What Is a Furnace & What Is Its Purpose?
A furnace is a heating system that uses hot air to heat a home. The hot air is produced by a burner fueled by natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity. The furnace blows the hot air through a network of ducts, delivering heat to rooms throughout the house.
To keep the air in the ducts from getting too hot, the furnace also contains a blower, which circulates cool air through the system.
Furnaces are efficient at heating homes and are typically used in cold climates. Although furnaces are most commonly used for central heating, they can also serve other purposes, such as drying clothes or heating water.
Why Get Annual Maintenance?
There are several reasons why you should get annual maintenance for your furnace. First, it helps keep your furnace running smoothly and efficiently. Regular maintenance can also help prevent minor problems from turning into big (and expensive) ones. Annual furnace tune-ups can also help extend the life span of your furnace.
At Willard Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, & Electrical, our certified HVAC technicians will inspect your furnace for potential problems and make necessary adjustments or repairs. We’ll also clean the burner assembly and check the flue draft to ensure your furnace operates as safely and efficiently as possible.
Protect your furnace during chilly winters with our preventative maintenance and tune-ups.

What’s Included in Heating Maintenance?
The goal of heating maintenance is to ensure your furnace or heat pump is running as well as possible, minimizing wear and tear and preventing surprises.
To that end, the process involves:
- A thorough assessment of different functions and components, especially anything that can wear down, lose calibration, or loosen, like blowers, belts, thermostats, or electrical connections.
- If anything needs to be replaced, lubricated, cleaned, tightened, or otherwise adjusted, the team will handle that.
- We’ll test for any unexpected behaviors or potential problems that could cause breakdowns, reduced service life, danger to your home and family, or energy waste.
Different heating systems may involve different steps. Still, the goal is always to completely understand your system and prepare it to offer the best possible performance, reliability, and efficiency in the year ahead.

Preventative Maintenance Is Key
In addition to annual tune-ups, there are also some things you can do monthly or quarterly to help keep your furnace in good condition. These preventative maintenance tasks include changing the air filter, checking the pilot light (if applicable), and ensuring that nothing is blocking the flow of air through the ductwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I skip heating maintenance?
Skipping maintenance means your system works harder to achieve the same comfort level. At the same time, minor issues may develop and worsen over time without professional attention. You’ll spend more on energy, repairs, and replacement by skipping maintenance.
Do heat pumps and ductless mini-splits need annual maintenance?
Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits can lose efficiency, cause electrical problems, and wear down early without routine maintenance. If you use either for cooling as well, you’ll want twice-annual maintenance — once before summer and once before winter.
How can I prepare for extreme weather?
Keeping up with heating maintenance is a good step for preparing your home for the worst the winter can throw at you. Winterizing your home is also important to minimize the energy required to keep you comfortable and keep you safe longer if power goes out.
Texas has experienced severe winter storms in the past few years, and preparing yourself and your home gives you a better chance to avoid breakdowns at the worst possible time.
