4 Tips For Heater Repair and Service This Winter

As the leaves turn and the mercury dips, homeowners in Nevada City face the annual challenge of keeping the chill at bay. Your home’s sanctuary of warmth is no accident—it’s the result of a well-maintained heater. As the experts at Baehr Heating & Air, we know the value of preparation and prevention when it comes to your heating system and avoiding a need for furnace repair in Nevada City, CA. Let’s examine four crucial aspects to guarantee that your heater provides dependable warmth throughout the winter season.

Pre-Winter Warm-Up: Ensuring Your Heater's Health

Before winter’s frosty grip tightens, a pre-winter check-up for your heater isn’t just recommended—it’s essential. The first frost of the year is too late to discover that your heating system has gone on holiday. Servicing your heater beforehand can preempt the inconvenience and expense of a mid-winter breakdown. Here’s how Baehr Heating & Air ensures your heater is up to the task:

Inspection and Cleaning

Just like an annual physical, your heater needs a regular checkup. We scrutinize every component, from burners to blowers.

Filter Replacement

A fresh filter is like a breath of fresh air for your heater—it ensures efficiency and longevity.

Calibration

Precision tuning of your system can make all the difference in its operation, ensuring it runs when and how it should.

The Breath of Your Home: Maximizing Heater Safety and Air Quality

Your heater does more than keep you warm; it breathes life into your home. But with every breath, comes a responsibility to ensure the air circulating through your rooms is clean and safe. At Baehr Heating & Air, we’re committed to making your home’s air as pristine as the Sierra Nevada’s. Here’s how:

Carbon Monoxide Checks

A silent intruder, carbon monoxide can be a danger in homes with faulty heaters. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure the safety of your family.

Ductwork Assessment

Compromised ducts aren’t just a loss of efficiency; they’re a potential health risk. Sealing and insulating ducts keep the good in and the bad out.

Regular Maintenance

To maximize both safety and quality, a routine heating repair service in Nevada City, CA, is vital to clear out any accumulated debris or dust that might compromise air quality.

Thermostat Thoroughness: The Heartbeat of Home Heating

The thermostat acts as the control hub for your home’s heating system, coordinating warmth and comfort. It’s also the mainstay of energy efficiency. Here’s why thermostat maintenance is a must:

Upgrades and Updates

Modern programmable thermostats can cut down your energy bill while keeping your home toasty.

Diagnostic Runs

Testing your thermostat’s accuracy can reveal heating issues before they escalate into costly furnace repair in Nevada City, CA.

User Education

Knowing how to use your thermostat effectively is just as crucial as the technology itself.

Year-Round Comfort: The Value of a Robust HVAC Service Plan

Your heater’s reliability is a year-round commitment that pays dividends during winter. The truth is, regular furnace repair in Nevada City isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about preventing breakdowns before they happen. Here’s the Baehr Heating & Air approach to service plans:

      We recently had our heating and a/c system replaced by the team from Baehr.  They were absolutely fantastic to work with.  Alex gave us lots of options to think about and also guided us through the pros and cons of each one. They were very professional and courteous throughout the process.  We highly recommend Alex, John and the whole team from Baehr.

      The owner came out himself to check out my radiant floors which I already thought was cool. When he looked at them he came to the conclusion that the zone control modules were probably shot. He told me that if I am comfortable changing them myself Id save some money, I agreed. He gave me some pointers on how to do it and the website on which I could find the products. That was 1 year ago, I finally got around to changing them and now my radiant floors work like new. Thank you guys for helping and being thoughtful. And most importantly being right.

      Props to Jay and his company! Although they were super busy and had to reschedule my appointment, it was worth the wait. He knew exactly what he was working with and got my heater working properly again. The previous company that came out (South Placer Heating and Air) gave me a wrong diagnosis for the issue and then tried to convince me I needed to replace the heat exchange or the entire HVAC unit! Thank goodness I got a second opinion, and landed someone honest. Jay saved me big time.

      Honest and reliable business. Both Johnny and Jay care about their customers and the community. They have our best interests at heart, and I highly recommend them! If I have an HVAC issue again, I know who to call. Did I mention Jay showed up on his day off when an emergency repair came up and we needed to reschedule? These guys are a stop shop. They have all the next steps available and genuinely care. Awesome front desk as well.
