As the summer heat wanes, it’s the perfect time to schedule preventative HVAC maintenance to make sure your furnace is ready when the cold weather hits. Here are a few reasons why you should schedule a furnace inspection now.

Why Have Preventative HVAC Maintenance in Late Summer or Early Fall?

Since your furnace was last on, the ducts and air filters may have been inundated with dust, dirt, and allergens. Perhaps the pilot light has been extinguished. As a furnace ages, it’s also susceptible to wear and malfunction. Since it hasn’t been operational in months, your furnace and carbon monoxide detectors likely haven’t been recently tested. Don’t wait until your home needs heat before you schedule a furnace tuneup.

Is Preventative HVAC Maintenance Beneficial?

If you don't schedule an inspection early, your furnace may not work when you first turn it on. If you wait until the cold hits before you have it tuned up, you may not have heat when you need it. Heating contractors are at their busiest when the temperatures drop. An HVAC crew will make sure your heating system is prepared for winter. They’ll change out the air filters and clean the ducts. They’ll seal leaks and check the wiring. In short, they’ll do all that’s necessary to guarantee effective and efficient operation and healthy indoor air quality. If repairs are needed, they’ll make them so you’ll be all set when the cold weather arrives.
