3 Reasons to Clean Your Furnace Every 3 Years

Maintaining a clean furnace is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of your heating system. Here are three compelling reasons to schedule your cleaning every three years (plus check below for the single best way you can avoid these problems!):

1. Dust Accumulation Affects Efficiency Over time, dust and debris build up within your furnace, coating the internal components. This accumulation forces your furnace to work harder, reducing its efficiency. By regularly cleaning your furnace, you ensure it operates smoothly and efficiently, saving on energy costs and preventing unnecessary strain on the system.

2. Prolonging Furnace Lifespan A clean furnace experiences less wear and tear. Dust and dirt can cause blockages in your filters and corrosion on metal components, leading to more frequent breakdowns and costly repairs. Routine cleaning helps to prevent these issues, ensuring that your furnace runs smoothly for many years. Investing in regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of your furnace, protecting your investment.

3. Preventing Fire Hazards Dust and lint are highly flammable. When these materials accumulate in and around your furnace, they can pose a fire risk. Regular cleaning removes this buildup, reducing the chance of a furnace fire.

Regular furnace cleaning is a simple yet vital task to ensure efficiency, longevity, and safety. Schedule a cleaning every three years to keep your heating system in top shape.

The Single Best Action You Should Take To Preserve Your Furnace System

Even before you book your furnace cleaning, you can help mitigate many of the above problems by checking and cleaning or replacing your filters regularly. Your furnace filter should be checked every month, and you should also check and clean your HRV filter and humidifier pad.

This company knows their stuff, provides great customer service and excellent work. I’m totally happy with how the two very friendly annd knowledgeable associates cleaned my furnace, vents, dryer vent and AC coil. I will certainly book my next appointment with them.

The technicians were efficient and very friendly. They explained what they how and what they were doing. The only thing was there was some sort of residue left on the concrete from their truck all the way to our front door that was not there before they arrived. (Dark stains on our driveway, walkway and front steps leading into the house).

- Maureen Miyagishima

Alberta Furnace crews are professional and thorough from appointment to home service. I had my furnace serviced by someone else before and I can say that Alberta Furnace is far better. They protect the corners, walls and floors of the house and leave no marks behind. Their equipments are state-of-the-art. The best in what they do! Price is fair as well.

- Antonio Jr Reyes

We had our vents, dryer hose, and furnace cleaned today. Top notch service. The gentlemen that came into my home were professional, courteous and very clean. They explained everything they were going to do before they did it and had my approval. Very impressed with Giyeon and Roberto. Great job - I am definitely recommending their company and these two employees.
