Determining the difference between furnace repair and furnace maintenance can be difficult, but at Hurlburt, we know that both are important in separate ways! While furnace repair is in response to noticeable damage, furnace maintenance is something done whether or not damage is present. It is an appointment that is set in advance to help keep your furnace tuned up and ready for even the most extreme weather. That is why we like to call furnace maintenance a preventative form of care. With regular appointments, you will help to proactively prevent damage that could require extensive repairs in the future. Take care of your furnace with regular maintenance appointments from Hurlburt.
One question we get frequently is how often a maintenance appointment should be scheduled for your furnace. While the answer to this question is pretty subjective depending on your preferences, at the bottom line, we would recommend scheduling at least one maintenance appointment each year. Ideally, this appointment would be scheduled a few weeks to a month before when the unit will be used regularly. So in River Falls, WI, we would recommend scheduling at least one appointment sometime between August and September to prepare for the first freeze, which typically occurs in early to mid-October.

Furnaces tend to last anywhere between 15 and 20 years. And while this seems like a long time, unfortunately, some units begin to start slowing down anywhere around 10 years of age. While this can vary from unit to unit, one consistent thing is that, if you take excellent care of your unit, it is more likely to last significantly longer than if you just ignore it as a whole. Help keep your furnace running better for longer with a regular furnace maintenance program.
When you purchase a new furnace—or sometimes when you move into a new house—the unit will come with a warranty. This warranty comes from the manufacturer and guarantees that the manufacturer will cover the cost of any needed repairs or replacements within a certain period. While this is amazing coverage for your unit, some stipulations must be upheld to keep the warranty valid. Most warranties stipulate that there must be regular maintenance done on the unit by an HVAC professional to ensure the damage hasn’t come from user error or negligence. So if you want to make sure your warranty stays intact, set up your maintenance plan today.
Perhaps the thought of paying for a yearly or twice-yearly maintenance appointment is deterring you from setting up a maintenance schedule. While we understand the hesitancy, we want you to know something important: regular furnace maintenance appointments will save you money in the long run. Regular maintenance helps to keep your furnace running efficiently, which means that it will be using less energy and costing you less each month than it might otherwise! Also, without maintaining your furnace well, the chance of major repair costs skyrocket. And finally, without regular maintenance, your furnace will likely last a shorter amount of time, meaning you will have to purchase and install a brand-new unit sooner than you need to. Save money by getting your maintenance appointments set up today!
Finally, one of the greatest benefits that comes with having a regularly scheduled maintenance program for your furnace is simply the peace of mind of knowing that nothing is wrong with your unit. It can be hard owning a home and being responsible for so many moving parts. Large appliances, yard maintenance, cleaning, and more all take up precious mental energy and can leave you feeling stressed and overwhelmed. At Hurlburt, we’re happy to take even a small part of that off your plate. With a regular maintenance plan, we will do all the worrying about your unit so you can simply enjoy the warm air as it fills your home! So whether you are a DIY master or you’re just trying to keep up with what you’ve got, Hurlburt is here to make sure your home is warm and comfortable whenever you need it.
