One of the most common questions we get is, \u201chow often should I get my heater serviced?\u201d The timing of your home\u2019s heating services is essential. We understand why you want to know when to get these services done. Today, we\u2019re going to answer some common questions around your heating timing so you can get it right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can come to our team for your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.resheatandair.com\/service-areas\/mn\/st-louis-park\/heating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heater service in St. Louis Park, MN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, because we\u2019re trained and experienced professionals.

We make sure that we get things right the first time because we value your time and care about your comfort.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Often Should the Furnace be Cleaned?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should clean your home\u2019s furnace once annually. We recommend that you get furnace maintenance once every single fall season. We like to compare heating maintenance for a heater to oil changes for a car. You get your car\u2019s oil changed once about every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. You do this to keep your car in working order so that it can get you where you need to go safely. This same logic should apply to your heater. Obviously, you can\u2019t get your heater serviced by the mileage. This is why we suggest getting your heater serviced once every fall season. This will keep your heater in top working order.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Should I Get My Furnace Cleaned?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve covered the \u201chow,\u201d so now let\u2019s talk about the \u201cwhy.\u201d An annual furnace inspection and cleaning is a great investment because it gets you better heating when you need it, reduces health risks like potential carbon monoxide poisoning, and can even get your home\u2019s heater to last the full 10-15 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So many of the calls we receive for breakdowns and severe heating repair issues could have been prevented by regular maintenance. A heater that\u2019s left unserviced is bad news. You\u2019re only putting your comfort and safety at risk. Maintaining your system will help you in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Should I Look for When Hiring an HVAC Company in St Louis Park?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that hiring an HVAC company in St. Louis park can quickly become overwhelming.
