Heater Maintenance & Tune-Ups

You depend on your heating system to keep your home or business comfortable and safe during winter, and Sanks Mechanical offers heater maintenance services to ensure that your system runs efficiently and reliably through the cold months ahead. We provide these services throughout the Montgomery, Bucks, and Philadelphia areas and offer heater maintenance plans as well.
The Benefits of Heater Maintenance
All manufacturer warranties for heating systems require seasonal heater maintenance as a condition of the coverage. Over the course of winter, heating systems operate under heavy workloads in the Northeast and are subject to extensive wear, and it’s necessary to correct that wear if you want to reach the manufacturer’s estimated lifespan for the equipment. While some homeowners view maintenance as an additional cost, another benefit is that it ensures optimal efficiency and thus lowers your costs on a month-to-month basis and actually saves you money over the life of the equipment.

Signs Your Heater Needs Maintenance
Sanks recommends scheduling heater maintenance proactively each year rather than in response to a problem as it will save you money over the long run. Of course, you should also monitor your system and schedule service with us if you notice any signs of a problem. These include your utility bill being unusually high, uneven heating, inconsistent temperatures, weak or no airflow, odd noises, unusual smells, a yellow pilot light, and an increase in dust that undermines air quality in the home.
What You Can Expect From Sanks
When you schedule a heater maintenance appointment with Sanks, you can expect a certified technician to arrive at your home or business in a timely manner and with the latest diagnostic equipment available. Our technician will perform a multipoint inspection and also a comprehensive cleaning. We’ll lubricate all moving parts and tighten all electrical connections. After starting the system, our tech will ensure that the system is operating within normal parameters and calibrate it if necessary. Finally, we’ll discuss the state of your heating system with you, perhaps make recommendations about proactive repairs, and answer any questions that you may have.
Types of Heating Systems We Service
Sanks provides heater maintenance services for all heating technologies used in homes and businesses throughout the Montgomery, Bucks, and Philadelphia areas. That includes furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, and baseboard radiators.
Furnaces
Furnaces are the most common way to heat homes and businesses in the Montgomery, Bucks, and Philadelphia areas. Modern furnaces provide excellent warmth and are highly efficient, and your options include electric, natural gas, heating oil, and propane.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are electric heating systems and are among the most efficient options. They provide both heating and cooling and are often paired with an auxiliary furnace in order to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Boilers
Boilers are an efficient and effective heating choice that has the added benefit of not blowing air. Most homes with boilers have hydronic heating systems or hot water boilers, but steam boilers are also available.
Baseboard Radiators
Baseboard radiators are a common way to distribute heat from a hydronic heating system. The hot water is pumped through pipes to radiators where it emanates heat before returning to the boiler to be reheated.
Why Regular Maintenance Is Important
We advise our customers to schedule heater maintenance annually and ideally just prior to needing to heat the home. Your heating system has moving parts and is subject to significant wear. Routine heater maintenance is an opportunity to clean the dust and grime that has accumulated during the last winter, correct any wear, and calibrate the system. This service is required by your warranty, and it will lower your monthly operating costs and extend the life of your equipment. You may also want to consider our maintenance plan, which lowers your costs even further and ensures that your system is serviced on schedule.
Emergency Repair Services
Sanks appreciates that if your heater fails in the middle of the night in the dead of winter, you simply can’t wait until tomorrow, which is why we have expert repair technicians on call. At any time of day or night, including weekends and holidays, we’ll dispatch one of our technicians to your home in a work truck outfitted with all of the equipment, parts, and supplies needed to fix your unit during that visit.
Heater Replacement Services
All heating systems eventually need to be replaced, and Sanks can help you determine whether a repair is a practical option or whether it’s better to replace your unit. While a new system will cost more up front, it will save you money in the end due to lower operating and maintenance costs. Our team installs hydronic heating systems, furnaces, and heat pumps, including heat pumps with auxiliary heat. We can help you determine which system is ideal for you and your home and ensure that it’s sized appropriately, and we perform conversions, such as from a furnace to a heat pump or from electric to natural gas.
