What Happens When Your Furnace Goes Uncleaned?

Skipping regular furnace cleaning can lead to a variety of issues, impacting your home’s comfort and your wallet. Here’s what can happen:

  • Decreased Efficiency: A buildup of dust and debris on furnace components forces the system to work harder to heat your home. This increased effort translates directly into higher energy consumption and, consequently, higher utility bills.
  • Reduced Airflow: Clogged filters and dirty coils restrict the flow of warm air throughout your ductwork. You might notice some rooms are warmer than others, or that your home simply doesn’t feel as comfortable as it should.
  • Increased Wear and Tear: When your furnace struggles to operate efficiently, its internal components experience more stress. This accelerates wear and tear, potentially leading to premature breakdowns and the need for costly repairs or even a full system replacement sooner than expected.
  • Shorter Lifespan: The added strain on an uncleaned furnace can significantly shorten its overall operational lifespan. What could have lasted 15-20 years might only last 10-12, requiring you to invest in a new unit much earlier.
  • System Malfunctions: Dirt and grime can interfere with sensors, motors, and other critical parts, leading to erratic operation or complete system shutdowns. You might find yourself without heat on a cold day.
  • Noisy Operation: An uncleaned furnace often becomes a noisy furnace. You might hear rattling, squealing, or grinding sounds as components struggle against accumulated debris.

Alberta Furnace Cleaning Reviews

I was delighted with my experience with Alberta Furnace Cleaning. From the lovely lady who picked up the phone to the two chaps who came round, it was professionalism all around. I also greatly appreciated being put on a wait list for any earlier appointments. They came around 15 days early and saved me some panic from my furnace. I will be using this company yearly moving forward. Thank you for your hard work, good prices and professional attitude.

Their team was professional, arrived on time and was very quick to get the work done. They were also able to work around me and my spouse while we were working from home. I had a duct, furnace and dryer vent cleaning. The staff was courteous and professional and followed all public health directives. They were able to complete the work in question, they also advised of some additional work I may need on my furnace (which was something their team couldn't do) - I appreciated this as it certainly wasn't a money-grab on their end as they advised they wouldn't be able to fix the issue, just that they noticed it and suggested I get it looked at. That's above and beyond! They even allowed me to rebook my appointment 3 different times due to the pandemic and still have me the deal they were offering in November. On top of providing great service and pricing, they also followed up with a call the next day to ensure I was still happy with everything. I will definitely use these guys again and would highly recommend to friends and family.Service: HVAC duct & vent cleaning

I had a good visit! Used their service 2 years ago for furnace cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Did a second cleaning with them just recently. Both times the men where very polite, informative and quick. I appreciate the call before hand to know when to expect them. Also during Covid they followed all appropriate health standards to make keep me and them safe. Thanks for a job well done!

Alberta Carpet and Furnace Cleaning were excellent. When I asked for a quote, they called me right away and sent it with all the details and pricing. They advised their arrival time and were punctual. Upon arrival, the technicians, Andrew and Lance, put their masks and shoe covers on and went through the service and what it entailed. They were efficient, considerate, thorough, courteous, kind, and professional throughout whole process and went above and beyond to explain details and suggest maintenance best practices to ensure the upkeep of the furnace. They processed payment and sent my receipt with details immediately to my email. I will definitely use again and would highly recommend Alberta Carpet and Furnace Cleaning for their transparency and exceptional work. I applaud Lance and Andrew for their impeccable customer service and professional expertise. Thank you!

Glad we got Alberta Furnace. The price was reasonable for a thorough job. Tic & Roberto did an amazing job today! They worked hard even pointing out things on the furnace to look out for. They were kind and polite and when we get our furnace cleaned again, I would certainly hope for these 2 gentlemen.
