How a Fall Heating Tune-Up Can Put Some Relief in Your South Jersey Energy Bills
Winter has a way of making your energy bills go up. And when the first cold night comes to Burlington or Ocean County, you may be left to wonder if your furnace is up to the task and how to have your heating system put in without it costing an arm and a leg.
Raynor Services can put your mind at ease. We have been putting that kind of savings in the pockets of South Jersey families for some time now, going back to 1994. In most cases the solution is as straightforward as a fall heating tune-up to bring down winter costs. Call (609) 845-0648 and we will get one on the books for you before the weather turns.
The Case for Doing It in the Fall
For all of summer your heating system is not doing anything. Dust has a chance to accumulate, components settle and minor things you would not have seen fester into something more. Then the first cold snap arrives and you put the system to work and it has to make an effort just to start.
Put in a tune-up ahead of the busy season and you have a system in fine form come winter. One that is in fine form does not need as much energy for the job at hand. You will see the effect of that on your bill from October to March.
Where the Savings Are
There is no reason for a properly cared for system to be at odds with itself to make your home comfortable. An expert tune-up will yield the following:
- New or cleaned air filters so the blower motor is not overworked
- Burners and heat exchanger are put in order for efficient fuel consumption
- Electrical connections are made tight to head off any waste or safety concerns
- The thermostat is calibrated to hit the right temperature and nothing more
- Moving parts are lubricated to cut down on friction and the energy that goes with it
- We test the pressure and airflow to find any restrictions that would have the system running longer than necessary
Individually they are small matters. In aggregate however, they will determine how much your furnace or heat pump has to pull to keep the family at ease.
What Happens If You Do Not Maintain It
Some homeowners are content to let things be until they break. A filter in bad shape puts strain on the blower, a burner covered in dust is a waste of fuel, a thermostat out of whack will run the system well past comfort. You might not be aware of it but the meter is.
Then the system gives out, invariably on the coldest of nights. With a tune-up you are on top of worn parts and nipping problems in the bud before they become an emergency repair or require you to put in a new system.
A Raynor Tune-Up
We do not do a cursory job at Raynor Services. Our technicians are vetted with a background and substance check as well as an HVAC proficiency exam, and are schooled in Nexstar principles, before they come to your home.
This is what we provide:
- A call to let you know we are on our way
- Pricing based on the job, up front and with no hourly surprises
- We will not leave your home any less clean than we found it
- A 100% guarantee on our work
- A “Happy Call” once we are done to be sure you are happy
We are a woman-led, family operation, licensed and insured, and in the three decades we have been in business we have come to know what the winters here in Burlington, Camden, Atlantic and Ocean Counties put on a heating system.
Save More by Planning
Sometimes a tune-up will tell you if your system is near the end of its rope or has plenty of life in it yet. Should a repair indicate a replacement is in order, our down-payment program for HVAC will apply the cost of that repair to a like-for-like replacement in the next year. Financing is available from $99 monthly and we put warranties of 10 years on labor and parts.
But there is no better place to start than having your system looked at before the onset of winter.
