Hot air central heating maintenance.

A recent blog post about fall maintenance mentioned having your furnace inspected tuned up by a qualified heating contractor annually. One reader sent an email asking if this was really necessary. Status heating can install service and repair warm air heating systems and have over 45 years experience. Seasonal maintenance is a necessity for keeping up your heating and cooling system and outside of changing your air filter it s best done by a licensed contractor and backed by a warranty.

Central heating differs from space heating in that the heat generation occurs in one place such as a furnace room or basement in a house or a mechanical room in a large building though not necessarily at the geometrically central point. My mother s house has a warm air central heating hot water system installed when the house was built in 1964. And does a brilliant job of heating the four bedroomed house at reasonable cost. We now replace old units with an aquair and boiler package you get the best of warm air.

The system is still going strong 50 years on with minimal maintenance issues. The heat is distributed throughout the building typically by forced air through ductwork by water circulating through pipes or by steam fed.
