Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Have My Furnace Maintained?
It’s recommended to have your furnace serviced once a year, ideally before the winter season begins. Regular maintenance ensures your furnace is operating efficiently and safely during Sacramento’s colder months.
What Does Furnace Maintenance Include?
Furnace maintenance typically includes inspecting and cleaning the burners, checking the heat exchanger for cracks, cleaning or replacing the air filter, testing safety controls, checking electrical connections, and ensuring the system is operating efficiently.
Why is Annual Furnace Maintenance Important?
Regular maintenance improves the efficiency of your furnace, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the lifespan of the system, and ensures the safety of your home by checking for potential hazards such as carbon monoxide leaks.
Can Furnace Maintenance Improve Energy Efficiency?
Yes, regular maintenance ensures your furnace runs at peak efficiency. A clean and properly tuned system doesn’t have to work as hard to heat your home, which can lower your energy bills and reduce wear on the unit.
How Long Does a Furnace Maintenance Service Take?
A typical furnace maintenance visit takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the condition of the furnace and any additional services needed, such as filter replacement or minor repairs.
What Happens if I Skip Annual Furnace Maintenance?
Skipping annual maintenance can lead to decreased efficiency, higher energy bills, and increased chances of breakdowns. It may also void the manufacturer’s warranty, and in severe cases, it can result in dangerous issues like gas leaks or carbon monoxide buildup.
How Can I Maintain My Furnace Between Professional Visits?
Between professional visits, you should regularly change or clean the air filters, keep the area around your furnace clean, check for any unusual noises or odors, and ensure the thermostat is working properly.
What Are the Signs That My Furnace Needs Maintenance?
Common signs of a malfunctioning furnace include uneven heating, strange noises (such as banging or rattling), unusual odors, frequent cycling, or a sudden increase in energy bills. If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule maintenance.
