Why You Need Regular Furnace Tune-Ups
If you want reliable heating throughout the cooler months of the year, your furnace needs regular tune-ups and repairs from skilled and trustworthy professionals. Our team of technicians at Precision Heating & Air can perform maintenance tune-ups and diagnose and repair any issues with your furnace.
How Often You Should Schedule Furnace Tune-Ups
It is generally recommended that you have your furnace tuned up at least once a year. Having a yearly inspection and maintenance done on your furnace is important for several reasons.
26-Point Precision Heating & Air Clean & Check
When our technicians perform your furnace tune-up, they will conduct a 26-Point Precision Heating & Air Clean & Check. This thorough inspection ensures your furnace is running as safely and energy efficiently as possible, reduces the number of necessary repairs, and provides a tune-up of the entire HVAC system. Schedule your yearly furnace inspection and tune-up in the Fall to go into the cold Winter months worry-free.
Spotting Signs of Trouble with Your Furnace
If you were to wake up to a cold house during the winter months, it would be pretty obvious that you had a problem with your furnace, but sometimes the signs of trouble aren’t so obvious.
Some of the signs you should look out for include:
- Unusual noises
- Noticeable increases in your heating bill
- Uneven heating in your home
- Dust coming from the furnace vents
- Pilot light that burns yellow instead of blue.
If you notice any of these signs, or anything else unusual happening with your furnace, call your HVAC technician at Precision Heating & Air as soon as possible.
How to Ensure Your Furnace Is Safe
While any furnace tune-up and repair should always be done by a trained and experienced professional, there are several things you can do as a homeowner to make sure your furnace is operating as safely as possible.
A few of the actions you can take to ensure your furnace is in good repair and running safely include:
- Make sure the area around your furnace is clean and clear of clutter
- Report any unusual noises from your furnace to your furnace technician
- Make sure your registers are open wherever possible in your home
- Do not keep combustible materials near your vent pipe or furnace
