Boise residents rely on their furnaces to keep their homes warm, comfortable, and safe during the winter. With Express Plumbing, Heating, and Air’s furnace maintenance services, you can take advantage of services personalized for your home and local climate. We keep your system running reliably throughout the Boise winter.

Why is Furnace Maintenance Crucial in Boise?

With winter temperatures in Boise regularly dipping below freezing, having a reliable heating system in your home is essential. While furnaces can withstand prolonged use within their heating capacity during the winter, regular or heavy usage eventually wears or strains your furnace.

Without maintenance, your heating is more likely to experience a mid-season breakdown, leaving your home vulnerable during frigid winter months. Since demand for furnace repair is typically higher during winter, getting a prompt repair may be more challenging. Add winter storms, ice- or snow-covered roads, and other winter factors that cause delays, and preventative maintenance becomes even more important.

Benefits of Regular Furnace Maintenance

Regular furnace maintenance is a cost-effective preventative strategy that helps maximize your savings on HVAC running costs in the long term. Measuring the benefits of furnace maintenance can be tricky if it’s still actively functioning, but furnaces gradually suffer performance losses over time that may not be obvious day-to-day. Key advantages of maintenance include:

  • Enhanced reliability: Tune-ups mean you’re far less likely to experience a furnace breakdown. Furnace maintenance minimizes wear to prevent failures as well as identifies, anticipates, and resolves potential problems before they escalate.
  • Reduced repair costs: A reduced risk of breakdowns translates to fewer repair costs over the furnace’s lifetime. Resolving a small issue found in a maintenance appointment is significantly more affordable than repairing a problem that’s escalated and impacted the rest of your system.
  • Improved furnace efficiency: Your furnace runs best and at its most efficient with each component clean and in good working order, improving overall performance, decreasing strain on your system, and reducing energy bills.
  • Extended furnace lifespan: By preventing furnace breakdowns and enabling smooth and efficient function with minimal wear, tune-ups help prolong your system’s lifespan and reduce the risk of an untimely furnace replacement. 
  • Better indoor air quality: A well-maintained furnace improves indoor air quality by ensuring proper flow and reducing dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens and irritants circulating throughout your home.
  • Safety assurance: Furnace safety inspections and tune-ups mitigate risks associated with gas leaks and carbon monoxide exposure and keep your system compliant with HVAC permits and other requirements.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Maintenance

Generally reduced performance is a key indicator that your furnace needs maintenance, but performance loss may present in different ways. Look for these signs that your furnace is due for a tune-up:

  • Insufficient heating
  • Uneven heat distribution
  • Increased utility bills
  • Strange noises
  • Frequent cycling
  • Reduced air quality and excessive dust
  • Discolored pilot light
