Many homeowners do little to maintain their furnace besides replace the filter. To ensure an energy-efficient system, keep its warranty valid and save money on utility bills, you’ll want to set up a maintenance program with an HVAC company.
Warranties Require Professional Maintenance
Most warranties will only cover heating repairs on professionally maintained systems. The reason is that professionals perform comprehensive tune-ups and can prevent the majority of issues due to their training and education on all things HVAC. Maintenance has been proven to reduce repairs, so simply think of maintenance as a form of insurance.
Greater Energy Efficiency
A well-maintained heating system doesn’t work as hard to deliver warm air into your home. The reason has a lot to do with the lack of dirt and other obstructions that would otherwise build up in the ducts, filters and coils. Smooth airflow lends itself to greater energy efficiency, which means lower energy bills each month.
Fewer Repairs in the Future
Along with the short-term savings that you’ll see with your bills, you can experience long-term savings as you find the system less frequently needing repairs. The heater may then function for its full 10-, 15-, or 20-year life span.
Maintenance can do this in several ways, starting with basic tasks like the coil and filter cleaning. Obstructions put stress on a system, and this makes it more prone to fail. Technicians could also lubricate moving parts to prevent overheating and replace old wiring to avert fires.
