Homeowners in Scarsdale, NY would do well to have their furnaces serviced at least once a year. Let’s review some of the benefits of investing in regular fall furnace tune-ups in your home.
Energy-Efficient Performance
Without maintenance, furnaces can develop small, hidden issues that hinder their performance. Things like unlubricated bearings or dirt and grime build-up can put stress on the motor and cause it to eventually overheat.
With maintenance, though, the furnace will be far less likely to experience operational issues and much more likely to run at peak performance through the winter. You may also see this reflected in your monthly bill, which could remain lower.
Safety and Peace of Mind
Unmaintained furnaces can endanger your health and safety. The heat exchanger in your gas furnace could crack and leak out carbon monoxide, or bad electrical wiring could spark a fire. Tune-ups can pinpoint these and other hazards.
Addressing leaks or other major issues will require a separate repair appointment, but the important thing is that maintenance alerts you to them early on. Besides that, maintenance helps reduce the number of repairs you have to deal with during the year, giving you peace of mind that your system won’t break down when you need it most.
Longer System Life
Well-maintained gas furnaces can last around 15-20 years, and oil and electric furnaces often last for 25 years or possibly more under the same conditions. Invest in annual maintenance visits, and you could potentially add years to your furnace’s life expectancy.
