You are supposed to have your furnace cleaned and checked each fall. It is very important that this gets done and there are some good reasons why you need it! First you have to maintain it each year in order to keep its warranty. It is like getting oil changes on your car, it is something your furnace needs to run its best. Say you don’t maintain it and then something big breaks like the heat exchanger, you have to pay for that out of pocket because you didn’t maintain your warranty. If you did keep up on the cleanings the manufacturer would have taken care of it for you. That saves you a lot of money in the long run should anything large ever break. Another reason you should be getting your furnace cleaned each year is because it will run so much better which prolongs its life and saves you money. A clean furnace doesn’t struggle and use more energy to run as one that is dirty. You will see a drop in your energy bills if you make sure your furnace is cleaned and checked each year. The next reason to have it cleaned and checked is piece of mind. The technician looks over the furnace and makes sure everything is in great shape. When he finds something that needs repair he brings it to your attention so you can get it taken care of. This way you are less likely to be stranded with a broken furnace in the middle of the cold winter. The busiest days for us are that very first deep cold when the furnace just can’t keep up because it wasn’t maintained or past issues weren’t resolved. Those really cold days have longer wait times for service too. That’s not something you want to endure. Getting your furnace cleaned and checked before the cold winter comes is the best way to go to save money and have piece of mind.
