Heating systems are essential part of indoor comfort during Winter. An annual inspection allows service technician to identify dirty coils, burned out contactors, cracked heat exchangers, clogged chimneys, and any other failures before they cause long term damage to your system.

If you ask yourself, “Why Do I need Tune-up?”, here are some of the reasons why:

  • Improve operating efficiency, which can reduce your home heating costs
  • Identify minor issues to help avoid big and costly failures later
  • Enhance the safety of your system and your family by early detecting and addressing gas/carbon monoxide leaks
  • Maintain manufacturer warranty/home warranty coverage because lack of maintenance voids a warranty on the unit

Performing regular preventive maintenance is an important step with almost everything you own or use regularly, especially something you depend on as much as your home comfort heating system.   An annual heater tune-up ensures your HVAC system is running smoothly, which keeps your home comfortably heated. More importantly, tune-up will diagnose small heater problems before they become larger, costlier issues.

Does you heating system really need a yearly inspection?

There’s no question in getting your heater ready for every winter and tuned up regularly is worth it. Furnace and boiler manufacturers recommend heating tune up as a part of maintaining warranty coverage on replacement parts. In many cases, manufacturers of gas, electric, and oil heating systems require tune-ups. Nevertheless annual furnace maintenance is more than a checkmark to fill on a warranty form. When done regularly, boiler and furnace tune up may reduce fuel consumption over years of use, and prevent malfunctions and breakdowns.

As gas furnaces age, they can become more likely to leak carbon monoxide. Such problems are detected during annual maintenance.

Afar from money, one of the most important reasons to maintain your furnace is your well-being. Gas fueled heating systems are substantial birthplaces of carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless poison. Inhalation can cause dizziness, headaches, and unconsciousness leading to death.

In the lack of maintenance, these failures are ignored, with at times tragic consequences.
