It’s that time of year, again! The leaves are beginning to fall.

And that means you need to focus on winterizing your house. Part of any good home system winterization program is a furnace tune-up.

But, what makes performing your furnace’s annual tune-up so important? Here are the top 6 reasons why you need to do a furnace tune-up this fall.

We have a lot of information to cover, so let’s get going!

1. Keep It For the Long Haul

Like most things in life, the best way to get the most out of your furnace is to prevent problems before they start. The same goes for cars, appliances, etc.

Regular maintenance tune-ups on your furnace will ensure your furnace lasts a long, long time. It will also help your furnace to perform better the older it gets. 

If you haven’t done it already, get a professional to give your furnace a fall tune-up. It will help get the most out of your furnace and save you and your family money.

2. No Emergency Breakdowns

Some wear and tear on your furnace is unavoidable. Even if you do a great job with preventative maintenance.

It’s worth it to have an experienced professional come out to certify your furnace system’s ready for winter. They can help identify issues in your system before they turn into big problems.

3. Peace of Mind

If you’re in a colder area of the U.S., you know what a nightmare a furnace breakdown can be. Taking the steps to reduce breakdowns and safety issues will allow your family to sleep better at night.

You can’t put a price on peace of mind. It’s worth making the call to our team of furnace professionals in your area.

4. Keeping Your Family Safe

Believe it or not, attempting to operate a damaged furnace can be dangerous. 

If there’s a crack in your furnace’s heat exchanger, carbon monoxide can leak into the air in your home. Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, so you won’t even know you’re breathing it in. And, when inhaled for a long time, it’s potentially deadly.

So, ask the professionals to make sure your furnace is in working order before you run it in your home. Your family’s safety depends on it.

5. Cut Costs

Having an expert come give your furnace a fall tune-up will cut costs on your energy bills. A furnace that’s not properly cleaned and maintained will use more energy than a furnace running in good condition.

Dust and other particles cause components of your furnace to wear down. It also makes the furnace have to work harder to circulate warm air into your home. This can cost you money every month in utilities that you may not even know about.

6. Maintain Your Warranty

Fall furnace maintenance will help keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid. You’ll have to check the fine print, but some manufacturers require that you keep your furnace regularly maintained as part of the warranty.

Not performing this annual furnace tune-up can void your warranty. That can cost you a lot of money if something in your furnace breaks down.
