The average furnace lasts at least 15 years, but it could last as long as 30 years if you take good care of it. If you want your furnace to last as long as possible, you need to keep it well-maintained.
Maintaining your furnace will help keep it working well and prevent it from costly repair. Ron Ball Refrigeration has over 60+ years of experience serving Brockville, Prescott, and the surrounding area. We can help protect your investment so that you can experience the big advantages of preventative maintenance.
Here are five benefits of furnace maintenance that you need to know about.
1. Increased Efficiency
When your air filter is clogged and your furnace is full of dust, dirt, and debris, furnace efficiency will decrease. With restricted airflow, your furnace will need to work harder to provide heat. Replacing the air filter and cleaning the furnace can help boost its performance.
Parts that aren’t performing well can also lead to decreased efficiency. During professional maintenance, parts and components will be inspected, replaced, and lubricated as needed.
2. Reduce Your Energy Bill
Recently, Canada’s natural gas prices increased to over $9 per gigajoule (GJ). This is three and a half times the average of the previous six years.
If you want to reduce utility costs each month, keep your furnace well-maintained. Regular maintenance will help keep moving parts and electrical connections working smoothly.
It will not only increase furnace efficiency and home comfort but also maintain peak performance, ultimately reducing your energy bill.
3. Increased Lifespan
Professional furnace contractors can quickly detect and address the issues; this will reduce the risk of irreparable damage.
Clogged, dirty air filters as well as worn-out internal components, can restrict airflow and cause the furnace to work harder, affecting performance.
Through regular furnace maintenance, you can effectively extend the lifespan of your furnace.
4. Reduced Risks
During maintenance, equipment will be tested, and potential problems will be identified. This will help to prevent potential dangers such as gas or carbon monoxide leaks.
In addition, keeping the air filters changed and eliminating the buildup of dirt and debris will also help improve indoor air quality.
5. Stay Warm During the Winter
Living in Ontario, you need to know that your furnace won’t let you down when you need it the most. By getting routine maintenance before the weather takes a turn for the worse, you’ll ensure that you and your family will stay as comfortable as possible.
If any issues are found with your furnace, you’ll have time to fix them before you need it. This can help prevent some major headaches as well as the potential danger of being without residential heating when you really need it.
