Your furnace works hard every winter to keep your home warm and comfortable, so it’s important to maintain it properly and have it serviced by an HVAC contractor regularly. But how long is regularly, you ask? While we recommend your furnace be serviced in both the spring and fall, it should at least be serviced once a year.
The Importance of Furnace Maintenance
- Safety: if your furnace has a leak in the exhaust pipe, you could be exposed to carbon monoxide emissions.
- Prolong your system’s longevity: regular furnace maintenance will help extend the life of your furnace so you can get the most out of it.
- Lower your heating costs: overtime, the efficiency of your furnace will dwindle, leading to a rise in heating costs. HVAC technicians will check all of the components in your furnace, test them, and make sure they’re all working safely and efficiently.
- Reduce furnace breakdowns: 90% of furnace breakdowns are traced back to lack of maintenance. Avoid unexpected furnace breakdowns in the dead of winter with Vanport Mechanical.
- Catch furnace problems early: during maintenance, your HVAC technician will inspect the wiring, lubricate worn parts, and recommend the need for any furnace repairs.They’ll also remove debris, dust, and dander that may be lodged inside.
