What Happens if You Don’t Schedule Preventive Furnace Services?
If you choose not to get a heating tune-up, it could cause big problems. Your electric-powered system needs regular preventative maintenance to keep it in tip-top shape. Otherwise, your energy bills could rise, and your furnace won’t be as safe. Other issues include a shorter system lifespan, reduced efficiency, and an increased breakdown risk.
What’s Included in an Electric Heating Tune-Up?
The purpose of preventative maintenance inspections is to ensure a properly functioning furnace. During your tune-up, our experts will inspect your entire system. They’ll also clean all your components and, if they find something wrong, they can repair it on the spot.
Tasks such as cleaning debris, vents, and registers can keep your system producing proper airflow. You’ll also need us to help monitor any odd or unusual noises. For instance, common reasons for odd noises include loose parts or an issue with your heater’s combustion process. If you hear a clicking sound, you might have a failing thermostat or electrical issue.
Furnace maintenance includes:
- Filter replacement
- Thermostat calibration
- Checking safety controls
- Inspecting ductwork
- Lubricating moving parts
Benefits of Routine Heating Maintenance
Again, ongoing maintenance is a valuable tool that can end up saving you a lot of money. Think of it as protecting your furnace investment. After all, every heater will eventually die, but our professionals can keep it operational for much longer. If you do end up needing a heating replacement, you’ll find out before the temperature plummets to the mid-40s. However, in most cases, regular maintenance means you’ll probably only deal with minor furnace repairs.
Invest in electric furnace maintenance for:
- Lower utility bills: Regular inspections will help ensure your heater is energy efficient, thereby reducing energy costs.
- Fewer breakdowns: Taking a proactive approach allows our experts to discover minor issues before they balloon into a breakdown.
- Extended system life: Regular lubrication and cleaning enable your parts to move freely, which extends your furnace’s lifespan and helps avoid costly repairs.
- Improved air quality: Getting a thorough cleaning and filter replacement can remove irritants from the air and allow you to breathe healthier air.
- Safer operation: Our professional technicians will check your electrical or gas connection, along with helping to minimize the risk of carbon monoxide buildup.
