Highland Village Heating Maintenance
With proper care, your furnace can provide 15 or more years of service. To achieve that, you need a furnace maintenance visit at least once per year. During a visit, one of our HVAC technicians will tune up your heating system. First, they’ll thoroughly inspect your furnace and its components. They’ll follow that up by cleaning your furnace’s internal components and lubricating its blower motor.
Our technician will also adjust your furnace to ensure its efficient operation. Experts estimate that a furnace loses 5% of its efficiency yearly without maintenance. The average furnace is only 80% efficient when new, so that’s a significant drop. Periodic maintenance will also help you avoid sudden breakdowns and expensive repairs.
Regular furnace maintenance appointments come with the following benefits.
- Lower energy bills
- Minimized repair costs
- Improved safety
- Maximized system lifespan
- Warranty compliance
The average new furnace has a limited parts warranty of five to 10 years. It protects you against bearing the cost of premature component failures. Every warranty requires that you stick to a regular maintenance schedule. In the event of a breakdown, the manufacturer will request documentation proving you’ve done so. A significant out-of-warranty component failure can make yearly maintenance appointments seem like a bargain.

- Yearly upkeep allows you to save the number of repair appointments for your device by removing the issues in their primary stages.

Cleaning or Replacing the Furnace Air Filters
The air filters in your heating device primarily serve two objectives. One, they provide a seamless airflow direction from the machine to the home and vice versa. Next, they maintain the indoor air quality of your house by screening out foreign particles like dirt, viruses, dust, pet hair, pollen, and bacteria.
If dust and dirt block your furnace air filters, the machine will have to operate for more hours to keep the indoor temperature intact, damaging the internal parts more. If this persists, you may end up calling an HVAC technician only for them to replace the furnace air filters.
