We\u2019re well into fall and here in Montana, you\u2019ve probably been using your heating system for a few weeks. By now, you should have a good idea of how your heating system is doing. How confident do you feel about its ability to get you through our harsh winters? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an easy way to determine how well your heating system is doing: give it a report card! Consider its performance up until now and assign it a grade from \u201cA\u201d to \u201cF\u201d using our grading scale below. If it hasn\u2019t been the best student, schedule heater repair<\/a> or maintenance now to ensure it’s ready for the remainder of the season. You can also follow 3 heating tips to keep in mind<\/a> for better system performance as temperatures drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My Heater Is An \u201cA\u201d Student!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Excellent! We\u2019re glad your heater gets a gold star for its performance. A heater that warrants an \u201cA\u201d heats your home quickly and efficiently without any pockets of cool air or exorbitantly high heating bills. You\u2019ve probably kept up with regular annual maintenance appointments which earns you<\/em> a gold star as well! Keep it up, because the fastest way off the honor roll is to skip this essential service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heater Earns a Solid \u201cB\u201d Grade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Very good! So far your heater is doing a commendable job of keeping your home comfortable. However, a \u201cB\u201d certainly isn\u2019t an \u201cA,\u201d so what held you back from giving your heater the \u201cA\u201d grade? Perhaps you haven\u2019t scheduled annual maintenance yet which is necessary to keep a heating system in tip-top shape. While a \u201cB\u201d grade doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it needs a service call, definitely be vigilant in the coming months and call us if it slips into the average zone. Learn more about 3 great benefits of heater maintenance<\/a> to stay ahead of potential issues and improve efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heater Gets a \u201cC\u201d for Concerned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh no! In Montana, a score of only average this early in the heating season is putting the \u201cC\u201d in Cause for Concern. There\u2019s definitely room for improvement here. Is your heater making some unusual sounds? Does it seem like it\u2019s taking forever to reach the temp on the thermostat? If you\u2019re noticing cold zones in your home, check if you\u2019re dealing with cold spots<\/a> to identify potential airflow or insulation problems.
Have you skipped its annual tune-up or is it at the end of its lifespan? Take this mediocre grade as a wake-up call that it\u2019s time to call us to come take a look. It might only need a tune-up or minor repair to get it back to being an \u201cA\u201d student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heater is Barely Passing With a \u201cD\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not good! A barely passing grade is not acceptable in Montana, even if you have a backup heating system such as a fireplace you\u2019ve possibly been relying on. Perhaps the airflow is weak or the temperature of the air is cool or lukewarm instead of hot. Although your heater is barely working, don\u2019t despair. Give us a call and we\u2019ll see what we can do to boost its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Heater Gets an \u201cF\u201d and I\u2019m Freezing!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh dear! If your heater is failing to heat your home or even worse\u2013won\u2019t turn on at all\u2013call us ASAP to schedule service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
