5 Reasons To Have Your Furnace Tuned Up This Fall.

As the cold months arrive, households will begin running their furnaces consistently to meet the heating demands of the house. Most people forget about regular maintenance of the furnaces during the warm months, and when the cold months arrive, the furnaces may not run consistently or meet the demands of heating the house. The worst experience you can have during a cold season is an unfunctional furnace and cold rooms indoors.

*This is especially true in Minnesota where the lack of a furnace could be potentially life threatening. 

Having regular inspection of your furnaces soon as the temperatures drop can help you have a running furnace throughout the cold season. Here are five reasons to have your furnace tuned up this fall.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Cleaning and inspecting the furnace burner and heat exchanger is a normal part of furnace tune-up. Besides making the furnace safe for operation, it also improves its energy efficiency, making it capable of running throughout the cold season. 

Proper Airflow

The heating technician doing the tune-up should always make sure that the heating system is receiving enough airflow. Proper airflow is vital as restricted airflow strains the furnace and could mean frequent, costly repairs and a short lifespan.

Maintaining Manufacturer's Warranty

Most furnace manufacturers stipulate that the warranty attached to their products is null if it is not regularly maintained and serviced. You must have a furnace tune-up at least annually to maintain the warranty while keeping the furnace in pristine condition.

Keeping your Household Safe

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a real danger in case a furnace is malfunctioning. After some time, furnaces develop cracks in the combustion chamber, and they leak out carbon monoxide into your house. During a tune-up, the technicians will check for cracks that could leak out the killer gas and repair them, if any, thus keeping your household safe. Regular inspection can catch leakages before it is too late.

Saving Money on Heating Bills

Debris building up in the heating chamber can impair its efficiency by as much as 40%. This can bring about lower air output meaning the furnace will run for extended periods. Lowered efficiency results in elevated heating bills
