When winter temperatures plummet across Westmoreland County, your home’s heating system becomes your first line of defense against the bitter cold. At Donahue’s Heating & Cooling, we understand how crucial it is to maintain your heating system’s efficiency throughout the season.
Signs Your Heating System Needs Professional Attention
Watch for these warning signals:
• Unusual noises during operation
• Inconsistent heating throughout your home
• Unexpectedly high energy bills
• Strange odors when the system runs
• Frequent cycling on and off
Preventative Maintenance Matters
Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during the coldest months. Whether you’re in Greensburg, Irwin, or anywhere in our service area, scheduling routine inspections can save you money and hassle in the long run.
When to Consider Furnace Replacement
Most heating systems last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching this age range, consider these factors:
• Repair costs becoming more frequent
• System efficiency declining
• Heating bills steadily increasing
• Parts becoming harder to find
• Uneven heating throughout your home
