Winter is almost here, and with it comes cold nights. California may not get nearly as cold as somewhere like New England, but those ~50°F nights can make it hard to sleep. That’s why it’s a good idea to give your furnace professional maintenance from a trustworthy company like Crystal Blue. California furnaces spend many months as inactive dust collectors, and you’ll need to ensure yours still works when you bring it out. Getting professional furnace maintenance will ensure that you’ll be able to sleep easily during those cool California winter nights.

Here are five reasons you should get furnace maintenance for your California home:

 

Ensure your furnace’s health

We can assume that you want your various appliances, furnace included, to work as long as possible. Your furnace is more likely to break down or die altogether if it gets into bad condition. Getting maintenance from our company can keep your furnace working for a long time.

 

Improve the furnace’s energy efficiency

The Department of Energy estimates that about half of a furnace owner’s energy usage comes from the furnace. Getting regular furnace maintenance can maintain your furnace’s energy efficiency, keeping your furnace from using more energy to heat your home. Having an energy-efficient furnace is about 30% cheaper to run.

 

Save money on avoided repairs

Furnace maintenance isn’t free, but it’s cheaper than an entirely new furnace or major furnace repairs. Regular furnace maintenance can help you detect and avoid problems that could ruin your furnace in the future. By preventing these problems, you can avoid facing a breakdown that will cost you more money.

 

Determine your furnace’s age

Unless you bought it yourself, you likely won’t have an exact idea of your furnace’s age. If you get professional furnace maintenance, we can help you with that. During our maintenance, we can help you determine its approximate age and determine if getting a replacement is a good idea. Ordering a new furnace may be the better idea if yours is getting on in years. Well-maintained furnaces can last around fifteen years, so use that info to help make your decision.

 

Avoid gas leaks

It’s always important to consider your furnace’s health, but it’s especially important if you have a gas model. If they get neglected, they can start leaking carbon monoxide, which is deadly and odorless. Also, neglected gas furnaces can leak flammable gasses that could cause house fires.
