It’s that time of year again summer is almost over, and soon the leaves will be changing color and falling off the trees, the days will get shorter, and the temperature will start dropping. That means it’s time to schedule your heating maintenance! Many people wait until their furnace stops working before they schedule a repair, but this can be costly and inconvenient. Regular maintenance will help keep your furnace running smoothly and prevent expensive repairs down the road. In this blog, we will talk about the importance of putting heating maintenance on your to-do list as we head into Fall!
At Express Tech Air, we are huge advocates of having regular maintenance done to your furnace and even your HVAC system as a whole. There are many reasons why you should schedule your heating maintenance now, so let’s take a deeper look!
One of the best reasons to schedule regular maintenance is that it helps your furnace run more efficiently. Over time, wear and tear, loose connections and wiring, worn belts, dirt and dust buildup, and dirty filters can occur within your furnace. And all of these issues diminish your furnace’s energy efficiency. If your furnace is having any of these issues, it is forced to expend more energy to do its normal job, which in turn costs you extra money.
When you schedule your heating maintenance, your HVAC technician will perform a thorough inspection of your furnace and clean all the parts that need to be cleaned. This will help your furnace run more efficiently and hopefully lower your heating bills!
To piggyback off of the previous point, having regular heating maintenance also helps to prevent costly furnace repairs. As we mentioned, over time, different parts of your furnace will start to wear down and have issues. If these issues are not caught early on, they can turn into much bigger problems that will be very expensive to repair.
For example, if a small wiring issue is not caught and fixed during maintenance, it could turn into a big problem later on that could cause your furnace to overheat or even catch fire. Or, if a dirty filter is not replaced, it could cause your furnace to overheat and break down. Replacing a furnace can be very expensive, so it is much better to schedule regular maintenance and catch any issues before they turn into big problems.
Another great reason to schedule your heating maintenance is that it helps extend your furnace’s lifespan. Just like with any machine, the more you take care of it and maintain it, the longer it will last.
If you neglect your furnace and never have it serviced, it will start to break down much sooner than if you had kept up with regular maintenance. In addition, when you schedule your heating maintenance, your technician will be able to catch any small issues before they turn into big problems that could cause your furnace to break down.
Not only does regular maintenance help to increase your furnace’s efficiency, but it also helps to improve its performance overall. A furnace that is well-maintained will heat your home more evenly and effectively than a furnace that is not. This means you and your family will be more comfortable in your home during the colder months!
Another reason we recommend having regular heating maintenance is that it helps to improve your indoor air quality. Over time, furnaces can start to circulate dust, dirt, and other pollutants around your home if they are not properly maintained. This can cause respiratory problems for you and your family, so it is important to have regular maintenance done to help improve your indoor air quality.
If you wait until your furnace breaks down to schedule a repair, you may be faced with a very costly repair bill. But if you schedule regular maintenance, your HVAC technician can catch any small issues before they turn into big (and expensive) problems. Not only will this save you money, but it will also help to prevent you and your family from being left in the cold if your furnace breaks down during the winter.
As you can see, there are many reasons why you should schedule regular heating maintenance for your furnace. From increasing your energy efficiency all the way to catching small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones, regular maintenance is the key to keeping your furnace running smoothly all winter long.
Scheduling regular heating maintenance is the best way to keep your furnace running smoothly and efficiently all winter long. From preventing costly repairs to extending your furnace’s lifespan, there are many benefits to having regular maintenance done. So don’t wait!
