What To Do After Installing a New Heating System
If you recently had a new heating system installed in your home, there are some steps you can take to help protect its longevity. C&C Service will send a professional to complete the installation and run diagnostics to make sure the system functions properly. Here are some things to do after a new heating system installation:
Turn It on and Test the Settings
Turning on the heater after a heating system installation helps make sure it has been appropriately connected and receives power. Completing diagnostic tests early helps identify issues quickly, which could prevent problems in the future. During the installation process, C&C Service contractors test the system’s functioning to verify all parts are working. Some tests include:
- Thermostat: Testing different thermostat settings confirms that the sensors receive the signal to turn on the system and your home reaches the programmed temperature.
- Fan: Turning on the blower fan establishes that heat consistently exits vents throughout the home.
- Connection points: Technicians review electrical and gas connection points to make sure there are no leaks or fire hazards when the system is running or idle.
Check the Vents
Checking that your vents are open and unobstructed helps disperse heat throughout your home. Clear any debris or objects around vents, as this can block airflow and lead to uneven heating. Many technicians also recommend keeping the furnace area clean of dust and clutter. Dust may clog the sensors that help the heating system run efficiently, while clutter can be a fire hazard.
Conduct Regular At-Home Maintenance
Completing regular maintenance tasks at home helps increase the longevity of your new heating system. Our installation team will review model-specific tasks with you to promote the health of your heating system. Most systems require air filters that prevent excessive dust and particles from passing through your heating system and circulating through the home. These should be changed every one to three months, as clogged air filters can impact the airflow and air quality in your home.
Schedule Regular Professional Maintenance
After C&C Service completes a new heater installation, schedule seasonal maintenance and tune-ups to verify your heater is working correctly and prepared to withstand the cold months. Experts check heater parts, like the fan and the motor, to make sure they work as expected. They can also clean your system to help prevent future costly mechanical problems. Service technicians also monitor performance and make any necessary adjustments to thermostat functions or part placement.
