Important Furnace Maintenance Reminders
Home » Heating » Furnace Maintenance
You depend on your furnace to keep your home warm and comfortable during the cold months each year. But did you know that your furnace depends on regular maintenance? Regular maintenance can help your furnace last longer with increased energy efficiency!
Professional and experienced HVAC teams like HMS Heating and Air Conditioning can provide regular maintenance and tune-ups to prevent surprise breakdowns and emergency repairs in the middle of the cold season.
What Every Homeowner Needs To Know About Heating Maintenance
Before the cold season settles in, you will want to make sure your furnace is ready to handle the demands. One easy way to do this is to bring in furnace maintenance professionals to inspect and tune up the equipment regularly.
There are a couple of actions that homeowners can take on their own throughout the year to help keep the heating system functioning at its best. These actions include:
Changing air filters on a regular basis as determined by the manufacturer recommendations
Keep storage items and debris away from furnaces, heat pumps, water heaters, and other heating systems to ensure good airflow
Visually inspect the unit for any potential issues such as a weak pilot light, loose wires, or dirt buildup on the elements
Check the thermostat to verify it is set correctly and make any necessary adjustments
These are the key actions that homeowners can take on their own. However, complete furnace and heater maintenance is much more in-depth than the average homeowner can perform. The complex machinery and electronic components need to be inspected by professionals that can safely access the elements and repair them as required.
Benefits of Regular, Professional Heater Tune-Up and Furnace Tune-Up
There are many benefits to hiring professionals for an annual heater tune-up, such as:
Prevention of emergency repairs in the middle of a cold winter night
Inspection and replacement of power switches, blower motors, and more (as needed)
Immediate repair of minor issues that could have become major issues
Improved energy efficiency of the heating system for maximum savings
Longer lifespan of the heater or furnace equipment
Optimized adjustments and updates for the furnace and heater equipment
As with any mechanical and electrical system, furnaces and heaters need tune-ups to continue functioning at their highest efficiency. Just like you wouldn’t let your car go without service and inspection, you shouldn’t let heater tune-ups fall off your checklist of important services.
A routine inspection and furnace tune-up prevent big issues from developing before they can cause more damage which can drain your emergency funds. Also, regular heater tune-up can optimize and improve energy efficiency. Professional heater maintenance technicians can make adjustments to the system and update worn-out parts or outdated programs. Each inspection and furnace tune-up will contribute to a longer-lasting heating system that continues to save you money over the long term.
Don’t forget to keep and maintain a carbon monoxide monitor in your home to improve safety around natural gas furnaces. These useful tools help you identify if odorless gas is present in your home.
Carbon monoxide levels can indicate serious and potentially dangerous situations that will require professional repair of your furnace.
