What is a potential outcome of inadequate maintenance of fans and blowers in a heating system?

Inadequate maintenance of fans and blowers in a heating system can lead to system failure. Fans and blowers are crucial components responsible for distributing heated air throughout a space and maintaining proper air circulation within the system. When these components are not maintained, issues such as dust buildup, worn-out parts, and mechanical failures can occur, leading to inefficient operation or complete breakdown.

Over time, insufficient maintenance can result in decreased airflow, causing the heating system to work harder than necessary to reach the desired temperature. This increased effort can cause overheating, damage to other components in the system, or even complete failure of the heating system. Regular maintenance, including checking for wear and cleaning, helps to ensure that fans and blowers operate efficiently, thereby preventing these detrimental outcomes.
