What does a furnace service include?
A furnace service typically includes a thorough inspection and cleaning of the furnace. This includes checking and cleaning the burners, heat exchanger, fan, and other components. The technician may also check and adjust the settings, test the safety controls, and inspect the ductwork for leaks or damage.
Can I service my furnace myself?
While some basic maintenance tasks such as changing the air filter can be performed by the homeowner, more complex tasks such as inspecting and cleaning the burners and heat exchanger should only be performed by one of our professional HVAC technicians.
What is the life expectancy of a furnace?
The life expectancy of a furnace can vary depending on several factors. These factors may include the quality of the furnace installation, how regularly maintenance is performed, and the conditions of your environment. On average, a gas furnace can last between 15 to 20 years. Electric furnaces have a slightly longer lifespan, with an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Proper maintenance and regular servicing can help prolong this lifespan.
