Many homeowners in the Valley of the Sun believe that annual furnace maintenance is just another way for HVAC companies to make money. As heating and cooling professionals serving communities from Mesa to Sun Lakes, we’re here to debunk this persistent myth with facts and evidence.
The Real Value of Regular Furnace Maintenance
Here’s why annual furnace inspections are crucial for your home:
1. Energy Efficiency
– Dirty or poorly maintained furnaces can use up to 15% more energy
– Clean components ensure optimal performance
– Reduced monthly utility bills
2. Safety Considerations
– Carbon monoxide detection
– Gas leak prevention
– Electrical connection inspection
3. Extended Equipment Life
– Average furnace lifespan: 15-20 years with proper maintenance
– Without maintenance: 8-12 years
– Prevention of major repairs
The Cost-Benefit Analysis

What Maintenance Actually Includes
