Winter is fast approaching, which means it’s time for homeowners to turn on their heating systems. They’re a vital part of keeping warm, but since they’re only used a few months out of the year, a maintenance check must be part of your pre-winter home inspection. 

San Antonio, Texas-based I.C IT Home Inspection offers top-to-bottom property inspection services, so if you own a home with an expiring builder’s warranty, it’s time to take advantage of their high-quality services. Here, they explain why you need to get your heating system checked before winter.

First, most homeowners let their heating systems sit for nine or ten months out of the year without a second glance at them. Then, they wonder why the system doesn’t function properly when it’s turned on. Without a proper home inspection, it’s nearly impossible to know. 

Problems with heating systems can stem from various sources, including the power source, gas source, and ignition. It might not even be the heating system itself but a broken thermostat that keeps it from functioning properly, leaving you with a lack of control. A qualified home inspector will be able to locate these issues at their source and do the work necessary to solve them and get your system up and running again. 

Whatever you do, don’t attempt to complete your home inspection alone. Heating systems make use of both gas and electrical power, so you could be putting yourself at great risk. A professional knows how to check every part of your system safely and efficiently, maximizing its power and keeping your home warm all winter.
