater for the first time on a cold day, only to find it's not working. Or, it may work for a little while and then break down when you least expect it. By having a technician clean the heater and look for signs of problems, you won't be caught off guard when it's inconvenient.
4. Save money
When a technician tunes up your heater, they also make sure that it's running at maximum efficiency. This equates to both increased comfort and money savings. So why let your heater run for weeks or months before getting it to maximum efficiency? Schedule your oil heater tune-up for August to ensure it's working well before you start using it, and you can save money all winter long.
5. Take advantage of the offseason
By the time August rolls around, most customers have already taken care of their air conditioning maintenance needs, and service calls are starting to slow down. On the flip side, the majority of people have yet to schedule their heater maintenance and have not even turned their heaters on yet. That's why it's the best time to get your tune-up in and avoid the busy schedule. This will also reduce the chance that we need to reschedule your appointment due to a heating or air conditioning emergency.
