Why Heating & Furnace Maintenance Is Invaluable
Many people don’t think much about their heaters or furnaces unless there’s a problem; they expect them to start up immediately and keep them comfortable all winter long. However, like any machine, your heater requires regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly and catch minor issues before they grow and wreak havoc later. Here are a few benefits to consider if you’ve never considered hiring a heating service company for annual heater or furnace maintenance.
EXTENDS SYSTEM’S LIFESPAN
While many factors determine how long your furnace will last, the average lifespan is about 15 years. However, with routine maintenance by trained professionals, it’s not unheard of for a furnace to last up to 30 years.
LOWERS YOUR UTILITY BILLS
Because the cost of electricity continues rising and your HVAC system consumes so much power, keeping your system running efficiently ensures your system can do more with less.
How to Make Your Furnace More Efficient
Now that you know that your furnace is one of the biggest consumers of power in your home, it’s prudent to do all you can to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible. Check out these simple tips.
CHANGE OR CLEAN THE AIR FILTER REGULARLY
CHECK AND CLEAN THE VENTS WITH A VACUUM
CONSIDER UPGRADING YOUR THERMOSTAT TO A PROGRAMMABLE MODEL

Signs You Need Furnace Repair
While not every AC problem requires a call to your local AC contractor, sometimes the only way to get your system in proper form is with the help of a professional. Here are the most common situations where you’ll want to call in the pros.
NO HEAT
The apparent signs that your heater is in trouble is if it fails to produce heat or never gets as warm as you desire. No heat or not enough heat could be caused by a clogged burner, clogged air filter, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
STRANGE NOISES
Another common sign that something is wrong with your furnace is if you start hearing strange sounds like banging, squealing, or grinding. Sometimes, these sounds are caused by a failing ignitor or a problem with the blower.
SPIKE IN UTILITY BILLS
If you notice that your utility bills have skyrocketed, it could be because your heater or furnace is losing efficiency and is working harder to do the job.
FREQUENT CYCLING
Your furnace goes through routine heating phases throughout the day; however, if you notice the system quickly cycling on and off, it could be an issue with the thermostat or something worse.
