Furnace Maintenance in Midvale, Utah

The best argument for furnace maintenance is that it helps prevent you from waking up with chattering teeth in the middle of the night during a freezing Utah winter. But if that isn’t enough to convince you, regular maintenance also helps your furnace last longer and run more efficiently. Paul Brothers Heating & Air provides complete furnace tuneups to clients throughout Midvale.

Why Is Furnace Maintenance Important?

People joke that things only break at the worst times, but there is often a reason for this. If you wonder why your furnace breaks down on the coldest day of the year instead of a 45-degree day, the reason is likely that the furnace works harder and runs longer on days that it’s 10 below zero and you want your house to be 68 degrees.

This constant running of your furnace tests the worn parts, and sometimes they fail. Our heating company is available for emergency calls 24/7, but you and your family will still be uncomfortable during the repair process. And if it’s the middle of the night, you might be reluctant to wake up a friend or relative to ask if you can come over and crash at their place.

It’s easier — and more cost effective — to get furnace maintenance.

What Does Furnace Maintenance Include?

 

Furnace maintenance — also known as a furnace tuneup or furnace inspection — includes:

  • Checking and tightening all connections on electric furnaces
  • Checking the pilot light (if there is one) and gas pressure in gas furnaces
  • Lubricating all moving parts
  • Checking the drain lines and vents for blockages
  • Testing, inspecting, and cleaning all essential parts

One furnace maintenance task you can do yourself as a homeowner is to change your air filter regularly. Air filters can quickly become clogged with dirt, pet hair, and other debris, making them almost impenetrable.

A clogged filter forces your furnace to work overtime to heat your home. If any air gets through, it’s likely not as clean as you’d like. Aim to:

  • Change your air filter every 30-90 days
  • Use a reusable air filter and rinse it off once a month in the bathtub or outside with a hose

By maintaining a clean air filter, your furnace will run more efficiently, your home will stay cleaner, and you will breathe easier.

How Do I Know if My Furnace Needs Maintenance?

 

There are several signs that indicate your furnace may need maintenance:

  1. Unusual Noises – Banging, rattling, or squealing sounds could signal mechanical issues.
  2. Inconsistent Heating – Uneven temperatures or rooms that are too cold could mean airflow or thermostat issues.
  3. Increased Energy Bills – A sudden spike in your heating costs may indicate reduced efficiency.
  4. Frequent Cycling – If your furnace turns on and off frequently, it might have a clogged filter or a faulty thermostat.
  5. Weak Airflow – Reduced airflow from vents could be due to a dirty filter or duct issues.
  6. Yellow Pilot Light – A yellow flame instead of blue could indicate a carbon monoxide issue.
  7. Strange Odors – A burning or musty smell could mean dust buildup or mold in the system.

Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and improves efficiency. If you notice any of these signs, it's best to schedule a professional inspection.
