Furnace Maintenance Services
Washington residents deal with frosty winter weather every year, with temperatures averaging around 25°F in the coldest months. The damp chill can make you feel frozen to the bone, especially if your furnace isn’t working properly.
At Kliemann Brothers Heating & Air Conditioning, we provide the Tacoma area with expert residential furnace maintenance services so our clients stay warm all winter.
Why Regular Furnace Maintenance Matters
Regular professional furnace maintenance prevents small problems from becoming big issues in the future. Routine maintenance helps save you money and extends the life of your furnace while keeping it running at maximum efficiency.
Key Benefits of Professional Furnace Maintenance
The key benefits of scheduling heating maintenance services with Kliemann Bros include the following:
More efficient operation: Keeping your furnace in good repair reduces the amount of energy it uses to do its job, helping to lower energy bills and prevent premature wear on the furnace.
Preventing costly repairs: Avoid a future furnace disaster by replacing a failing part or cleaning the filter.
Extending the life of your furnace: With all parts lubricated, cleaned, and working as they should, your furnace will last longer.
Meeting warranty requirements: Many manufacturer’s warranties require annual tune-ups on your furnace to stay valid.
Better air quality in your home: Filter changes help keep the air you and your family breathe clean.
Risks of Skipping Furnace Maintenance
Some common risks homeowners face by skipping residential furnace maintenance are:
Poor indoor air quality
An unevenly heated home
Increased energy bills
Expensive future repairs
If you have a gas furnace, you and your family are also at risk of serious dangers, such as fire hazards and carbon monoxide leaks, if your furnace starts to break down.
How Often Should You Service Your Furnace?
We recommend scheduling furnace maintenance at least once annually, ideally before the cold weather hits. You might want to have a tune-up more than once a year if:
Your furnace is 10 years old or older
You have pets
Someone in your home has respiratory conditions
Your furnace hasn’t been working properly
You notice new sounds coming from the furnace or vents
What’s Included in a Furnace Maintenance Inspection?
Some of the services you can expect when you schedule residential maintenance with Kliemann Bros include:
A 34-point inspection
Reminder service
Repair warranty
Filter replacement/cleaning
Diagnostic services
And more!
How Furnace Maintenance Can Lower Your Energy Bills
A dirty or malfunctioning furnace has to work harder to function normally, which uses more energy. For example, if your furnace filter is clogged, airflow is restricted, and the furnace uses more energy to pump warm air through your home.
HVAC maintenance with Kliemann Bros also includes testing your thermostat and inspecting all mechanical parts to make sure everything is working as efficiently as possible, reducing the amount of energy required to heat your home.
Choosing the Right Furnace Maintenance Provider
When scheduling a furnace tune-up, it's important to find a trusted, local company with good reviews. They should be licensed, certified, and insured and have experience in furnace inspection and repair.
It’s also important that you feel safe and comfortable when technicians are in your home. Choosing a company that values customer care in your local community is key to having a good experience.
At Kliemann Bros, we always put the client first, offering reasonable prices and friendly service. We aim to gain you as a client not just for now, but for life.
Tips to Prepare Your Furnace for Winter
Some ways you can prepare your furnace for winter include:
Visually inspect your furnace and make sure it’s free of debris and grime.
Change the filters.
Check your vents for obstructions like furniture or rugs blocking the airflow.
Test your thermostat.
Check your oil tank to ensure you have enough fuel.
Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
