Benefits of Furnace Maintenance & Tune-up

The HVAC system offers a convenience that many of us take for granted: temperature-controlled living. The furnace keeps us warm through the winter, but how many of us stop and think about it BEFORE it breaks down? Responsible homeowners who keep up with maintenance & inspections will find that their energy bills are lower, the heater is more effective, unexpected repairs are rare, and the air is cleaner. In this article brought to you by Zion Custom Air, we will dive into some of the reasons why annual maintenance should be seen as an investment with short-term and long-term benefits.

Save on Energy Bills

The HVAC system can account for around 50 percent of energy bills, which is why many people focus on energy efficiency when purchasing a new furnace. The energy efficiency is not constant, however. It depends on many variables including the design, materials, maintenance, and settings. For instance, dirty air filters can restrict air flow and force the furnace to work in overdrive. Leaking air ducts can also negatively affect energy efficiency. A professional tune-up can save you on those monthly energy bills.

Enjoy Warmer, Cleaner Air

Tired of cranking up the thermostat just to feel some warm air come out of the air vents and registers? Dirty air ducts can limit the air flow into your living spaces and cause inconsistent heating and even air pollution. Maintenance is especially important if you have household members with allergies and respiratory difficulties.

Stay Safe and Comfortable

The furnace uses a lot of energy, and if that energy source is gas then you should be extra vigilant. Gas leaks can cause poisoning and even explosions. Fortunately, there are many safety features that will lock the system in the event of such risks. Still, testing those safety features is crucial. A professional maintenance appointment entails checking to make sure safety features are working properly.

Prevent Unexpected Repairs & Breakdowns

The furnace is not going to last forever, but if you keep up with maintenance then you can at least know what to expect. During a maintenance appointment, the technician will inspect the furnace for signs of possible damage and determine whether the issue can cause issues in the near-term. A quick part replacement today is much better than a full furnace replacement tomorrow!

Extend the Life Expectancy of the Furnace

A well-maintained furnace can last up to 20 years, but a neglected one can expire in only a fraction of that time. If you want to get the most out of your furnace, then avoid premature system failures with annual inspections, routine maintenance, and timely repairs.
