It’s Fire Prevention Week: Let’s Talk About the Importance of Furnace Maintenance

It’s hard to believe, but some homeowners never have furnace maintenance performed on their heating system. If asked, they’d probably be appalled if you suggested they drive their cars without ever checking or changing the oil or tires or without ever checking any other mechanical features or fluids. 

Just as vehicle maintenance is important, to keep your heating system running as efficiently as possible, furnace maintenance should be at the top of your fall to do list every year. Since this is national fire prevention week, Masters Heating & Cooling wants to take this opportunity to point out the important furnace of maintenance. 

HVAC industry experts and manufacturers will tell you that regularly scheduled furnace maintenance is vital to your heating system’s lifespan. The average furnace lasts about 15 years. Neglecting to have your furnace cleaned and inspected will likely shorten its life by several years.  

Don’t be stuck this winter with a furnace that is broken down, or at a minimum isn’t running at its best. You can have peace of mind that your loved ones are comfortable and safe by ensuring your furnace is good to go when you’re ready to turn it on. 

Why Furnace Maintenance Matters

• A trained technician will have the opportunity to discover broken or malfunctioning parts and repair them before you have a serious challenge or a complete breakdown. 
• Most HVAC manufacturers require annual cleaning and inspection to keep their equipment warranties valid. 
• Dirty furnace filters allow dust and allergens to go blow around unhindered indoors. One of the tasks of furnace maintenance is to change the dirty filters, making your indoor environment cleaner and safer for you and your loved ones.
• A well-running and clean furnace will provide the most comfort and consistency while also helping to keep utility costs under control.
