When & How Often Should I Schedule Furnace Maintenance?

To keep your furnace running efficiently throughout the Nashville winter, we usually recommend scheduling professional furnace maintenance at least once a year. Ideally, you should book this appointment in early fall before the temperature drops significantly. This timing allows our technicians to inspect your system, clean essential components, and identify potential issues before you rely on your furnace on a daily basis. 

While an annual check-up works well for most homes, some furnaces may need more frequent attention. If you own an older system, have pets that shed heavily, or suffer from allergies, you might benefit from a biannual schedule: once in the spring and once in the fall. Additionally, commercial properties or businesses with high foot traffic often accumulate dust and debris faster, requiring us to clean and service the filters and internal mechanisms more often to maintain optimal air quality and performance. After inspecting your furnace for the first time, our team at M.J. Frick Co. can recommend a schedule that’s right for your equipment.

What Happens During Furnace Maintenance?

During a routine maintenance visit, we can carefully inspect, clean, and verify the safety of your furnace. We examine the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, as these issues can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks. Our technicians can then check the burner flames to verify they are burning blue and steady, which indicates proper combustion. Next, we can tighten all electrical connections and measure the voltage and current on motors to prevent unexpected electrical failures during the coldest days of the year.

After completing safety checks, our focus shifts to maximizing efficiency and airflow. We can clean or replace standard air filters and remove dust and debris from the blower motor and wheel, which directly improves air movement through your vents. Our team can also lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and inspect the thermostat settings to confirm the system cycles on and off correctly. We can take a look at your ductwork to check for issues that might cause energy wastage and uneven temperatures. Finally, we can test your furnace’s safety controls and the startup cycle. 

Once we finish our inspection, we can clearly explain your system's condition and walk you through any recommendations for repairs or, if your furnace appears to be on its last legs, replacement. Because we provide honest advice and are dedicated to providing you with the best possible service, we do not push solutions you do not need. 

Benefits of Regular Furnace Maintenance

Neglecting routine furnace care can lead to a bunch of expensive and frustrating problems down the road. Without regular attention, dust and debris will build up on important components, forcing your furnace to work harder and consume more energy to heat your space. This added strain accelerates wear and tear, often resulting in sudden breakdowns during the coldest nights or a significantly shortened system lifespan. 

Here are some of the biggest advantages of investing in furnace maintenance:

• Lower energy bills. When we clean and service your furnace, it operates more efficiently, meaning it uses less fuel or electricity to reach your desired temperature. This should directly reduce your monthly utility costs.
• Extended equipment lifespan. Addressing minor wear and tear early can prevent major failures, add years to the life of your furnace, and delay the need for a replacement.
• Fewer repairs. Our technicians can catch small issues like loose belts or dirty sensors before they turn into major breakdowns, saving you from larger disruptions and expensive part replacements.
• Improved safety. We can inspect safety controls, gas lines, and the heat exchanger to verify everything works correctly, which helps protect your home or business from fire hazards and carbon monoxide exposure.
• Better indoor air quality. Cleaning the internal components and replacing the filter reduces the amount of dust, pollen, and allergens circulating through your ductwork, creating a healthier indoor environment.
