A home furnace should be serviced annually. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, inspecting components, and checking for any issues, ensures optimal efficiency and safety. Timely servicing helps identify and address potential problems, preventing unexpected breakdowns and extending the lifespan of the furnace.
The lifespan of a furnace in Illinois, or any location, depends usage, maintenance, and the type of furnace. On average, well-maintained furnaces last 15 to 20 years. In Illinois, where winters can be harsh, regular professional maintenance is crucial to ensure efficiency. Signs like increased energy bills, uneven heating, or frequent repairs may indicate the need for replacement. Consulting with HVAC professionals and following manufacturer guidelines for maintenance and inspections can help assess the specific condition and determine when a replacement is necessary in the Illinois climate.
Regular maintenance entails checking thermostat settings, cleaning and lubricating moving parts, testing safety controls, inspecting and replacing air filters, looking for cracks in the heat exchanger, assessing the ignition system, and making sure there is enough ventilation. To maximize fuel efficiency, qualified technicians may also carry out a combustion study. Frequent maintenance ensures the safety and longevity of the furnace by improving performance and efficiency as well as assisting in the early detection and resolution of possible problems. It is advised to adhere to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and seek advice from HVAC specialists.
