One thing that is certain, and has been from the start: a furnace maintenance appointment is much preferred over an emergency repair.
Regular care and maintenance of your furnace goes a long way to avoiding your home going cold in the middle of the night (and always on the weekend, it seems!). It can also save you money, not just on appointments, but on your monthly energy bills and by prolonging the life of your unit.
Annual furnace maintenance stops small problems before they become big problems. This is how you avoid those overnight weekend emergency house calls. It’s rare that a furnace problem gets big quickly.
So usually, an annual inspection and tune-up of your furnace realigns any small shifts in your unit after a year of operation, and catches any small issues with parts when they are in their infancy. Usually these small problems do not majorly disrupt heat production in a way that will be noticeable to you, so bringing in a professional annually is the best way to catch them (and allows you to fix the problem without enduring the major discomfort of a furnace on the fritz!)
Annual furnace maintenance optimizes for fuel efficiency.
If you don’t catch a small issue and it continues unchecked, you may not notice it in the temperature of your home right away. But your furnace will notice it. Not consciously, of course. But your furnace is designed to do what it needs to do to maintain the temperature you’ve set on the thermostat. So if one of the parts isn’t pulling its weight, the rest will work harder to get the job done. And when a furnace is working harder, that generally means it’s burning through more fuel to get the same degree of output. So fixing those small things prevents that from happening, thus optimizing for fuel efficiency.
Annual furnace maintenance prolongs the life of your furnace (saving you money).
Your furnace working harder than it needs to doesn’t just use up unneeded fuel. It puts unneeded wear and tear on the furnace itself. That means it’s more likely to have bigger (more expensive) problems sooner than it otherwise would. And ultimately it won’t last as long due to that wear and tear, which means you’re likely going to have to pay to replace it sooner than you would a well-maintained furnace.
Saving money, fuel efficiency, avoiding emergency visits. There really are no downsides to regular furnace maintenance.
