Benefits of Annual Furnace Inspection

The tasks your HVAC technician performs during this yearly maintenance visit bring you a number of important benefits including:

• Protecting you from potential hazards such as lethal carbon monoxide (CO) and gas leaks, and the risk of a fire or explosion.
• Preventing unnecessary wear and tear on your heating system’s components by replacing old or damaged parts.
• Identifying and correcting small problems before they escalate into expensive repairs.
• Improving the system’s energy efficiency, so you save money on your annual heating costs.

Routine maintenance can help to prolong the life of your system. Many persons will try to save money and skip maintenance because they see nothing wrong with the system’s performance. Your technician is likely to discover potential problems you were unable to detect. Considering the furnace has not been used for several months, it is best to have it inspected to ensure there are no problems when you need it most. In addition, taking care of your system will help it to last longer, and reduces the need for frequent repairs, or early replacement. In this way, you save more over the long run.
