what does furnace maintenance include?

Furnace maintenance typically includes several key tasks that are designed to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the furnace. Some of the tasks that are typically included in furnace maintenance include:

  1. Inspection: A thorough inspection of the furnace and its components is performed to check for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction.

  2. Cleaning: The furnace and its components are cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can accumulate over time.

  3. Filter replacement: The furnace filter is checked and replaced as needed. A dirty filter can restrict airflow and make the furnace work harder, leading to reduced efficiency and increased energy costs.

  4. Safety check: The safety features of the furnace, such as the flame sensor, limit switch, and pressure switch, are checked to make sure they are working properly.

  5. Tightening and lubricating: Any loose parts are tightened and moving parts are lubricated to ensure proper operation and reduce wear and tear.

  6. Testing: The furnace is tested to ensure it is operating within the manufacturer’s recommended specifications and safety standards.

  7. Recommendations: The technician will provide recommendations for any repairs or upgrades that may be needed to keep the furnace running efficiently and safely.

It’s important to note that the tasks included in furnace maintenance may vary depending on the type of furnace and the specific needs of the furnace.

Is Furnace Maintenance Necessary?

Furnace maintenance is not strictly necessary if the homeowner is changing filters and inspecting the furnace visually on a very regular basis. However, construction, pets and dustry environments can cause dirt & grime build up in the unit. In addition, in our experience, many obvious issues such as water leaks or rusting go unnoticed for long periods of time and furnaces that fail frequently have not had regular maintenance performed on them.

Furnace maintenance on a regular basis (every 1-2 years) is highly recommended in order to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the furnace, prolong the life of the furnace and avoid costly repairs.

A furnace is a complex mechanical system that contains many moving parts, which can wear out over time or become clogged with dirt and debris. Regular maintenance can help to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems. Cleaning, replacing filters, and checking and tightening connections can help to ensure that the furnace is running at peak efficiency, which can lead to energy savings and lower heating bills.

In addition, safety is another important factor in furnace maintenance. A safety check can detect potential hazards, such as carbon monoxide leaks, and make sure that the furnace is operating within safe limits. This can prevent accidents and ensure the safety of the occupants of the house.

Annual Furnace Maintenance

While there’s no harm in servicing the furnace every year, we find the sweet spot of value and practicality for furnace maintenance to be around 24 months depending on the property, the lifestyle of its occupants and whether filter changes are done on a regular basis. If the home is dusty or pets are present, furnace maintenance may need to happen at more regular intervals.

As homeowners, the best thing you can do is to be on top of your air filter changes and ensure your unit is not running with a clogged filter.

If you’ve not had your furnace checked and tuned-up in a while, there’s no time like now. Get in touch via our easy online form or give us a call to schedule furnace maintenance today!

  2. Cleaning: The furnace and its components are cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can accumulate over time.

How often should you have your furnace maintenance?

Typically, every 1-2 years. The frequency of furnace maintenance can vary depending on the type of furnace and the manufacturer’s recommendations. It’s generally recommended to have a professional maintenance check at least once a year, typically before the start of the heating season. 

Factors such as the age of the furnace, how often the furnace is used, the condition of the ductwork, and the environment of the house, can also play a role in determining the maintenance frequency. For example, a furnace that is used more frequently or is located in a dusty area may need more frequent maintenance.

Do you really need to service your furnace every year?

It really depends on your system and your property. On average, we find that servicing the furnace every 24 months seems to be the best sweet spot for value & efficiency. However, if you’re forgetful with your filter changes or your furnace is constantly on, you’ll likely need furnace maintenance every year or in some cases, twice a year.
