Why Is It So Important to Maintain Your Furnace?
Avoiding those 5°F winters here in Bayport is obviously the main benefit of keeping your furnace well maintained (and therefore fully functional), but there are a bunch of other benefits you might not have considered:
- Improved Air Quality
- A More Cost-Effective Solution Over Time
- Enhanced Safety
- No More Random Breakdowns
- Generally Better Efficiency
- Better Lifespan
When Should I Get Furnace Maintenance?
At Hurlburt, we’d usually suggest that you’re scheduling our maintenance services a minimum of once a year, but twice ideally so that we can ensure you’re not going to run into any issues with your furnace that impact it throughout those freezing winter months in Bayport – it’s generally best that your arranging one of these check-ups during fall or summer so that you’re not suffering in the cold yet.
With that in mind, if a slightly more alarming issue props up with your furnace such as flickering or yellow flames, this is something you don’t want to wait around to address and you should contact our team of HVAC experts immediately – any flame that isn’t a strong, blue color is usually a sign of a corroded heat exchanger, something that’s likely going to cause fatal carbon monoxide leaks if you neglect it for much longer.
What Are The Most Common Issues with Furnaces in Bayport, MN?
Although issues with your furnace can obviously happen anywhere, there are still a few particular problems that our HVAC technicians tend to notice are higher in Bayport:
- High Allergen and Pollen Levels: Whether it’s the SNA or the large wooded area around Barkers Alps Park, a lot of the green spaces around Bayport can result in relatively high pollen and allergen build-ups that’s going to reduce your furnace’s efficacy if it’s not cleaned regularly.
- Traffic Related Pollution: With Highway 95 running directly through the middle of Bayport, there can be a decent amount of air pollution that ultimately clogs your furnaces’ air filters once it infiltrates your home, causing it to run less efficiently.
- Excess Humidity: The St. Croix River is right next to Bayport, and the high humidity levels that stem from here can end up corroding your heat exchanger over time if it’s not properly maintained – this one’s particularly dangerous as it can lead to carbon monoxide leaks.
Stay Warm This Winter with a Furnace You Can Rely On
Once winter is finally over and those familiar 86°F Bayport summers are in full swing again, you’re naturally going to focus your attention over to your AC systems rather than thinking about your furnace – as such, this is actually the best time to schedule our furnace maintenance services as you can guarantee you’re not going to have any furnace-related issues by the time winter is here again.
With that in mind, we definitely appreciate that not every person is going to have the time, funds or overall foresight to book a maintenance check-up in advance, and as a result, you could find yourself freezing come January when your furnace isn’t operating properly. If this is something that you can relate to, keep in mind that we also do 24/7 emergency furnace repairs – so whether you’re being proactive or reactive, you won’t be suffering in the cold next winter.
Having said that, sometimes, our HVAC technicians notice more issues with our customers’ furnaces than what their budget can afford, so in a lot of these situations, it’s actually more cost-effective to just outright replace their furnace. Naturally, we’d still be able to make the necessary repairs if you’re not ready to make replacements just yet, but as mentioned earlier, this is not always the cheapest option.
So, if you’re interested in upgrading your furnace, make sure you’re opting for our furnace installation services instead; again, it’s usually the most cost-effective option for people with severely poorly maintained or aging furnaces – especially if your current one is around 15-20 years old and wear and tear is only necessitating more and more repairs.
