While the autumnal equinox hasn’t brought about the official start of fall and the end of summer, now is the time to start thinking about furnace service. Sure, you won’t flip your thermostat to the ‘heat’ setting for a few weeks, and possibly months if you’re lucky, but why wait for your furnace to go out in the middle of a winter storm when it could have been stopped with basic furnace service?
The impending colder weather means that you’ll slowly begin relying on a system that has been sitting unused for months on end. While many homeowners in Logan expect no hiccups, that’s not always realistic. It’s not tough to get stuck in the thought that your furnace kept you warm without any problems last year, but that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll have the same lucky break this year. By now you’re probably questioning – “So why is furnace service a necessity?”
Setting up annual furnace service can help you sidestep various headaches that can come up, including:
- A voided warranty due to incorrect maintenance
- Larger furnace issues that could be emerging, potentially meaning furnace replacement
- A hazardous situation if there are any issues with the gas or oil portions of your furnace
- Diminished efficiency because your furnace is operating harder than it has to
Of course, there are more than just these four issues that can arise, but the last thing you want to happen is to not schedule your annual furnace service and have it go out on you when the Logan weather starts getting a little dicey this winter.
The fact is that your furnace, and your air conditioner, should be serviced like a car. There are routine maintenance needs that keep things operating smoothly and at their best, which in turn can help prolong the lifespan of the equipment.
