Yearly furnace maintenance gives us a chance to identify existing problems that could be the cause of a furnace repair down the road.

Think of your furnace maintenance as you do getting the oil changed in your car. Your furnace is a mechanical system with a lot of moving parts that need to be checked to ensure you’re not on your way to a breakdown this winter. The experts at Woody's Sudden Service Inc in Manassas will review both your wiring and every moving part of your furnace to establish that your furnace is functioning as it should this season and many seasons to come.

Something you can do to keep your furnace operating efficiently throughout the year, and something we mention quite a bit – check your air filter. The complications a dirty air filter can generate are endless, and the solution is simple – change your air filter. It’s such an easy thing to do and it is so important for the life and efficiency of your system. A dirty air filter can create a domino effect of issues within your system. A dirty filter restricts air flow which forces your furnace to work harder to keep up with your thermostat, which hinders your system’s efficiency and the extra wear and tear will shorten your system’s life. Your air filter also has an effect on your home’s indoor air quality as all the air inside your home flows through it. A polluted filter means dirty air.

The longer you wait to fix a problem, the more time it has to further damage your system. When it comes to your furnace it’s best to be proactive and address issues before they become a breakdown, along with an unplanned bill.
