Avoid Costly Furnace Repairs with Bay Area Air Conditioning, Inc.
At Bay Area Air Conditioning, Inc., we believe there’s more to keeping your HVAC system functioning at its best than just servicing it when something goes wrong. Especially when it comes to your furnace, preventative maintenance can mean the difference between a small, inexpensive adjustment and a costly, inconvenient breakdown. Here are some key steps you can take to avoid expensive furnace repairs.
Furnace Filter Replacement
The most straightforward and inexpensive way to avoid costly furnace repairs is through regular filter replacements. If your filter is clogged with dust and debris, your furnace has to work harder to heat your home. This extra labor can lead to premature wear and tear, shortening the lifespan of your furnace and leading to potentially costly repairs. Checking your filter monthly and replacing it at least every three months can keep your furnace running smoothly and avoid unnecessary costs.
Regular Furnace Maintenance
Just like your car, your furnace needs regular service to keep it in good shape. Regular furnace maintenance can identify potential issues before they become severe, saving you from expensive repairs down the road. An annual furnace inspection and tune-up by a professional technician from Bay Area Air Conditioning, Inc. involves a thorough examination of all components, cleaning, and adjustments as necessary. This attention to detail can prevent small issues from escalating into large, costly problems.
Correct Thermostat Settings
Incorrect thermostat settings can prompt the furnace to run excessively, leading to premature wear and tear. By ensuring the thermostat is set correctly, you can prevent this from happening. It’s best practice to set your thermostat to the lowest comfortable temperature in the winter months. This approach not only saves you money on energy bills but can also help prevent unnecessary stress on your furnace.
Avoid DIY Furnace Repairs
While there are many repairs you can safely do yourself around the house, furnace repairs typically aren’t one of them. Trying to diagnose and fix an issue on your own can be dangerous and can often lead to more problems down the road. Furthermore, many furnace manufacturers have warranties that become void if anyone except a licensed professional performs repairs. Instead of trying to fix a problem yourself, call in the experts at Bay Area Air Conditioning, Inc. We can assess the situation, properly diagnose any issues, and perform repairs quickly and efficiently.
