How Often Should You Service a Furnace in Chilliwack, BC?

Regular furnace maintenance can help homeowners catch developing problems before they become an unexpected no-heat call. In Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley, a furnace may operate for long periods during the heating season, so routine inspection and cleaning are an important part of keeping a heating system dependable.

How often should a furnace be serviced?

For most homes, an annual furnace inspection and maintenance visit is a practical starting point. A technician can review the furnace’s condition, airflow, electrical components, ignition and safety-related components, and identify signs of wear. Older systems or systems with recurring problems may need more frequent attention based on their condition.

What does furnace maintenance include?

The exact work depends on the equipment and its condition. A professional maintenance visit can include inspection of the heat exchanger and combustion-related components, checking electrical connections and controls, examining filters and airflow, inspecting the blower and condensate system where applicable, and testing the system’s operation.

Signs your furnace should be checked sooner

• Uneven heating between rooms
• Unusual noises or repeated cycling
• A furnace that struggles to reach the thermostat setting
• Unexpected increases in operating costs
• Frequent shutdowns or error codes
• Weak airflow from vents
