Benefits of Regular Furnace Maintenance
We can never emphasize the importance of a homeowner utilizing seasonal maintenance for their furnace too much. As such, below is a list of a few of the highlighted benefits. These are things you should take into consideration to properly take care for your HVAC equipment.
Below are 4 benefits of scheduling routine maintenance with a certified professional technician:
Safety Issues
Most of the heating systems we work on are fueled by natural gas. Furnaces or heat systems that utilize natural gas are far more unpredictable and dangerous when they aren’t being inspected and serviced on a regular basis. During a furnace maintenance inspection, our top-notch technicians will check your gas line and heat exchanger to see if there’s any sort of carbon monoxide leakage. If we find anything off with a furnace or heating system, we notify the customer, explain the issue, and look at all of their options. If you have an electric furnace, be mindful, the wiring can often be a safety issue. Old or faulty wiring can cause electrical fires and other problems.
Prevents Breakdowns
An estimated 85% of the repairs done on furnace breakdowns can be linked to inadequate maintenance. This is why having maintenance done on schedule prevents the vast majority of the repairs a homeowner will otherwise have to deal with.
Reduces Heating Costs
Over time, wear and tear from the strain of operating and dust and dirt build-up in and around HVAC equipment. This compromises their system’s efficiency as they need more power than before to keep it going. When a homeowner consistently maintains heating equipment, they elude this continuously costly spike in your utility costs. A cared-for system that’s loved runs at its best, as it should, and shares that love right back in relief in its bills.
Prolonging Lifespan
The best way to guarantee a furnace stays useful for as long as possible is via standard seasonal maintenance. Without proper maintenance, furnaces last half as long as they should according to furnace manufacturers. So that’s another thing to keep in mind: Installing a whole new system sooner than is necessary costs far more than any maintenance visit you will ever have to make.
How to Replace a Furnace Air Filter
Replacing your furnace filter is probably the easiest and fastest way to maximize the efficiency of your home heating system, especially if it’s dirty. Changing furnace filters is a lot easier than most people think too. From start to finish, the whole process should take a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes. Check which filter your furnace currently is using, then purchase a replacement from a local hardware store, or call us for replacement air filters!
After you have the replacement filter, all you need to do is go through these straightforward steps:
- Turn off your furnace
- Find and locate your furnace filter
- Determine the size of your air filter
- Remove the old filter
- Insert the new filter
- Return furnace to “on” position
