Benefits of Furnace Maintenance
Many homeowners in Los Angeles know that their furnace requires regular maintenance and check-ups, but only a few people take this seriously. If you lose track of your furnace maintenance schedule, your system is at risk of completely breaking down when you need it most.
Here are a few benefits of frequent furnace maintenance:
Prevents Costly Repairs & Breakdowns
The last thing you want is an unexpected expense and the frustration of a broken heating system.
A technician can spot wear and tear or hidden issues during furnace maintenance appointments. Then, they can fix broken or worn-out components to prevent expected and costly repairs. Schedule furnace maintenance in early fall or spring so it works perfectly at the onset of winter.
Regular maintenance can prevent repair issues like:
- Gas leaks
- Unusual noises
- Broken blower motor
- Faulty thermostat
Reduce Your Energy Bills
A furnace can take up a significant share of a home’s energy bill. That adds up if Los Angeles experiences a particularly chilly winter. There’s a silver lining— regular furnace maintenance.
A well-tuned and maintained furnace is highly efficient and uses less energy. Studies have shown that regular furnace maintenance can save up to 30% of your energy bill. Simple routines like changing the filter can increase your energy savings.
Scheduled maintenance of coil fins ensures your furnace operates at peak performance, which can lower your energy bills and enhance your home’s comfort.
Enhance the Lifespan of Your Furnace
With proper care and maintenance, a furnace can last 15 to 20 years. However, premature breakdown can occur without regular maintenance.
A furnace technician extends its lifespan by:
- Keeping ducts clean and sealed
- Prompt repairs
- Changing air filters
- Clearing clutter or debris around the furnace
Improved Indoor Air Quality
As the furnace system runs, it circulates air throughout your home, carrying allergens, pet dander, dust, and other pollutants that accumulate in the duct. Maintenance includes duct clean-up, which eliminates contaminants that pollute indoor air.
When a technician removes contaminants and debris from air ducts, you reduce the chances of allergies and respiratory ailments caused by poor indoor air quality.
Our Furnace Maintenance Checklist in Los Angeles
America First Plumbing and HVAC works with each homeowner so they can provide customized maintenance service depending on their home and furnace system. Whether your unit is electric, gas, or propane, we’re prepared to take excellent care so you get the most out of your furnace.
Our technicians use the following checklists during maintenance:
Inspect and Clean the Air Filter
We replace or clean the furnace filter for proper airflow, efficiency, and energy savings.
Inspect the Heat Exchanger and Burner
Our technicians will inspect the heat exchanger for signs or cracks, clean the interior or exterior surfaces, and replace worn-out components. They’ll also use a brass wire to remove carbon deposits and build-up from the burners.
Test Safety Controls
We also verify the functionality of flame sensors, safety switches, and limit controls for safe operation.
Maintain Furnace Ducts
Our technicians will also clean vent covers, seal any leaks in the ductwork, and check for dust build-up in the return registers.
Check the Thermostat
A furnace will maintain the thermostat by cleaning it, adjusting its settings, clearing error codes, and changing batteries.
Examine Blower Components
A technician will use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the blower component. Regular maintenance of the blower motor prevents it from working harder because of restricted airflow, enhancing furnace efficiency.
Inspection of Gas Connections
We’ll also look for leaks and improper connections in gas furnaces to enhance safety and efficiency.
