Understanding the Importance of Furnace Maintenance

Your home’s heating system is designed to maintain a comfortable indoor environment during cold weather. Efficient furnace function will keep your home cozy while saving you money on your energy bills. Regular maintenance and HVAC repairs can reduce your operating costs, prevent damage to the system, and eliminate hazards that could affect your family and your home.

Efficient Function

HVAC maintenance is an essential component of efficient furnace function. Without regular maintenance, your furnace can become dirty and worn, which reduces its heating efficiency and puts added strain on the system. As your system works harder and longer to maintain a comfortable temperature, the financial and environmental costs of operation increase. During a maintenance visit, your technician will clean the interior of your furnace and replace any parts that may be failing or worn to ensure the entire system is operating at peak efficiency.

Safe Function

Dirt and debris that collects inside your furnace can pose a fire hazard when subjected to intense heat or electrical sparks. Worn or fraying wires also represent a fire hazard that could threaten your safety and damage your home. Damage to your furnace or its venting system could result in the buildup of carbon monoxide in your home, a dangerous and potentially deadly gas created during combustion. Regular maintenance will identify problems and correct them to ensure your furnace is operating safely to protect your family and your home.

Prolonged Function

A furnace that is consistently under strain from poor operating conditions will not last as long as an HVAC system that is well maintained. Maintenance to keep your Orlando home’s furnace clean and repaired will prolong its lifetime to ensure you get the most from your valuable investment.
