If you look forward to coming home to an evenly-heated home every day, regular furnace maintenance is necessary. During this process, an HVAC technician will inspect your unit and give it a tune-up to ensure it’s running efficiently. They’ll also identify any developing problems and provide repairs. This process is explained in more detail in the guide below.

Why Have a Yearly Furnace Inspection?

Your furnace has several complex parts that work together to provide heat. If there is a problem with a fan or a burner, this can cascade into more severe issues, affecting the entire machine. Not only does this reduce the efficiency of your furnace, but it also makes eventual repairs more complex and costly. But by watching for the early development of these problems, you can minimize the extent of the damage, simplify repairs, and make sure the unit is not overworking itself, driving up your energy bills unnecessarily.

What Is Included in Yearly Furnace Maintenance?

When you schedule yearly maintenance, your technician will inspect the seals and vents of your furnace to make sure air is flowing where it is supposed to. They’ll examine and clean the burners and test the emissions to ensure the fuel is burning cleanly. Then, after checking the equipment and wiring for any sign of corrosion or rust, they'll clean the drainage system. Finally, they’ll look at the furnace’s air filter to make sure you’re keeping up with the necessary filter changes.
