Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, only to realize that your house is freezing cold because your furnace has suddenly broken down? This dreaded scenario can be easily avoided with regular furnace maintenance.
Much like maintaining a car, furnaces benefit from regular inspections and adjustments to keep them running efficiently and reliably. Proper seasonal furnace maintenance not only ensures a warm and toasty home but also promises energy efficiency and longevity for your heating system. Here at Bison Home Service, your comfort and peace of mind is our utmost priority. Contact us to schedule an appointment and we’ll prepare your furnace for the potentially long, cold winter ahead.
Why is Seasonal Furnace Maintenance Necessary?
When winter arrives in full force, your furnace becomes your best friend. Acting as the heart of your home, it works continuously to keep you and your family warm and comfortable. Unfortunately, you’re most likely to encounter problems with your furnace when you turn it on for the first time in many months, that is, unless it’s already received its seasonal maintenance.
At Bison Home Service, we understand that life is busy and full of distractions, and keeping up with furnace maintenance can easily fall to the bottom of the priority list. However, its importance cannot be stressed enough. The following are just a few of the benefits of regular furnace maintenance.
Reduces Sudden Breakdowns
Sudden furnace breakdowns in the middle of winter are not just uncomfortable; they can be hazardous and even life-threatening in severe weather conditions. Regular furnace check-ups minimize the likelihood of unfortunate surprises. By inspecting your furnace thoroughly, professionals can spot early signs of wear and tear, rectify them promptly, and reduce the chance of a sudden furnace failure.
Improves Energy Efficiency
Furnaces lose their efficiency over time due to the natural wear of parts and the accumulation of dirt and dust which forces the system to work harder than necessary. Regular inspections and adjustments can restore much of this lost efficiency by making sure all components are clean, and functioning as they should be. This yields a double benefit – not only will your furnace use less energy, but it will also heat your home more effectively.
Enhances Air Quality
An improperly maintained heating system can circulate dust, pollen, and other allergens throughout your home, compromising the indoor air quality. During a furnace check-up, technicians will replace the air filter, enhancing the air quality in your home. In fact, regular filter replacements and cleanings can even reduce health risks associated with poor air quality, such as allergies or asthma.
Increases the Furnace’s Lifespan
Regular maintenance drastically extends the life of your furnace. Much like how regular oil changes help keep your car on the road longer, regular tune-ups keep your furnace operating at optimal levels for more years. By easing the strain on the system and replacing worn-out parts before they cause further damage, you can add years to the expected lifespan of your furnace.
