Furnace maintenance is a crucial aspect of a functioning heating system. With regular maintenance, a furnace can keep a home warm and comfortable for up to three decades. Crowther Heating and Air Conditioning is proud to offer gas, electric, and oil furnace maintenance to Kilmarnock, VA, and the surrounding areas.
How Often Should a Furnace Be Serviced?
How often you schedule maintenance will depend on what type of heating system you own. According to Smarter House, oil furnaces need a tune-up at least once a year. On the other hand, gas furnaces can go 2 years between maintenance appointments. Heat pumps, on the other hand, only need service every 2 to 3 years.
Regardless of the type of system you own, you will need to replace your furnace filters or air filters every 3 to 6 months to avoid any disruptions.
Regular system maintenance can also lower your energy costs and extend the lifespan of your furnace. It will also reduce the need for costly repairs that can crop up from neglect. If your furnace hasn’t been serviced in a while, then you should not wait to schedule an appointment.
Pre Winter Furnace Maintenance
It’s smart to get a furnace inspection before cold weather hits to ensure your home stays warm throughout the winter.
At your service appointment, one of our expert technicians will thoroughly examine your HVAC system, conduct a furnace cleaning, and make the necessary adjustments to keep it running smoothly. At a minimum, we will
- Remove sediment from the boiler and steam lines
- Conduct a full furnace tune-up and measure its efficiency
- Make air and fuel-flow adjustments to improve the efficiency of your system
- Lubricate pumps and fans when necessary
- Replace dirty filters to further improve airflow and your home’s indoor air quality
While regular maintenance is the best way to prevent problems in your heating system, repairs and replacement may become necessary, especially if you have an older system. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency heating repair service. If you’ve just turned on your furnace for the season, have a carbon monoxide leak coming from the heat exchanger, or your furnace has quit in the dead of winter, Crowther will be there to make things right again, any time day or night.
