One aspect of an annual furnace inspection or tune-up involves the technician checking the air flow. If he or she finds that it is diminished, this is a sure sign that it’s time to clean the evaporator coil to maximize efficiency.
While your furnace may have an exceptional Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) number, if it is not maintained and cleaned regularly, it will operate at less-than-peak efficiency, placing a drain on your wallet and a strain on the environment.
In the end, a furnace is just like a car and thus requires regular servicing. Not only does annual servicing ensure your safety, but it will also be much cheaper in the long term when compared to the price of a new furnace.
