When winter is approaching, you should do whatever you can to ensure your furnace is ready to handle the demands of Connecticut’s cold. The best way to do this is to hire a contractor or technician to come inspect and perform maintenance on your gas furnace before the cold sets in. Here are the three main reasons why this is critical.

Why You Should Hire a Contractor to Inspect Your Furnace

1. You Need an Annual Tune-Up Anyway

The EPA recommends getting your HVAC or gas furnace system tuned up annually to maintain high efficiency. Scheduling this annual tune-up before winter ensures that your furnace will be in prime condition for the coldest months of the year. It reduces the risk that your system will break down when you need it the most.

2. It Will Prevent Breakdowns During Winter

This includes blockages, poorly oiled parts, clogged filters, and broken pieces. Having everything inspected and any furnace repair needs addressed will prepare your system for a long winter.

3. Your Energy Bills Will Be Lower

Along with identifying and replacing faulty parts, a tune-up will include changing your filters, measuring the efficiency of your system, lubricating moving parts, checking the connections, and examining the burners. All of this leads to a more efficient oil or gas furnace system that can comfortably heat your home without raising your energy bills.
