As with any piece of technology, furnaces will have a limited lifespan. To ensure that your furnace will last as long as possible and will run efficiently and economically, correct maintenance is highly recommended.

Why heating systems break down?
A modern furnace is a complex piece of equipment consisting of many parts and components, and long term use will subject your system to wear and tear, as well as to the buildup of debris. We can expect to see cracks and leakages, sediments in pipes, as well as defective mechanical or electrical parts. If a furnace is not maintained, smaller issues can eventually lead to larger malfunctions or a sudden breakdown, as an issue with one component can put stress on the other parts of the system. This is why regular maintenance is the way to go.
What to do when there is a problem?
Apart from your furnace grinding to a stop, or you being unable to turn it on, there are other possible signs that your furnace might be in need of attention. If you discover that energy usage has increased noticeably over a short period of time, this should be addressed. Also, if the furnace just isn’t as effective as it used to be, there may be an issue. Mechanical noises or a burning smell should be attended to. Electrical fuses blowing without any apparent explanation can indicate an electrical problem. Also, any buildup of dust or particles in an inside environment can mean that there is an issue with the system.
What to do next?

When choosing a furnace repair company, there are several things to consider. The most important thing is to find a technician with the skills and knowledge needed to do the job in a professional way. Choosing a licensed specialist will ensure that the technician has taken the required training. Also, for the warranty to be valid, manufacturers require that all repairs are carried out by a licensed technician. Make sure that the company is insured: you can ask a contractor to provide a copy of their insurance documents, showing their liability coverage. Always ask for a price estimate, and also ask if the quote is free.
