Heating maintenance: What you need to know

The Association of Private Building Owners (VPB) recommends that property owners have their heating system serviced in good time before the cold season begins. According to the Building Energy Act, regular maintenance is mandatory. However, how often this must be carried out remains undefined. Annual heating maintenance is nevertheless advisable. This is because it is not only important for the energy efficiency of the system, but is often also a prerequisite for warranty services from the manufacturer.

Professional heating maintenance involves several steps, including a visual inspection and replacement of wearing parts, cleaning the burners and checking the exhaust gas values and water pressure. Depending on the heating system - whether oil, gas, pellets or heat pump - additional, specific checks are required. If you want to be sure that the system is operating safely and with low emissions, you should leave the maintenance to a qualified specialist company.

Many specialist companies offer maintenance contracts that ensure regular maintenance of the heating system. Owners should ensure that the contract clearly defines not only the exact maintenance services and intervals, but also the costs and liability regulations. Such an agreement provides protection in the event of breakdowns or damage caused by inadequate maintenance.
