While you might not be quite ready to say goodbye to summer, it’s time to start thinking about the seasons ahead. Your heating system will soon have a starring role in your life, and it’s important to make sure it will have an easy time maintaining your home comfort. If you can’t remember the last time you had a furnace tuneup, here’s how this service can benefit you.

3 Reasons to Tune Up Your Heating System Before Winter

1. Lower Energy Bills

When you go without a furnace maintenance appointment for a while, out-of-date parts and dirty components will begin to affect the performance of the heating system. Before long, you’ll likely see evidence of this in rising energy bills. By scheduling a tuneup, your contractor will clean and replace problem areas as necessary, ensuring optimal performance and decreased utility costs.

2. Peace of Mind for the Holidays

With Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and other major holidays on the horizon, the comfort of your home is a priority. You’ll want friends and relatives to feel cozy and safe as they indulge in desserts, open gifts, and share stories from the past year. However, if your heating system suddenly shuts down because of a mechanical issue that went under the radar, you’ll be left waiting in the cold for emergency furnace repairs. Schedule a tuneup now and enjoy the season with peace of mind.

3. Protect Your Investment

In addition to your family and bank account, you also care about the longevity of your heating system. Therefore, it’s important to know that putting off a tuneup could void your furnace’s extended warranty. These agreements usually state that you must schedule routine checkups with a professional to validate the policy, while a long break in service could leave you responsible for repair or replacement costs on your own.
