Furnace Maintenance
Is Furnace Maintenance Important?
Are you often calling HVAC services for something that needs repairing or investigating? If so, you may benefit from having preventative maintenance for your furnace. Furnace maintenance helps to prevent breakdowns, reduces the need for repairs, and ensures that your system runs efficiently.
To help you understand how important preventative furnace maintenance is, here is everything you need to know about the service.
What Is Included in Furnace Maintenance?
Furnace maintenance helps to prevent any issues with your heating system and increases system efficiency and longevity.
During your furnace maintenance service with Tinmen Mechanical 72 Degrees® Air Conditioning and Heating, our technicians will perform a thorough inspection of your entire system. Our technician will also do a furnace tune-up, which includes cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, and testing the system’s components to ensure everything is working well.
Here is a checklist for what you can expect to happen during your furnace maintenance with Tinmen Mechanical 72 Degrees® Air Conditioning and Heating's contractors:

How Often Should You Have Your Furnace Cleaned & Inspected?
All furnace manufacturers recommend furnace maintenance at least once a year. Your furnace maintenance will keep your heating system running smoothly, by reducing the number of repairs that may otherwise be needed.
The best time to book your furnace maintenance service is before the winter season begins. After a summer of not using your heating system much, it is important to make sure that everything is working as it should so your family is comfortable throughout the cold season.
What Are the Benefits of Furnace Maintenance?
There are many benefits to having regular furnace tune-ups. Preventative maintenance can:
Reduce the number of breakdowns in your heating system.
During your tune-up, our technician will highlight and address any issues that could lead to bigger problems. This results in fewer emergency repairs being needed as your system is kept running smoothly.
Reduce your energy bill.
Ensuring that the furnace is running as the manufacturer intended will help you save money in energy costs. When your furnace is running correctly, energy consumption is reduced!
Extend the service life of your heating system.
A well-looked after heating system will continue running for many years to come, costing you less not only in repairs but replacements too.
