Your New Albany residence deserves a proper heating and cooling system to warm you up during the winter months. But we all know that the worst time for your heating system to break down is when you need it the most. We at Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling offer furnace maintenance and heating services in New Albany and surrounding communities.
Furnace Service & Maintenance Basics
Furnaces are known to break down as a result of a lack of proper care and attention. When furnaces work inefficiently, they use up more gas and energy, while leaving you out in the cold or overheated. To prevent using up excess energy and gas, it’s important for your furnace to have a regular tune-up. In the end, this will help save you money while saving you the headache of inefficient heating. Additionally, since tune-ups help reduce the energy your heating system consumes, a regular maintenance check can help reduce your carbon footprint.
Here are some other benefits to consider for tuning up your furnace:
Maximize Your Comfort
When dirt builds up within the furnace it can obstruct the flames, preventing them from burning as hot as they should. As a result, it will not only take longer for the rooms to heat up but will also cap the heat at a lower temperature than desired. At Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling, we will clean your heating system and the rest of your burners so that you can reliably enjoy heating and cooling all year round.
Extend Lifespan
When your heating system isn’t cleaned, oiled, and inspected as part of your regular furnace maintenance, this can lead to premature replacement, which is both costly and frustrating over time. We can’t stress enough that the better your furnace is maintained, the longer it will last!
Prevent Furnace Breakdown
Furnaces can break down as a result of the lack of proper maintenance. When you call Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling for furnace maintenance, you are helping to prevent frequent costly repairs and other inconveniences.
There are, of course, many other things that can go wrong with furnaces. The usual suspect when it comes to heating systems failure is due to improper maintenance, but can also be attributed to general wear and tear. Making sure all your heating systems are in working condition will help prevent the excessive consumption of energy and cost, so it is important that furnace maintenance is part of your home-care routine. Our 24/7 service team is equipped to solve your furnace care issues, so you don’t have to worry.

Furnace Maintenance vs. Furnace Tune-Up
This page covers your furnace’s annual service visit, while our furnace tune-up page is where the seasonal appointment itself is scheduled.
Furnace Repair or Replacement?
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. If a repair costs close to half of what a new furnace would cost, replacement is usually the better long term value. See our furnace repair and furnace replacement pages for more. If your furnace has stopped working, see our emergency heating repair page.
Furnace Maintenance and Warranty Coverage
In order to maintain their warranty coverage, most furnace and air conditioner manufacturers require yearly cleaning of their systems. This is because a lack of annual maintenance can affect system performance, such as causing damage to vital components. As a result, neglecting regular cleaning can result in a loss of coverage, regardless of the make and model.
When you invest in Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling as your New Albany furnace maintenance services professionals, you will be assured that your warranty will not go to waste. We service all makes and models, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck in the cold while paying higher utility prices.
