Most furnaces fail because they have not been properly maintained. You may think it is more affordable to simply wait until you need a repair to call for service, but the fact is preventive furnace maintenance will save you money in the long run and help you avoid inconvenient and costly equipment breakdowns.
Do It Yourself
Many furnace maintenance tasks are better left to the pros, but there is one important maintenance activity that you should do: change the furnace filters when they get dirty. Furnace filters are primarily designed to keep dust and dirt away from the equipment. When the blower motor or other components get dirty, they become less efficient and worn down sooner. Regularly changing the furnace filter will help lengthen the life of your equipment, maintain good energy efficiency and keep your indoor air cleaner.
Call A Professional
For other furnace maintenance tasks, have a professional do a seasonal tuneup. A technician should do the following before the heating season starts:
- Lubricate the blower motor and other moving parts
- Check and tighten any loose electrical connections
- Work with you to determine the most efficient thermostat settings that will achieve your comfort preferences
- Ensure that the system is properly cycling on and off
- Check all combustion-related equipment to ensure safe operation
- Ensure that combustion gases are properly vented
Hit The Easy Button
Signing up for a service agreement will ensure that you get the annual furnace maintenance you need. There are many benefits to annual agreements, not least of which is maintaining your equipment warranty. If your heating system is not regularly maintained, your warranty could be voided, making unexpected repairs even more costly.
