Every year,
about this time, you probably receive several direct mail pieces from different
heating and cooling companies telling you to schedule a furnace tune-up. But what most companies fail to tell you (and
the reason most of these offers are ignored) is exactly why furnace maintenance
is essential. At Air
Systems Mechanical Inc., we won’t sell you something you don’t need. So here is
a list of reasons an annual inspection is so important to the efficiency of
your furnace and the safety of your home.
Six Reasons You Need Annual Furnace Maintenance
Ensures proper airflow
During the
furnace inspection, the technician should check your heating system to ensure
it is receiving the proper airflow. Restricted or limited airflow places
unnecessary strain on your system that can lead to high repair bills, higher
operating cost, and a shortened life span.
Keeps you safe
Furnaces
burn fuel to produce heat. This combustion process must be precise to maintain
efficiency and safety. Even a small problem can lead to gas leaking into your
home or dangerous carbon monoxide levels. Don’t take a chance with the health
and safety of you and your family.
Reduce repairs
Every
winter, we receive calls for heating problems that could have been easily
prevented with regular maintenance. A furnace inspection not only includes
cleaning that keeps your furnace running efficiently, but it also catches small
problems before they turn into major repairs.
Save time and money
Getting a
furnace inspection and cleaning now, before the weather is cold, is much more
convenient than waiting for a repairman during the winter in a cold house
without heat. It is also much cheaper.
Improves energy
efficiency
A furnace
inspection should include the cleaning and inspection of the burners, heat
exchanger, and condensate drains. This keeps your furnace running efficiently
all winter.
Maintains manufacturer’s
warranty
If your
furnace is under a manufacturer’s warranty, it is especially important for you
to get an annual furnace inspection and cleaning. Manufacturers stipulate that
their warranty becomes void if the heater is not regularly maintained. A
furnace inspection can satisfy that requirement and maintain your warranty.
All of these things boil down to this:
keeping you safe, and saving you money.
We all do
maintenance to our cars without question, but fail to do proper maintenance to
our heating and cooling systems. Just changing the air filter regularly is not
maintenance! Our heating and cooling systems are mechanical devices just the
same as our cars. So, I have crunched
some numbers, just to try to put things into perspective and show the
importance of annual maintenance on your heating and cooling system.
The
average family “drives” their home comfort system 2,500 hours per year, at full
speed!
If you were
to get into your car and drive it for 2,500 hours at 55 mph, you would have put
137,000 miles on your odometer and changed your oil 45 times.
The only way your home comfort system will
be reliable and efficient to heat and cool your home is with proper
maintenance.
