Why A Yearly Furnace Inspection Is Necessary!

There has been a lot of buzz about furnace maintenance. The truth is it’s a no brainer. Your furnace needs to be checked at least once every year to ensure that it is in proper functioning condition. In fact, furnace manufacturers themselves recommend annual inspections as well as maintenance by a technician. In addition, their warranty terms are clear about damage that is caused by improper maintenance. In most cases, furnace checks and maintenance are done before the onset of winter. In fact, cooling companies will send you messages at times reminding you to schedule a furnace tune up. However, have you ever stopped to think about the real benefits of having your furnace checked every year?

Less repairs, less money spent!

Having your furnace checked by heating professionals promotes proper flow of air in the unit. This is because the venting system is crucial in the distribution of heat in your household. Generally, limited or restricted airflow causes unnecessary strain on the furnace leading to a shortened lifespan and increased repairs. Moreover, with increased strain, you will not be able to attain the desired temperature. Having an annual furnace check can help you save on replacing parts or even complete failure of the system. Having a technician check your furnace significantly reduces the number of furnace repairs that you could have possibly done. Some heating problems can easily be averted through checkups. This is because the checkups include cleaning the furnace as well as fixing any small problems before they turn into major problems. Remember, your furnace works overtime during winter due to the enormous demand of warming the home and this eventually results in system failure if a checkup is not done on time.

Don’t wait for your furnace to break, keep it running efficiently!

One of the best things about performing a maintenance inspection on your heating system before winter rolls in is that you’ll be able to catch the smaller malfunctions before they become big problems. A small furnace repair is far cheaper and far easier to take care of than an entire furnace overhaul. By providing your furnace with a maintenance checkup throughout the year, but especially as autumn trickles in, you can keep your furnace going strong for years. In addition to saving money, making a small furnace repair here and there because of something you caught during a maintenance inspection will also help to you and your family safe. Larger amounts of damage such as a cracked heat exchanger can very well lead to a carbon monoxide leak. Quick repairs made due to early detection will help keep your furnace functioning and your family safe from dangerous gases.

Spend less on your energy bill!

Without routine cleaning and maintenance, your furnace can eat away at your utility bill because it’s overworking itself when it shouldn’t have to. Before you turn your furnace on to warm your home, clean out its filters which have been collecting dust all summer. The last thing you need during cold season is a summer’s worth of pet dander giving you a respiratory illness in addition after you finally get rid of your cold! Cleaning your filters also improves energy efficiency because it makes the air ducts of your home easier for the warm air to move through. Getting a tune up on your furnace in the late summer or early autumn can also help contribute to energy efficiency and generally longer furnace life. A furnace tune up every year could make your furnace last as long as 20 years. That’s as long as a home’s roof!

Having furnace repair services take a look at your furnace every year is a great idea. But it’s also a great idea to have your furnace checked out right before winter when it’s been out of use for a while. Not only will it improve your furnace’s general efficiency, but it can also help protect your family against leakages and dust.
