When is the last time you had professional furnace maintenance completed? Whether it’s been a few months or a few years, it’s important to ensure your furnace is getting the care and attention it deserves to ensure maximum comfortability.

During the cooler months, we rely on our home’s furnaces more than ever. Due to this expected increase in daily use, you must have routine furnace maintenance completed before the colder months arrive.

Before we talk specifics, it’s important to understand how often you should have furnace maintenance. All furnace manufacturers recommend annual maintenance to be performed by a certified, professional, and experienced technician. Not only does yearly maintenance ensure your furnace is ready to be used whenever you need it, but it also ensures your furnace issues will be caught before they cause a major headache.

Our furnace maintenance experts will check the following with your furnace’s system:

  • Airflow
  • Electrical connections
  • Gas line
  • Corrosion
  • Sensors
  • Condensate drain clogs
  • Heat exchangers
  • Safety controls
  • Burners
  • And more

Not only does furnace maintenance ensure reliability, but it also ensures efficiency. A yearly check-up keeps your bill affordable while keeping your home comfortable!

Why You Should Never Skip Furnace Maintenance Services

While furnace maintenance is always recommended, very few people take it seriously. Whether you’ve been ignoring having routine services performed or simply don’t view maintenance as a necessity, it’s important to understand why you should never skip maintenance services.

Some benefits of professional furnace maintenance include:

1. Keep Your Energy Bill Low

On average, your furnace can contribute to up to 50% of your energy bill. To keep things affordable, regular maintenance is key. Our routine furnace maintenance is designed to save you as much as 30% on your monthly energy bills – especially when programmed correctly.

2. Protect Your Family’s Health and Safety

Whether members of your family deal with severe allergies or asthmatic conditions, a dirty furnace may things worse. Found in your home’s air ducts, vents, and filters, the likes of pet danger, dust, and other microorganisms can contribute to an unhealthy environment.

Additionally, routine furnace maintenance protects your home and family from experiencing any type of gas or carbon monoxide leak. These types of leaks can be very dangerous and even deadly. Having routine maintenance will catch any early signs of leaks and gives you the peace of mind knowing your furnace is working properly.

A properly working furnace is key to keeping your family safe, warm, and happy during the winter months. Be sure to have your furnace checked before the winter months kick in, so our team can help make sure everything is good to go!

3. Extend Lifespan of your Furnace

On average, furnaces can last around 15 – 20 years. To get the most of your home’s furnace, routine maintenance is needed. When maintained properly by professionals, you can increase the lifespan of your unit. This not only reduces the cost of repairs needed throughout the year but also saves you from having to purchase a new furnace sooner than needed.

If you hope to rely on your furnace’s manufacturer’s warranty in the future, regular furnace maintenance is critical. With most furnaces, you can expect a manufacturer’s warranty that covers you up to 10 years. If you have a repair that is needed, your warranty should take care of the cost as long as you’re able to prove you’ve been taking care of the unit. With our services, you’ll have the records needed to prove you’ve been doing so.
