You might only use your furnace during the coldest months of the year, but it does get a lot of work, even in Alabama. As a result, regular inspections and tune-ups are important to keep it running as it should. The team at Air One Heating & Cooling in Foley recommend having an inspection done once a year to ensure it works through the winter months.

What Are Furnace Inspections?

A furnace inspection ensures the system operates efficiently, reducing your fuel and energy waste and lowering your heating costs. When a technician comes to your home for an inspection and tune-up, they will clean the system to remove all debris or dust that has built up over the past year. They’ll also check the controls to ensure it operates safely and test its performance so that you know it’s in top condition. To make sure none of the components will break down in the coming months due to neglect, they’ll inspect the individual parts, from electrical connections to the thermostat. They might also lubricate moving parts, if needed.

Why Are They Important?

One of the major benefits is that you’ll prevent an unnecessary breakdown, which leaves your family unprotected in the cold and requires expensive emergency repairs. The tune-up will leave the system running as efficiently as possible, saving you on energy costs and minimizing dangerous health risks, such as carbon monoxide leaks. Regular maintenance will also extend the life span of the system, usually around 15 to 20 years, which will save you both money and trouble in the long run.
