Why Preventative Furnace Maintenance Matters

October 12, 2016

You have your car serviced every 3000-5000 miles. You remember to get your physical every year. So why wouldn’t you remember to get your routine heating and cooling maintenance in Dallas each season?

You may feel that if the AC kept you cool all last summer, or you didn’t encounter any problems with your furnace last winter, that you don’t need to have a technician come out and take a look. But that’s where you can encounter malfunctions.

Taking your car in regularly helps confirm everything is operating correctly so you aren’t halfway into a 400 mile trip when your car suddenly breaks down. Seeing the doctor annually helps keep your body healthy and catches issues early, like heart disease or cancer.

It’s just the same with heating and air conditioning maintenance. The owner of Sky Heating & Air Conditioning in Portland, Travis Smith, explained it very clearly.

“Think about if only one out of five people who owned vehicles maintained them. There would be a lot of broken-down vehicles. A heating and air conditioning system can run nearly 2,000 hours yearly, and if you imagine it’s running at the equivalent of 30 miles per hour, that means you put 60,000 miles per year on your furnace in between maintenance.”

Smith says the process mirrors vehicle maintenance. “Just as an auto mechanic would explain to the owner that their vehicle needs regular tune-ups and oil changes. There is no difference. Mechanical products need maintenance or they will malfunction and have smaller lifespans.”

So just because your heating and air conditioning equipment was working great last season doesn’t mean it doesn’t need its yearly tune-up. The bottom line is it needs maintenance now, and every year prior to the peak heating and peak cooling season.
