Did You Forget to Service Your Furnace Last Spring? There’s Still Time Before the Real Cold Hits

Although you meant to, you simply weren’t able to schedule furnace maintenance last spring.

We totally get it.

Between spring cleaning, getting out to enjoy the nice weather, and school activities for the kids, thinking about your furnace wasn’t really top of mind.

(And if you recall, the winter leading up to spring wasn’t too bad or too cold).

Now that fall’s here, you may be worried it’s too late to have Appleby Systems visit and tune-up your furnace.

In reality, it isn’t.

Here’s why.

Spot little problems before they become big ones

Although you missed your spring furnace maintenance plan, you don’t want to do it again this fall.

Your furnace is a complicated piece of machinery with plenty of moving parts, electrical components and exposure to gas.

Over time, things can wear down.

This will cause your furnace to run inefficiently, which will add extra cost to your monthly heating bills:

• Dirty burners: This reduces airflow because dirt and debris delay ignition. If you hear any “pops” or “bangs” coming from your furnaces, the burners need cleaning.
• Lack of heat: Maintaining your furnace means maintaining your comfort. When it’s not heating up, that could mean something’s wrong with the thermostat setting, power, gas, or pilot light.
• Dirty air filters: A clogged furnace filter can actually shut down the unit. At the very least, it’ll circulate contaminated, unhealthy air throughout your home.
• It’s noisy: Squeals, screeches and rumbles aren’t normal. This could mean anything from a mechanical issue to constricted airflow or a clogged burner.

Those are just some of the problems a scheduled furnace maintenance visit can detect and fix.

Otherwise, you risk your furnace giving out on you during the coldest night of winter.
