Furnace Maintenance FAQs

  • What is the difference between maintaining a furnace and maintaining an AC?

    Furnace and AC units run very similarly, but their energy input and outputs are what set them apart. Unlike air conditioners, heaters or furnaces don’t require refrigerants or any additional fluid to produce heat, as electricity creates heat on its own. The heater does use more power, though, so it will cost more to run and repair. That’s why it’s so important to be sure your furnace or heater is running as efficiently as possible through regular furnace maintenance tune-ups.

  • How can I maintain a heater or furnace on my own?

    Homeowners can maintain their heater or furnace between formal inspections. Replacing the filter is one of the primary things you need to do for your furnace. Furnace filters are thinner than AC filters, so they require more frequent changes. Replace your filter with a one- or two-inch filter every one to three months. For filters as thick as six inches, replace them every nine months to one year.

    If you know your furnace inside and out, you can also think about cleaning the system, including the combustion chamber, oil filter, and vents. Cleaning tasks require the right equipment and set of skills, though, so we recommend leaving these tasks to HVAC Comfort technicians. When you trust our technicians to take good care of your furnace, you’ll also eliminate the worry that you might damage something if you try to maintain your furnace yourself.

  • How do I know if my furnace needs a repair in the near future?

    HVAC Comfort’s furnace maintenance service ensures that your system is running efficiently, which extends the life of your unit. But if your furnace hasn’t been inspected in a while, it might experience problems in the future that may require more work than an inspection. Here are some signs that you need a repair:

    • Unusual noises coming from your unit
    • Cold or limited air coming through the vents
    • Inexplicable increases in your utility bills
  • How long do furnaces last?

    A furnace that gets regular maintenance will last about 15 to 20 years. Failing to commit to a yearly HVAC furnace maintenance may lead to a shorter furnace life, with repairs costing more and requiring more labor.

    If you’re approaching the 15- or 20-year mark or you’re experiencing unresolvable furnace issues, work with HVAC Comfort to install a new furnace in your Oakland County home.

  • Is it a problem to keep my furnace running in Michigan?

    Keeping the furnace running for long periods of time won’t cause it to overheat or shut down. When a heater continues to run for a long period of time, it will work harder in order to maintain your desired room temperature. At times when it’s very cold and you’re home all day, you can get away with leaving the heater on to stay warm, but don’t leave the furnace on all day and every day, or the unit may wear out earlier than you expect.
