Repair & Troubleshooting FAQ
How often should I get a heating tune-up?
Most manufacturers recommend annual maintenance for optimal performance – ideally before the start of the heating season. A yearly tune-up keeps your furnace, boiler, or heat pump running efficiently and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.
What’s included in a professional tune-up?
A professional tune-up includes inspecting key components, checking electrical connections, cleaning internal parts, testing airflow, calibrating the thermostat, and ensuring your heating system is operating safely and efficiently.
Why is heating maintenance important if my system seems fine?
Even if your system appears to be working fine, internal parts can wear down or become dirty over time. Regular tune-ups help recognize small issues early and extend your system’s lifespan, reducing the chances of a costly and unexpected repair.
Is a heating tune-up the same as a repair visit?
No. Maintenance is preventative, while repairs fix a specific issue. However, your Mallick technician will notify you if they find anything that needs repairing during the tune-up and present the best path forward.
