6 Benefits of Giving Your Furnace the Attention and Maintenance It Needs
If you love coming home to a cozy house, keep it that way by giving your furnace a thorough fall cleaning and tune-up. Why is furnace maintenance so important? Since September 25 is National Tune-Up Day, let us count the ways:
- Saves Money
Rather than dream about lowering your energy bills, make it a reality with a well-maintained furnace. A unit that’s kept clean and in good repair uses 10 to 30 percent less energy—that adds up to significant savings on your monthly utility bills. - Saves Time
“Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today”—that saying rings true for furnace maintenance, too. The last thing you want to worry about is a furnace malfunction in the middle of a freezing cold winter night. Regular maintenance now helps prevent a sudden, no-heat emergency during the busiest season for furnace fixes. - Promotes Longer Performance
As every homeowner knows, a furnace is a big investment. But one that’s treated right can last up to 25 years. Ignoring regular maintenance short-changes your system’s lifespan and limits its performance. - Preserves Warranty
Most manufacturer warranties are only honored when you have regular heating system maintenance performed by a professional. If you don’t follow care guidelines, expect your product guarantee to be void. - Staves Off Costly Repairs
A certified expert who does comprehensive furnace maintenance can find most minor issues before they develop into major furnace repairs or a complete system replacement. Routine maintenance is even more affordable when you purchase a service agreement. Most agreements also include valuable benefits such as repair or parts discounts and priority scheduling. - Reduces Safety Risk
Your safety at home is what matters most—furnaces that aren’t functioning properly put your entire family’s health at risk. Something as simple as a clogged filter can lead to more respiratory infections, while a cracked heat exchanger is a very serious carbon monoxide hazard. With regular furnace inspections and maintenance, and a carbon monoxide detector, you’ll rest easy and stay comfy whenever the heat’s on.
