IS YEARLY FURNACE MAINTENANCE NECESSARY?

01/31/2023

A common question we get asked is whether yearly furnace maintenance is necessary or not. The simple answer is: Yes, we highly recommend it. It’s important not only to cut down on the cost of energy and expenses but also to improve the performance of the furnace. And in part, you keep your family safe and reduce your utility bill.

What Can Happen If I Don’t Get Annual Furnace Inspection?

Oftentimes, the most common emergency heating problem is usually due to customers waiting until the furnace breaks down. You end up creating an unsafe environment for you and your family members or tenants by ignoring the recommended annual maintenance.

The main purpose of annual maintenance is to ensure that your furnace is operating safely, efficiently, and effectively. When one of our experienced technicians arrives to inspect your furnace, they will check for leaks, clogs, or wear and tear. Generally, when these minor issues are maintained, you are likely to extend the lifespan of your furnace and minimize potential dangers.

There are several things that can happen when you don’t have your furnace maintained and inspected annually:

Safety concerns: Without checking annually, carbon monoxide leaks may go undetected. Reduce this safety hazard and keep you and your family safe!
Lacks efficiency: Take care of your furnace and the furnace will take care of you. Make sure it’s running at its best to keep your home nice and warm.
Lifespan shortened: As small problems add up, you’ll be left with frequent and costly repairs or replacements.
Always check your warranty: There are some furnace manufacturers that require yearly maintenance to ensure your warranty is valid.

Is It Really Necessary To Get Annual Furnace Maintenance?

Scheduling regular, annual furnace maintenance is the best way to make sure your family is safe and warm during the colder months. In the long run, ensuring that your furnace is running efficiently will cut down on your utility expenses and keep the furnace performing optimally.

One thing you can do before the cold sets in and when it begins to warm up again is to check your air filter. Cleaning the filter or replacing it when necessary will significantly enhance the efficiency of your furnace.

Yes! We Really Do Recommend Yearly Furnace Upkeep

Think of it like this. The furnace keeps you warm, almost non-stop during the colder months. Without it, your household would be shivering and irritable. Furnaces work hard to keep you cozy so once a year, gift it a spa day for all of its hard work.
