My Furnace – Should I have it Checked?
Winter is right around the corner, so you may be wondering whether you should have your heating system checked out before you need it. One question that needs to be addressed is do you have a heat pump system or a furnace for heating.
If you have a furnace, here are some reasons why you should have it checked out yearly.
Safety
Even a minor crack in the furnace lines can be a safety hazard for you and your family. Faulty furnaces are one of the major causes of cardon monoxide poisoning.
Energy Efficient
If your furnace is not heating your entire home or area completely, it is not working properly which could cause higher than needed energy bills.
Warranty
Be sure and check your warranty information well, annual maintenance on your furnace may be a requirement to maintain your warranty. If you cannot locate your warranty paperwork, the company that installed the unit should be able to help.
Fire Hazards
Faulty furnaces or heating systems can cause a fire in your home. This is a huge reason to have it inspected yearly before use.
Longer Life
Most furnaces are good for 15 to 20 years, the better it is maintained the longer life you should receive from your furnace, as well as lower repair costs.
