Though you may not be thinking too much about your furnace now, furnace maintenance is an important part of the longevity of your heating system. While you may be tempted to wait for the temperature to start dropping before thinking much about your furnace, this decision may leave you in a bind. Making sure your heating unit works before you need it can help you avoid disaster if you find yourself in the need of repairs or replacement.
After repeated use, even the most efficient and durable furnaces will need maintenance. In addition to the expected wear on furnaces from regular use, situational factors can influence their efficiency. Buildup in the system or a particularly brutal bout of weather can put additional wear on your system. Dust, dirt, and other particulates can find their way into your furnace and reduce its effectiveness. If left long enough, this buildup can require a new furnace altogether. With regular furnace maintenance, our experienced technicians can clear your furnace and replace individual parts to prevent the need for more costly remedies.
Many heating system companies report that their units last between 10 and 15 years. This estimate, however, shouldn’t be taken for granted. The expected lifespan of your heating unit relies heavily on regular maintenance. If you forgo routine furnace maintenance, you may find yourself facing a premature and expensive replacement.
