Getting your home ready for fall is important to ensure a comfortable winter. Raking leaves, cleaning out gardens, and putting in storm windows are several tasks that need to happen this time of year. When it comes to inside the house, however, many Hampton Roads homeowners wonder if you really need to service your furnace every year. The short answer is yes! Annual furnace maintenance is important for your home for several reasons.
Annual furnace tune-up services can seem like an extra expense, but the downsides of avoiding maintenance can be costly. When a furnace service technician performs furnace maintenance, there’s a lot going on to help you avoid costly repairs, including cleaning and checking belts and other parts for wear and tear. It’s smart to replace a worn fan belt now, rather than be stuck wondering why your furnace is not working on the coldest day of the year. No one wants to wait for an expensive emergency service call in a cold house!
Why waste money when energy costs are already so high? Annual maintenance helps you avoid furnace problems and ensures your heating system can run as efficiently as possible all winter long. The most efficient furnace operation possible will save energy so you can save money on your heating bills. Plus, a well-maintained furnace lasts longer because of reduced wear and tear.
