5 Reasons to Schedule a Fall Furnace Maintenance

For most people everyday life is busier today because of things like work, school, and sports. With all the hectic schedules it is easy to overlook routine but important tasks. Usually the problems that are easily recognized and solved during these routine tasks become glaringly evident when an important piece of equipment does not work as it should, if at all, when it is desperately needed. One routine task that is often overlooked is furnace maintenance. In this blog post, we’ll explore 5 reasons why an annual furnace maintenance should not be optional but must be added to your to do list. 

Reason #1 Energy Savings and Efficiency: A well maintained furnace will use less energy and operate more efficiently. This is important because more energy savings equals more money in your pocketbook to spend on things that brings enjoyment to your family. 

Reason #2 Increased Equipment Lifespan: Much like a car, with regular fluid changes, a furnace that is regularly maintained will last longer. A furnace that is regularly maintained will also be much less likely to stop working when the temperature is very cold for days on end. This will help guard against the necessity for having to replace your furnace prematurely. 

Reason #3 Maintain Equipment Warranty: Furnaces that do not get annual maintenance will often no longer qualify for warranty related problems. This will lead to huge out of pocket repair costs that normally would have been included with a manufacturer or company warranty. Having a regular maintenance will ensure that your equipment continues to be covered under the warranty while addressing small warranty issues before they become disastrous. 

Reason #4 Increased Comfort: A well maintained furnace will help eliminate cold spots throughout the home, while helping to ensure that all rooms are evenly heated. You and your family will experience a warm and comfortable living environment that will let you focus on the things that matter most in your life. 

Reason #5 Family Safety: This reason might be the last one on the list but it is certainly not the least of the reasons. A annual furnace maintenance will check for things that can be harmful and or deadly to your family such as gas leaks and carbon monoxide leaks. These type of issues can remain hidden and cause severe problems without a proper annual furnace maintenance. A annual maintenance will give your family the proper peace of mind about the safety of your furnace equipment.
