Labor Day is just around the corner. And you know what that means. School. Football (Bear Down). And the changing of the season outside includes leaves changing colors and, yes, falling temperatures. To prepare for those cooler and then colder days, it’s time to get the furnace tuned up. Here are the eight benefits of a tune up.
1. No “furnace fail.” You don’t want your furnace failing on a frigid winter day. A tune up will ensure that your unit will be able to handle those freezing temperatures.
2. Comfort. The main thing you ask of your furnace is to keep you warm no matter what room in the house you happen to be in. The tune up will make sure you are comfortable inside, no matter how blistering cold it is outside.
3. Saves you money. There are three ways a furnace tune up can save you money.
a. It prevents costly repairs by identifying small problems that are relatively easy and inexpensive to fix before becoming major issues that are more expensive to repair or may even require the purchase of a new furnace.
b. The tune up will allow your unit to run more efficiently, lowering your utility bills.
c. The tune up can extend the life of your furnace, thus pushing back the need to invest in a new unit.
4. Keeps you healthy. The tune up will ensure that the air that the furnace blows into your living space is clean and healthy and does not contain dirt, dust, bacteria and other allergens. This is especially important for the elderly, children and people with respiratory ailments.
5. Keeps you safe. The tune up will also detect safety risks such as carbon monoxide and gas leaks, as well as cracks in the heat exchanger.
6. Helps the environment. Using less energy reduces the carbon footprint.
7. Maintains the warranty. Most furnace warranties require annual tune ups. If you do not get your unit tuned up and there is an issue later, the warranty may not cover it.
8. Peace of mind. The furnace is something you don’t pay attention to unless it stops working. Knowing that it has been maintained will eliminate the need to worry about it.
