Company Encourages Homeowners to Schedule a
Heating System Tune-Up Ahead of Cold Weather to Prepare Their
Homes
HomeServe USA (HomeServe), a leading provider of home repair
solutions, will celebrate National Tune-Up Day on September 25th.
Established in 2014, the day is meant to educate and raise
awareness among homeowners around the importance of proper home
heating system maintenance. Recognized by the National Day
Calendar, National Tune-Up Day is representative of HomeServe’s
broader efforts to provide homeowners with solutions that defend
against unexpected expenses and the challenges of emergency home
repairs.
“With the winter season around the corner, National Tune-Up Day
serves as an annual reminder for homeowners to get their heating
systems in optimal shape,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe USA.
“Maintaining heating systems with some simple preventative measures
– some of which require the assistance of a professional technician
– can assure that homeowners sail through the winter without any
heating system issues or costly repairs.”
Homeowners are advised to schedule a tune-up before turning
their heating system unit on for the season to proactively and more
inexpensively make sure their heating equipment is operating
properly to avoid surprises when the first cold snap arrives. By
receiving a tune-up from a professional technician, homeowners can
trust that their heating system is working efficiently and also
safely by, for example, making sure that there are no blockages in
their flue or exhaust vent. Such blockages can lead to potential
exposure to carbon monoxide and become hazardous if undetected.
According to HomeServe, homeowners should make a habit of tuning up
heating and cooling systems ahead of seasonal changes to protect
themselves from preventable risks.
During a heating system tune-up, professional heating
technicians will typically have the following checklist:
- Check safety systems and controls
- Check/adjust thermostats
- Check/adjust burners
- Check/clean pilot
- Check/clean gauge and flush low water
cut-off
- Check filters and belts
- Check flue pipe and chimney draft
- Check oil motors and pumps
- Check/clean blower assembly
- Check condensate line if
applicable
According to the Winter 2017 edition of the Biannual State of
the Home Survey – a report from HomeServe exploring the state
of Americans’ readiness for emergency home repairs and other
ongoing expenses, found that 71 percent of Americans did not
believe it was likely that they experience a major home repair
emergency in the following 12 months. Yet over half of Americans
(54 percent) reported having had a home emergency repair in the
year prior, showing the gap between reality and expectations when
it came to repair issues. Faulty heating or air conditioning
systems can make for especially burdensome and expensive home
repairs – something tune-ups can help protect homeowners from, by
preventing failures or malfunctions later.
HomeServe offers home heating protection plans, including plans
that provide tune-ups. HomeServe also offers service plans for
water, sewer, electrical and other home emergencies. All plan
holders have the same access to a Repair Hotline that is accessible
24 hours a day, 365 days a year and a network of employed or local,
licensed and insured technicians available to come to their home
for repairs. More information is available at
