There are some great reasons to perform maintenance on your central heating system. Industry leading heater manufacturers, such as Amana, Goodman and Bryant, require annual maintenance to maintain the equipment warranty. Just like maintenance is required for cars, it is required for central heaters such as furnaces and heat pumps. The owner's manual describes the required maintenance which is figured into the manufacturer's warranty period.
Performing professional annual or semi-annual furnace or heat pump maintenance will keep your heater clean and properly lubricated, while performing at its peak efficiency. This reduces noise, run time and energy consumption, all of which is a good thing.
It is important to remember there is a reason the state of Tennessee requires licensed HVAC/R professionals to install and maintain central heating systems. It starts with safety. These systems often use gas as a fuel source and need to be maintained by a licensed professional. Maintenance prevents and helps avoid potential system failures and hazards. Maintaining your furnace or heat pump today may help you avoid a costly repair tomorrow. It will keep your family safe and protect your property from a devastating event tomorrow.
