You’ve probably heard how important it is to get preventive maintenance for your furnace, but do you know why it’s of value? Once you understand how preventive maintenance helps, you’ll likely be more motivated to have it done regularly.
Increased Efficiency
A system that receives regular service is a clean, well-functioning system. Without buildup on the internal components, a furnace is able to operate at peak capacity. Maintenance helps to ensure that the system will operate as it was designed to.
Improved Energy Savings
When a furnace cycles on, unhindered by buildup and at top capacity, it doesn’t waste fuel. With smart energy use, you increase the energy savings from your furnace each month. That means more money in your bank account to spend on other, more important things.
Extended Lifespan
When a furnace system is well cared for, it experiences less wear and tear. As a result, all of the furnace’s components last longer. In general, experts agree that giving a furnace consistent, quality service will extend its life, often by at least three years. That makes investing in preventive maintenance a no-brainer, because you recoup the costs through this avenue, as well as others.
Reduced Repairs
When a furnace isn’t maintained each year, its components eventually wear out, and that leads to unnecessary, and completely avoidable repairs. While maintenance won’t guarantee that you won’t have to repair the system, it goes a long way toward helping you avoid it.
Enhanced Comfort
Regular maintenance, with all of the above benefits, will culminate in a more comfortable home. With a well-tuned system, your comfort increases due to its efficiency and extended lifespan. In addition, maintenance helps to advance good indoor air quality, increasing your comfort exponentially.
Reduced Rates
By participating in your HVAC contractor’s planned maintenance programs, you can further increase benefits. Often, companies will offer perks to its regular customers, like priority service, and reduced rates for repairs or parts.
