Yes — furnace maintenance is necessary every year. Most major furnace failures (cracked heat exchangers, motor burnouts, ignition failures, gas valve problems) trace back to issues that an annual tune-up would have caught while they were still small. Manufacturers also require annual maintenance to keep the warranty valid.
Why annual maintenance pays off
- Catches small issues before they become breakdowns
- Maintains manufacturer warranty
- 10–15% lower energy bills from clean equipment
- 5+ extra years of equipment life
- Prevents CO leaks from cracked heat exchangers
