Crisp autumn air has settled into Albuquerque, New Mexico, winter is just days away and with that, the dropping temperatures indicate heaters need servicing to prepare for winter.
Autumn is the ideal time of year to maintain your furnace, and you can reap so many rewards by making sure that annual inspection will be done right away.
Here are the reasons Day and Night Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Drains LLC says it is so important to keep up with furnace maintenance this fall.
Maintain High Efficiency
During the cold winter months you do not want there to be any spots in your home that are cold. Keeping your furnace running at peak condition will provide dedicated, significant warmth to all areas of your home.
Trained HVAC techs conduct routine service, cleaning and calibrating your furnace, enabling it to run quietly, providing heat evenly throughout your home. A properly running furnace not only provides you with the comfort of warmth, but also aids in lowering your energy bills!
Improve Your Furnace Longevity
A heating system that has regularly gone through its routine maintenance will last you a great deal longer. Forgetting about regular maintenance can result in an unnecessary early death for a furnace, followed by expensive replacements.
A well maintained furnace, for example, will last five years more than a furnace that has not been serviced and clean at regular intervals. By investing in maintenance today, you are investing in a system that will break down less often (if ever) and provide dependable heat for many years to come.
Reduce the Need for Repairs
All furnaces suffer normal wear as they age, but preventive maintenance can help keep repairs to a minimum.
An HVAC technician, on the other hand, checks your furnace for issues and makes small repairs or adjustments during routine maintenance visits. By taking this proactive approach, you can save time and money down the road by preventing serious and expensive problems.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
You might be surprised to find out that furnace maintenance has a major effect on the indoor air quality of your home. In fact, the indoor air in many homes is worse than fresh outside air in some common cities.
During a comprehensive furnace service, technicians remove caked-on dirt, dust and debris that can build-up over the years. This prevents pollutants from being spread throughout the ductwork and vents of your home, resulting in cleaner air for you and your family to breathe.
Ensure Safety
Most problems with your furnace are not a danger to you, but some can create a serious hazard. For example, if there is a crack somewhere along the heat exchanger, poisonous carbon monoxide gas can leak into your home — odorless and colorless!
During the routine inspection, a technician will check all of the major components to make sure they are operating safely. That means you can rest assured that your family is covered against danger.
