Benefits of Getting an Annual Furnace Tune Up

Most people understand the importance of maintaining their vehicles through regularly scheduled oil changes, tire rotations, and tune-ups. However, that same type of expectation surrounding furnace maintenance is not as commonly appreciated or understood when it comes to furnace and HVAC system maintenance.

However, routine Washington furnace maintenance offers many benefits.

Increased Efficiency: Whether you have a gas furnace or an oil furnace, regular maintenance keeps it running efficiently, lowering energy consumption and heating bills.

Extended Lifespan: Like any mechanical system, a furnace lasts longer with routine checkups. Regular maintenance prevents minor issues associated with typical wear and tear from escalating into major problems that could cause premature failure.

Safety: Annual maintenance is critical to ensure safety. Regular checkups by a certified technician ensure the combustion process works correctly and that there are no issues, such as leaks, that could lead to dangerous situations like carbon monoxide poisoning or fire.

Better Air Quality: A well-maintained furnace contributes to better indoor air quality, which is essential if you have occupants suffering from allergies or respiratory issues.

Remember that we can also handle all your air conditioner repair needs.

4 Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Furnace

Even the most well-maintained furnace will need to be replaced, and here are the four most common signs that yours may be getting ready for the scrap yard.

Age: The average furnace lifespan is typically a little longer than that of your Air Conditioning components at 15-30 years (whereas your AC system is typically 15-20 years), so if your system is approaching or past that age, plan on replacing it sooner rather than later.

Higher Heating Bills: Furnaces lose efficiency as they age, consuming more fuel, which drives up energy costs. Sometimes, a tune-up can help, but replacement is the better option if your furnace is past its prime. Newer furnace options also have a MUCH higher efficiency than older furnaces, meaning more of the gas you are paying for is used to heat your home rather than being lost to the outside as hot exhaust gas.

Frequent Repairs: Furnaces typically require more repairs during their last few years of life. If you’re seeing a heating contractor more than your friends, it’s a sure sign that it’s time to invest in a new system.

Uneven Heating: Have you noticed some rooms are warmer than others? If so, it could indicate that your furnace can’t distribute heat as evenly as it used to, which could be due to age.
