Gas Furnace Articles

The average furnace lasts between 10 and 15 years. But did you know you can take steps to make it last longer? There is no shortcut or hack to increase your furnace’s longevity.

Our team at Hamstra Heating & Cooling wants to help you be prepared by providing the following furnace maintenance tips.

Let’s face it—there’s never a good time for the heat to go out in your Arizonia home. You certainly don’t want to wait until your heating system stops working for you to realize you need a replacement! Furnaces are not designed to last forever, so it’s helpful to know when you should be replacing yours. But how exactly will you know when it’s time?

If your furnace seems to be producing heat inconsistently around your Tucson home to you, you’re not alone. Many homes have varied conditions from room to room, causing spotty heating or cooling.

If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale. When in doubt, always open windows to ensure ventilation, and evacuate your Oro Valley home.

If you ever hear your gas furnace turn on but cannot feel any warm air blowing from the vents inside your Arizona home, chances are the pilot light went out.

What ’s at the top of your fall to-do list? Make sure it is your furnace.
