Furnace Tune-Up in Commerce

A furnace will usually work well for up to 20 years. Regular, careful furnace maintenance can extend the lifespan of a high-quality furnace to 30 years or even more. If it’s been a long time since your heating was serviced, your furnace may not be running at 100% efficiency, making it noisy, slow to heat your rooms, and more expensive to run. It makes sense to fix these issues when you first notice them, rather than allowing a minor problem to turn into a potentially far more costly repair.

• Peace of mind your heating system is safe to use
• Potential savings on your utility bills
• Quieter heating
• More efficient heating and stable temperatures
• Long-term savings on repair costs

Common signs of a furnace that’s in need of maintenance include odd noises or unpleasant smells coming from the furnace, and poor heating performance. If there’s not a lot of air coming from your vents, or the heating seems to be running in short cycles then cutting out again, that’s a warning sign your heating is overdue for a service. By clearing any clogged vents or filters or replacing a worn out blower motor you could get many more years of good performance out of your heating system.
