Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of furnaces?
The most common types of furnaces are natural gas and electric. There are also propane furnaces, but these are more common in rural areas.
Each type has advantages and drawbacks. Our certified and insured HVAC technicians can help you select the best option for your home.
How often should I service my furnace?
It’s important to have your furnace professionally serviced every fall before the cold weather arrives. This helps ensure the furnace operates at peak performance all season, which translates to a smaller carbon footprint and lower utility bills.
Many homeowners also choose to have their furnaces serviced a second time in the spring. This can help identify any issues and perform preventative maintenance that can prolong the system’s serviceable lifespan.
How can I maintain my furnace between professional visits?
Regular filter changes are essential for optimizing performance and improving indoor air quality. You should change the filter every one to three months. You should also keep the area around the furnace clean and free of debris.
We recommend performing regular visual inspections to identify loose wires, damaged components, corrosion, clogged pilot lights, and other potential problems that can lead to malfunctions.
How long can I expect my furnace to last?
This is a broad question, and the answer depends on many factors, including the brand, the quality of the manufacturing, and your adherence to maintenance and repairs. With proper care, most furnaces can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, or sometimes longer. It’s well worth it to invest in a high-quality furnace, as these will deliver energy-efficient operation over the long term.
Can I repair my furnace myself?
We strongly advise against all DIY furnace repairs. Servicing any gas or electric appliance is inherently dangerous, and there’s a considerable risk of electric shock, gas leak, and fire. DIY repairs often void manufacturer warranty coverage as well. If you service your system yourself and a problem arises, the additional cost can easily exceed any savings you may have enjoyed.
