Lowell Furnace Maintenance Services

Regular maintenance helps to ensure that your furnace is running as efficiently as possible, thus helping to keep utility bills lower. With gas, oil, and electricity prices surging, keeping your fuel costs down can make a huge difference on your budget this winter. Wouldn't it be great to be able to turn on your furnace without worrying about how much those hours of comfort might cost you when the bill comes due? With regular maintenance, an average homeowner can see energy savings of up to 10 percent. So go ahead, switch your unit on and enjoy your home in comfort.

In addition to potentially saving on energy costs, regular maintenance can also help to extend the life span of your furnace by helping it run more efficiently and reducing the risk of costly repairs in the future. Annual furnace maintenance can delay a furnace replacement for up to five or sometimes even up to ten additional years!

When Should You Maintain Your Furnace? 

Furnace tune-ups should be done annually or bi-annually, depending on the type of furnace you have. The average furnace should generally receive a tune-up just before the start of the cooling season, so we tend to recommend early autumn (such as September to early October). Dual-function units (such as reversible heat pumps that perform both heating and cooling duties) should be inspected and maintained twice a year: in the spring and in the autumn. A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating, Inc. inspects and maintains heat pumps as well, ensuring that electric-based heating systems are tuned up and ready to go for when you need them the most!
