This winter, you and your family will rely heavily on the furnace to keep your home warm and comfortable. Because of this, having a reliable and efficient heating source is extremely important; the best way to prepare your system for the cold season is by scheduling furnace service, even if it seems to be functioning properly. 

The Importance of Annual Fall Furnace Service

1. Ensures Efficient Function

Regular maintenance improves your system’s efficiency. For example, a technician will check that the system has proper airflow, so it won’t have to work overtime to circulate air. They’ll also clean and lubricate all of the moving parts and ensure the heat exchanger is working properly. Efficient function means the furnace can warm your home more quickly, and you’ll enjoy lower utility bills all season.

2. Addresses Safety Concerns

A poorly functioning furnace creates some safety concerns. The unit relies on combustion to produce heat, in which carbon monoxide is a byproduct. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and invisible gas that can cause a range of health issues. The HVAC system is designed to safely release those toxic fumes, so they won’t harm your family, but a malfunctioning system could release it into the home instead. A professional will find and fix any concerns, so you’ll have the peace of mind that your family is safe.

3. Prevents Untimely Breakdowns

When they are left unaddressed, small problems can turn into major issues that cause a breakdown when you need your furnace the most. That breakdown will leave your family cold in the worst winter weather, giving you no choice but to call for costly emergency repairs. Regular maintenance and timely repairs will keep the system running smoothly, so you can rely on it to run without issues all season long.
