• Unusual noises or odors.
• Increased energy bills without explanation.

If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to have your furnace inspected and repaired by a professional HVAC technician. Regular maintenance can also help prevent these issues.

How Often Should You Have Your Furnace Serviced?

Frequency of furnace servicing:

• Annual Maintenance: Recommended for most furnaces, especially gas furnaces, to ensure safety, efficiency, and warranty compliance.
• Biannual Maintenance: For heat pump systems, consider twice a year, before the heating and cooling seasons.
• Manufacturer Recommendations: Follow manufacturer guidelines and warranty terms, which may require annual maintenance.
• Age and Usage: Older furnaces may benefit from more frequent check-ups, possibly twice a year, to catch issues early.
• Local Climate: Adapt your maintenance schedule to your climate; harsh winters may warrant more frequent maintenance to ensure reliability.

Regular maintenance helps prevent major issues, enhances energy efficiency, extends furnace life, and ensures safety. Consult an HVAC professional for personalized recommendations.
