Imagine that you go to turn on the heat in your house. After a few minutes, you start to notice a funny smell, or maybe you notice strange noises. After a moment of thinking, you start wondering to yourself, “When was the last time I had my furnace serviced?”

If the answer is, “it’s been a while,” then it may be time to get that scheduled as soon as possible, and for very good reasons.

Prolong the Life of Your Furnace

A professional inspection includes a thorough cleaning, getting rid of built-up dust, rust, dirt and debris. Any kind of accumulation can cause strain on your furnace or AC’s motor, wearing them out long before their time. This also includes air filters, which should be replaced or cleaned regularly as well.

Keep Warranty’s Valid

Regular maintenance and upkeep is a requirement for many manufacturers to keep warranties valid. If major repairs or service is needed on your furnace or AC unit, the manufacturer could request maintenance records, and if you don’t have any, it’s possible that you might end up paying for repairs out of your own pocket.

Improve Health

Your furnace and AC circulate air throughout your house, but do you know what that air is carrying and circulating through your home? Dirty air filters and furnaces can contain contaminants like dust mites, mold, pet dander, allergens, viruses, mildew, and more. A technician will make sure your unit is clean of anything that could be harmful to your health.

Saves Money

Prevention care is much easier and less expensive to manage than disaster repair. Internal parts wear out over time and need to be replaced before they entirely fail and cause major problems for your unit down the road. Having a cleaned and well-running unit also means it will be running more efficiently, saving your wallet when it comes to your power bill.

Don’t let your furnace or AC unit go too long without getting serviced.
