Furnace services aren’t a luxury, they’re an absolute necessity to keep your home comfortable and safe—and to prevent your heater from needlessly draining your bank account via monthly energy bills. Here are a few of the compelling reasons why you need furnace services for your McKinney home’s heating system.
Save Money on Energy Costs
Most homeowners don't want to pay any more than is absolutely necessary on their energy bills, but that’s exactly what happens when an aging or damaged heating system becomes less efficient over time. Your HVAC system already incurs the biggest expense by far in your monthly energy costs, because your heater and air conditioner need to burn significant fuel to provide the thermal energy that keeps your home comfortable. But over time, your heater deteriorates and needs to use more and more fuel to provide the same amount of heat. That loss of efficiency results in significant increases in your utility bills. Furnace services such as regular maintenance, repairs, or installing a brand-new furnace will restore energy efficiency to your home and save you a lot of money.
More Comfortable Home
While saving money is obviously a nice perk, feeling comfortable in your own home is priceless. While your parents' solution to a cold house may have been to "Just put on another sweater," you should be able to set your home to the ideal temperature for you—regardless of what you’re wearing. Professional heater care will ensure your system is always up to the task of keeping the warm air blasting, so you and your family can be snug and cozy all winter long.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Have you noticed that no matter how much you clean, there seems to be a layer of dust on everything the very next day? Or that you can see visible dust motes floating in the air? A forced-air system in good condition won't have a negative effect on your indoor air quality. But over time, ductwork becomes coated in a layer of dust, dirt, pet hair, and other allergens that are spewed around your home by the forced-air system—seriously lowering the air quality you breathe. Simple furnace services such as duct cleaning, swapping out the filter, and maintaining other components will drastically improve air quality. If you or a family member suffer from allergies, a good heating system cleaning can reduce allergy suffering significantly.
Safer for You and Your Family
If you have a natural gas furnace, annual maintenance is critically important to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide, the colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is fatal when inhaled in large quantities, is a byproduct of natural gas fuel. Normally, your HVAC system vents it outside where it can dissipate harmlessly. But if parts of the system become degraded, it can leak the dangerous gas into your home.
An experienced professional knows how to check for any signs of potential trouble during gas furnace preventative maintenance, and get issues fixed before they have a chance to cause harm to the people and pets in your house. While electric furnaces don't carry the same risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, they can cause other safety issues such as fire when they fall into disrepair. So, furnace services are still important to keep your property safe and sound. You should also have carbon monoxide and smoke detectors installed on every level of the house, especially near sleeping areas.
