Why Furnace Maintenance Matters

At Staab & Sons, Inc., we understand the critical role that a well-functioning furnace plays in keeping your home comfortable during the cold months. Regular furnace maintenance is not just a recommendation; it’s a necessity for ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity of your heating system.

Key Components of Furnace Maintenance

1. Filter Replacement: One of the most crucial aspects of furnace maintenance is regularly replacing the air filter. A clean filter ensures proper airflow, reduces strain on the system, and improves indoor air quality.

2. Burner Cleaning: Over time, burners can accumulate dirt and debris, affecting their efficiency. Cleaning the burners helps maintain proper combustion and heat output.

3. Blower Motor Inspection: The blower motor is responsible for circulating warm air throughout your home. Regular inspection and lubrication can prevent wear and tear, ensuring smooth operation.

4. Thermostat Calibration: Ensuring your thermostat is accurately calibrated is essential for maintaining desired temperatures and optimizing energy usage.

Benefits of Regular Furnace Maintenance

– Improved energy efficiency
– Extended equipment lifespan
– Enhanced safety by detecting potential issues early
