Do Electric Heaters Need Servicing

Yes, your electric furnace requires yearly maintenance—because all heating systems require it once a year.

How often should a heater be serviced?

A gas furnace should be serviced at least once a year, preferably, though, in both the spring and the fall. Annual maintenance, including a thorough examination and cleaning of the parts that commonly malfunction, like the air filter, the fan, the pilot light, and the heat exchanger, can usually prevent these problems.

How much does it cost to service your heater?

How Much Does It Cost to Have a Gas Furnace Serviced? Servicing a gas furnace typically costs anywhere from $50 to $300. The exact price depends on the age of your unit and the frequency of maintenance. If you wait years between repairs and your furnace sees heavy use, the cost will probably be higher.
