Why Furnace Maintenance Is A Must For Every Homeowner

Although it may be tempting to skip regular furnace maintenance, there are too many benefits for your furnace to ignore. Some of these benefits include but are not limited to:

• Improved household safety

• Lower monthly utility bills

• Better, general system efficiency and functionality

• Cost savings on repairs and prolonged life of your system.

• Lower chance of equipment breakdowns

One of the main reasons for regular furnace check-ups is for safety, as we can help detect the dangers of gas and carbon monoxide leaks. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that can be fatal if inhaled in large concentrations. This is a potential safety risk but a regular check up will give you peace of mind that your family will be safe.

Another important aspect is energy efficiency. When operating properly, a furnace will run more smoothly leading to lower energy bills. However, when it is not maintained, it will lose efficiency due to dirty filters, clogged air ducts and many other potential issues.

Staying on top of regular maintenance will extend the life of your unit and save you money in long run. A unit that has been regularly serviced will last longer than one that has been not. With regular maintenance, we can catch minor issues early before they become major ones. This could save you thousands of dollars in the long run.

Finally, furnace maintenance will help catch a problem before your furnace quits working in the middle of the night. When you have to hire a heating professional due to a furnace breaking down, you’re likely going to end up paying emergency rates, but regular furnace maintenance will save you the cost and stress!
