Furnaces
are a requisite during extremely cold temperatures, and the current
winter season is no exception. While a household tends to stick with
a single furnace for a very long time, the machine can eventually
fall into disrepair. Without proper upkeep, the performance of a
heating system can slowly dip until the appliance eventually breaks
down for good.
There
are ways to prolong the useful life of a heater, such as cleaning the
device and its ducts. Although they appear harmless, dust and other
particulates can severely affect furnace performance by clogging up
the filters. Blocked-up filters, in turn, will force the furnace to
expend more fuel or energy to maintain the settings specified by the
homeowner. If it seems like a furnace isn’t as warm as usual,
householders should try cleaning their systems to restore its
quality.
Cleaning
a furnace isn’t everyone’s cup of tea; it’s an extremely filthy
and hazardous job. Aside from dust and grime, nasty filth and litter
from vermin could end up stuck in the filters, as well as toxic
molds. Those unwilling to risk exposure to these unsavory elements
should hire a professional furnace cleaning service to accomplish the
deed. Not only will these experts save homeowners from having to
handle the dirty job, they’ll also ensure that every inch of the
heating system is dirt-free.
A furnace repair may be necessary for a number of reasons and is not too uncommon in homes with this type of heating system.

Oksana, I cringed a bit when I read about animal droppings and dirt in the duct work. It seems like a regular furnace cleaning will help keep your heating system working in great shape. My parent's HVAC system stopped working last winter, it got pretty cold for awhile. They were pretty lucky their pipes didn't freeze and cause further damage.
