Knowing When You Need Furnace Repair

There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your furnace, especially if it has fallen behind on annual maintenance and inspections. But things can go wrong even if you have been diligent with preventative maintenance. Furnace problems are frustrating, but they really have to be dealt with because they won’t fix themselves. 

A few common examples of furnace problems include:

• Incorrect heat load calculation. A heat load calculation is the amount of heat energy that would be required to maintain the desired temperature. Sometimes, during furnace installation, these calculations are often not performed correctly.
• Incorrect furnace size. A unit that is too big for your home leads to issues like air that is too dry or the furnace short cycling. A unit that is too small will of course struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature. All of these things can cause problems that require furnace repair.
• Increased energy costs. A furnace that is not operating properly can lead to increased energy costs. When a furnace has to work harder, it will require more energy. To reduce your energy bills, it’s imperative to maintain your furnace.
• Improper maintenance. A lack of maintenance will lead to the need for furnace repair because regular inspections and cleanings maintain the good condition of your furnace. Regular inspections can also find small issues that might need a tweak to fix them versus a full-on repair. Dirty filters that aren’t changed out regularly can cause you to need furnace repair due to the extra strain on the unit as it tries to pull air through the clogged filter.

The Benefits of Regular Furnace Maintenance

Routine furnace maintenance offers a host of benefits, including:

• Improved Energy Efficiency: A well-maintained furnace operates more efficiently, reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint.
• Extended Lifespan: Regular cleanings and part replacements can extend the life of your heating system, preventing premature failure.
• Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Replacing filters and cleaning the system ensures that your furnace isn’t circulating dust, allergens, or other pollutants.
• Prevention of Costly Repairs: Identifying and fixing small issues during maintenance prevents them from escalating into costly repairs or replacements.

Energy Efficiency Tips for Your Heating System

Maximizing the energy efficiency of your heating system not only saves on energy costs but also reduces your environmental impact. Here are some tips to keep your furnace running efficiently:

• Replace Filters Regularly: Dirty filters force your furnace to work harder, increasing energy usage. Replace filters every 1-3 months during peak usage.
• Seal Duct Leaks: Leaky ducts can cause heat loss and increase energy consumption. Ensure that your ducts are sealed and insulated.
• Install a Programmable Thermostat: A programmable thermostat allows you to adjust the temperature when you're away, saving energy without sacrificing comfort.
• Zone Heating: If your home has multiple heating zones, use them efficiently by heating only the areas you're using.

By following these tips, you can reduce your energy bills while keeping your home warm and comfortable during the coldest months of the year.
