January is one of the coldest months in Rockwall, and many homeowners rely on their furnaces daily. Without proper maintenance, even a well-functioning furnace can lose efficiency, break down unexpectedly, or pose safety risks. A furnace tune-up not only ensures your system operates at peak performance but can also extend its lifespan and reduce heating costs.
Signs your furnace needs a tune-up:
- Uneven heating throughout the home
- Unusual noises such as rattling, banging, or squealing
- Rising energy bills despite normal usage
- Frequent cycling on and off
Furnace maintenance tips:
- Inspect and Clean Components: Check burners, coils, and heat exchangers for wear or buildup.
- Replace Air Filters: Clean filters improve airflow, efficiency, and indoor air quality.
- Check Thermostat Performance: Ensure accurate temperature readings and proper programming.
- Examine Ductwork: Leaks or blockages can reduce efficiency and heat delivery.
- Test Safety Features: Carbon monoxide detectors and limit switches should function correctly.
