Does Your Furnace Need Servicing? 3 Signs It's Time

Your furnace is going to need to be serviced from time to time, and it will not run for very long without some sort of maintenance. If you aren't maintaining your system, you may end up with a breakdown over time. If you find that your system is not running as it once did, it may be time to have it serviced. If you aren't sure when to have your system serviced, or just get a good maintenance once-over, read on for some signs that it may be time.

1. The Age Of Your System 

If your system is an aging system, you may want to consider having it serviced in order to prevent a breakdown that could be detrimental to your system. If your system is on the older side, you should consider having it serviced to ensure it is working to its full potential. An aging system can run for a long time, but it has to be serviced and maintained in order for this to happen. An aging system may need more maintenance than some other newer systems, so keep this in mind if you haven't had your system serviced in a while and it's on the older side.

2. You Have A Lot Of Pets Or A Large Family

You should consider having your heating system serviced if you have a lot of family in your home or you have a lot of pets. This may mean more dander and dust in your home, and you could have a very dirty system. You should hire a professional to service your system to ensure it is clean and offer you and your family the best air possible to prevent breathing problems.

3. Your System Is Sluggish

If you have noticed that your system is acting sluggish, is slow to turn on, or is having problems keeping up with the temperature in your home, you may want to consider having it serviced to prevent a breakdown before it occurs. A sluggish system may be a sign of something bigger to come and you should stay ahead of it before you have a major problem on your hands.

If you have any of these signs, you should consider having your heating system serviced to prevent a costly breakdown of your system. Have your heating system maintained by a professional on a routine maintenance schedule and have it repaired by a professional if you run into a problem.
