Maintenance for your heater is important for two major reasons. First, it highly decreases the likelihood of experiencing a major breakdown, especially when that maintenance is performed shortly before the start and after the end of the cold season. A major breakdown can potentially costs thousands to repair or replace, while minor maintenance repairs cost very little.

The second reason to keep your heater well maintained is efficiency. A well maintained heater offers better efficiency in terms of energy costs. This can result in hundreds of dollars of saving each year on utilities. In fact, for many customers, yearly maintenance costs less than the amount they save on heating and energy costs.
