Your heating system is critical to your comfort and your well-being. To keep it running this winter, you’ve got to have maintenance done. This will cut down dramatically (by 85%!) on the repairs your heating system would otherwise need, plus cut your utility bills by improving efficiency. It will even help you keep that same system running for many more years, so you can put off replacing it. A well maintained furnace provides improved energy efficiency, cost savings, and better indoor air quality. Furnace tune-ups improve indoor air quality by cleaning components and filters, reducing allergens in the air.

As great as all this sounds, there is one other reason for you to have this critical service done as soon as possible, and it is truly the most important reason. Without regular service, a heating system can become a safety risk. Routine maintenance and regular tune ups help save money on heating bills and prevent increased energy bills during the cold winter months. Furnace maintenance will keep you and your loved ones safe. Scheduling a furnace tune-up annually can help maintain your manufacturer’s warranty. Here’s how.
