Furnace Cleaning

Why is furnace cleaning so important? Well, there are many reasons. First off, if too much dust, dirt, or other debris builds up on the internal components of your furnace, it can create too much friction. When too much friction occurs, so can overheating. This could lead to a temporary shut down of your furnace for safety, or your furnace could break down altogether

The other reason it’s so important is that dirt and grime can coat the burners and heat exchangers, making it harder for them to actually heat air. This sounds frustrating, but it can also become unsafe. If your burners have to burn through grime to do their job, it will cause them to “burst” through the debris, rattling your entire system and risking problems like cracked heat exchangers.
