Heating maintenance in Hesse

Regular maintenance ensures efficient operation and extends the life of your heating.

Why is heating maintenance so important?

A heating system that isn't regularly maintained gradually loses efficiency. Deposits in the burner, dirty heat exchangers and incorrectly set heating curves can increase energy consumption by up to 15%. At the same time the risk of sudden failures rises — especially when you can least afford it: in deepest winter.

Beyond that, almost all manufacturers require annual maintenance as a condition for keeping the warranty. Many insurers also demand proof of regular maintenance in case of damage. With professional heating maintenance from Aurora Haustechnik you protect yourself in several ways: save energy, avoid expensive repairs and secure your warranty claims.

What does heating maintenance include? – Checklist

For every maintenance we work through a comprehensive checklist so no detail is missed:

  • Visual inspection of the entire system — check the condition of pipes, connections and casings
  • Cleaning the burner and heat exchanger — remove combustion residues for optimal heat transfer
  • Inspection of all safety devices — test safety valves, expansion vessel and overheat protection
  • Flue-gas measurement per BImSchV — measure and document CO content, flue-gas temperature and combustion quality
  • Check and optimise heating curve — adjust settings to current usage and the building
  • Check water pressure and level — top up heating water and correct pressure as needed
  • Inspect circulation pump and controls — verify function, flow rate and power consumption
  • Maintenance log with all readings — complete documentation for your records, the chimney sweep and the insurance

Gas heating maintenance

Gas heating is still very common in Hesse. When servicing a gas thermal unit or condensing boiler we pay particular attention to burner adjustment, gas-line tightness and condensate drainage. Dirty burners on gas units quickly lead to higher CO emissions and rising consumption. We thoroughly clean the burner, check the ignition electrodes and adjust combustion so your unit runs in the optimal range. The legally required flue-gas measurement is performed during the maintenance.

Oil heating maintenance

Oil heating requires special attention to the nozzle, oil filter element and combustion chamber. Soot deposits in the heat exchanger reduce efficiency more sharply than on comparable gas units. We replace the burner nozzle, change the oil filter, clean the combustion chamber and heat exchanger and tune combustion precisely. This way your oil heating remains economical and reliable — even if a replacement is years away.

Heat pump maintenance

Heat pumps also need regular care, even though they have no burner. When servicing an air-to-water or brine-to-water heat pump we check the refrigerant circuit for leaks, inspect the evaporator and clean the outdoor unit of leaves and dirt. We also measure the seasonal performance factor and compare it with manufacturer specs — that way we spot efficiency drops early. Electronic controls and sensors are checked too so your heat pump runs reliably and efficiently.

Frequently asked questions

What does heating maintenance cost?

Costs depend on the type and age of your heating. Maintenance for a standard gas heating starts at approx. €150 with us. For oil heating or heat pumps the effort can be slightly higher. We are happy to give you a binding quote in advance — without hidden costs.

How often should heating be serviced?

Once a year is the recommended rhythm — ideally before the heating season starts in late summer or early autumn. That way you enter the cold season safely and efficiently. For older systems or after a fault, an additional inspection can also be useful.

Is heating maintenance mandatory?

For gas and oil heating systems, the Federal Emission Control Ordinance (BImSchV) requires regular flue-gas measurements. In addition, most manufacturers require annual maintenance as a warranty condition. Building insurers may also demand proof of maintenance in case of damage. Regular maintenance is therefore strongly recommended.

What is included in a heating service?

A complete heating service includes visual inspection, cleaning of burner and heat exchanger, inspection of all safety devices, flue-gas measurement, check of heating curve, water pressure and circulation pump as well as creation of a maintenance log. Details are listed in our checklist above on this page.

Do you also service heat pumps?

Yes, we service all common heat pump types — air-to-water, brine-to-water and water-to-water. The maintenance includes leak testing of the refrigerant circuit, cleaning the outdoor unit and checking the seasonal performance factor. This keeps your heat pump efficient and long-lasting.

What's the benefit of a maintenance contract?

With a maintenance contract you secure a fixed annual price, automatic appointment reminders and priority handling for faults. You don't have to worry about anything — we get in touch in good time to schedule the maintenance. In the long run you save through predictable costs and early fault detection.
