Does Your Home Need A Furnace Tune-Up?
Efficient furnaces have sealed combustion and are over 90% effective. As the furnace ages, the efficiency can decrease to 75%, and this number continues to drop. That’s why a heating tune-up is necessary to ensure the furnace remains effective for years to come. The heat exchanger keeps the air supply and combustion process separate. If this component cracks, the furnace often underperforms and poses a safety risk.
Most modern furnaces come with electronic ignition. The furnace may malfunction if there’s damage to the ignition or the burner nozzle clogs. Furnace components like the bearings, drive belt, and fan motor wear out over time. Failing to replace these components can trigger system shutdowns or airflow issues. Like any other complex system, your furnace can develop unforeseen problems.
If left unresolved, various issues can affect the entire heating system of your furnace.
- Ineffective performance
- Damaged heat exchanger
- Ignition problems
- Mechanical issues
- Ineffective venting
Furnaces that use fuel also require a constant air supply to ensure combustion. They also need a proper venting system to get rid of combustion gases generated in the process. Once you schedule furnace maintenance, we’ll work to ensure proper ventilation. Regular heating tune-ups keep your furnace in the best working condition. They allow us to repair or replace damaged parts before they become more expensive issues.
A furnace tune-up is also an excellent way to save money. Maintenance keeps the furnace in shape for longer so you don’t have to worry about sudden expenses. Ignoring your furnace can also lead to higher power bills. The furnace requires more power to work well as the parts wear and dust accumulates. This, in turn, increases energy costs while reducing the system’s lifespan.
With regular maintenance, high power bills will be a thing of the past. We’ll ensure your home is winter-ready and energy-efficient. Furthermore, your loved ones will remain safe from issues like carbon monoxide poisoning. If the heat exchanger malfunctions, it can lead to carbon monoxide leakage. This silent killer is odorless, colorless, and highly lethal.
