Your home’s HVAC system is one of the main components for ensuring comfort year round. The HVAC system is also one of the most expensive components in terms of replacement. One of the best ways to make sure your system stays in good working order and help protect its longevity is making sure you have your furnace cleaned annually. Additionally, chances are your system’s manufacturer’s warranty requires it as well!
In St. Louis and the surrounding area, if you would like to schedule a furnace cleaning, connect with Galmiche & Sons today. From furnace maintenance to repairs or replacement, we are standing by to take care of all your heating & air conditioning needs, whatever they may be.
How Regular Furnace Cleaning Is Beneficial
Like any system, an annual maintenance check will benefit your furnace in a number of ways. Cleaning the furnace annually allows your HVAC technician to not only dust off the moving parts, but also allows them to check for potential repair issues before they become emergency issues down the road.
Here are some of the benefits of getting your furnace cleaned regularly:
- Protect Your Manufacturer’s Warranty – Most manufacturer’s furnace and AC warranties require that a qualified company performs an HVAC maintenance check annually. Having your furnace cleaned once per year protects your warranty coverage from being voided.
- Improve Efficiency – An annual cleaning will also improve your system’s efficiency, which is what you want when those winter heating bills start coming in the mail.
- Ensure Longevity – Having your HVAC system regularly checked and kept in good working order helps increase its longevity and use, reducing strain on the system with normal use.
- Avoid Emergency Repairs – By having your HVAC serviced regularly, you can usually avoid experiencing emergency repairs because your technician will have been able to take notice of failing parts or other potential issues. This one often feels like the most important to families because one thing we have learned in this field is that emergency breakdowns always seem to occur at the worst possible times.
