When to Consider Heater Replacement

After working on heaters for several years, our team and other industry professionals urge homeowners to have their heaters replaced every 10 to 20 years.

This ensures a working unit and will require less attention, as everything will be new.

Modern systems come with advanced features that offer better temperature control and comfort options tailored to diverse environments.

Local Climate Considerations for Heating Systems

In Santa Fe, residents experience a unique climate that blends arid desert conditions with cold winter nights, making efficient heater functioning crucial. Local weather patterns often see significant temperature drops at night, even after a warm day. This fluctuation can strain heating systems if not properly maintained. Ensuring your heater is functionally optimized for this climate is essential to maintaining a comfortable home environment. Our services consider Santa Fe's specific climate considerations, providing tailored maintenance and repair solutions.

Additionally, Santa Fe's altitude can also influence heating efficiency. At such high elevations, air is thinner, which can affect the performance of older heating systems. By consulting us, Capitol Contractors can evaluate your current system's efficacy and suggest improvements or upgrades necessary to accommodate these environmental factors. Performing regular checks and professional assessments helps ensure your heater remains fully operational and energy efficient, no matter the time of year.

The Importance of Regular Heating Maintenance

Regular heating maintenance is vital for sustaining system performance and extending the life of your equipment. By enlisting professional maintenance services, issues such as wear and tear, corrosion, or dirty components can be tackled before escalating into costly repairs. Our maintenance services support this approach through comprehensive inspections, cleaning, and calibrating your heating systems. This proactive attention not only ensures reliability during colder months but results in significant savings on utility bills due to enhanced efficiency.

Regular maintenance also plays a pivotal role in sustaining indoor air quality. Through thorough inspections, our team can help prevent the accumulation of dust, allergens, and other pollutants that can build up in heating ducts and influence the health of your household. By committing to routine maintenance checks, you can safeguard your heating system's performance and create a healthier indoor atmosphere for your family.

FAQs About Heater Repair

How Often Should I Get My Heater Serviced?

For optimal performance, it is recommended that heaters in Santa Fe undergo professional maintenance at least once a year. This routine check ensures your system is ready for winter, catching potential issues before they cause a breakdown. Regular service appointments can help extend the lifespan of your system and enhance its efficiency, especially given Santa Fe's unique climate challenges. Our maintenance services include thorough inspections, filter changes, and safety checks vital for a seamless heating experience throughout the colder months.

Why Is My Heater Making Unusual Noises?

Banging, rattling, or squeaking sounds from your heater can indicate mechanical issues, airflow obstructions, or failing components. These noises should not be ignored, as they can signal underlying problems such as motor failure, loose fittings, or air duct issues. Addressing these sounds early can prevent more extensive damage or system failure. Our team can quickly diagnose the exact cause and provide the necessary repairs to restore quiet, efficient operation.

How Can I Improve My Heater's Efficiency?

Improving your heater's efficiency often involves routine maintenance, checking insulation, and possibly upgrading to a high-efficiency system. Regular filter changes, ensuring sealed ductwork, and using smart thermostats effectively enhance efficiency. Our professionals provide comprehensive maintenance services tailored to improving your system's performance, ultimately contributing to lower energy costs and increased indoor comfort.

    "Excellent work"
    Our heat went out late Saturday night - We called Capitol Plumbing and the crew, two men, Xavier and Alex, were here early Sunday morning. The furnace was removed and by 6:00 pm the new furnace was up and working - The heat was on and the house warmed up quite fast. Xavier and Alex were friendly and worked very efficiently replacing the old furnace. They were very helpful and informative and explained everything about the new furnace and answered all our questions. When crew had completed the job, they waited until the temperature was up to the degrees necessary for furnace to work. Thank you for a job well-done and I would recommend Capitol Plumbing and Heating in Santa Fe to anyone who needs plumbing work done. Thank you, we are once again warm and cozy.

    "Emergency service was also quick and efficient and very Professional."
    Xavior, arrived at a much needed time to fix our leak. He was fast to detect the leak and addressed the situation in a professional manner. It was late and after hours but he was not hurried and explained what happened, what he did and what has yet to be done. If you are not using them or need good service we recommend them, they responded among the many we tried to reach, so they will have our business for some time to come. Thank you for relieving our problem and minds.

    "Service with humor!"
    After being stood up by another plumber we called Paul's Plumbing & Heating, Inc. They contacted Xavier and Beto from Capitol Plumbing and Heating who fixed our outdoor faucet, which would not turn off. Xavier explained everything and showed us the process. He was professional, witty, and patient with my questions. I highly recommend them and am also impressed Paul's Plumbing contacted them since they didn't have any available crews. Both companies have customers' best interests in mind.

    "Very happy with Xavior and Capitol"
    My kitchen sink x2 was hopelessly plugged up. Filthy water that had backed up was just sitting there. That is so unhealthy. I called Capitol this morning and they said they'd send out a serviceman in a couple of hours, which they did. Xavior came by and did a great job. He was polite, knowledgeable, smart and neat....no mess left behind for me! And best of all, the drains are running perfectly! Capitol has also installed my furnace and water tank, all within the last year or so (3/2021). And I am VERY pleased with that result as well....thanks to Adrian for that....great job.
    - Xavior did a great job
    "$1200.00"
    Both Tomas and Xavier Martinez were prompt and courteous. They went beyond what was a leaking hot water valve. After replacing the valve and water line hose, they checked the boiler system and found it was not properly operating and took care of it for us. We were thankful for their thoroughness and quick service.

    "Excellent friendly knowledgeable service."
    Had them install a complete new system for heating water and and radiant heat system. Went to a tankless hot water system. They worked very efficiently and wasted no time installing the system. Workers were friendly and explained everything about the equipment and answered my questions since I was not familiar with the tankless hot water system and the radiant heat used in homes. They hauled away the old tank and boiler and a soft water system that was out dated. It took about two days but the water was only off for part of the first day and we had hot water that night for showering. Over all a very positive experience and I would highly recommend Capitol Plumbing & Heating of Santa Fe for all your plumbing needs.
