Vidhi Winter will be here before we know it, as we enjoy cooler fall temperatures. With the changing of the seasons, it is critical to have an HVAC professional perform your annual furnace inspection. What is the significance of annual furnace maintenance? Here are three of them:
- Furnace maintenance ensures that your HVAC system is in good working order.
Annual furnace maintenance and annual air conditioner maintenance are just as important as getting annual checkups with our doctors and having regular maintenance done on our cars. We recommend having your HVAC system serviced professionally twice a year (in the spring before using the air conditioner for the first time and in the fall before using the furnace for the first time).
- Furnace maintenance ensures that your HVAC system operates as efficiently as possible.
During their visit, your technician will inspect and clean the components of your HVAC system. When furnace parts are properly inspected and cleaned, they allow your furnace to run more efficiently. A clogged air filter is another source of inefficiency. An air filter’s job is to remove pollutants from your home’s indoor air, such as dust, dirt, and pet dander. When the air filter is dirty, it restricts airflow and forces your furnace (and thus the entire HVAC system) to work harder and less efficiently. It is best to clean or replace your air filter every 30-90 days, depending on the type of air filter you use and how much your system runs.
- Furnace maintenance is critical for the health of your family:-
While your furnace circulates air throughout your home, you don’t want it to also circulate dust and other airborne pollutants. A clogged air filter (and a clogged furnace) make it more difficult to remove pollutants from your home’s indoor air (contaminants like dust mites, mold, pet dander, dead skin, allergens, viruses, and more). During your furnace maintenance appointment, your technician will ensure that your unit is free of mildew, mold, dust, and other contaminants that can affect the quality of your indoor air and the health of your family.
