It’s Time to Schedule a Furnace Tune-Up with Amazing Air!

Now that the fall season is in full swing, one of the top items on your to-do list should be: “schedule a furnace tune-up with Amazing Air!” Getting a tune-up is one of the best things you can do to avoid problems with your furnace this year, and it will also help keep your heating bills low. Today we’re going to talk about why it’s important to schedule a furnace tune-up every year and what goes into a tune-up from Amazing Air!

Why is it important to schedule a furnace tune-up every year?

Your furnace works hard throughout every heating season, and problems can develop with your system over time. These problems can cause your system to operate inefficiently, in addition to making your home uncomfortable and increasing the likelihood of a breakdown.

By scheduling a tune-up before winter hits, you can bring your system back up to its peak performance and efficiency levels and ensure that it is fully-prepared to take on the cold weather ahead. Not only will this help you avoid a furnace breakdown during the dead of winter, but it will also minimize your monthly heating bills.

Another important reason to schedule a furnace tune-up every year is because it will make sure that your furnace is running safely. Because your furnace is a fuel-burning appliance, it emits carbon monoxide during the heating process. Normally, this dangerous gas is vented out of your home, but problems like a cracked heat exchanger or a blocked flue can allow carbon monoxide to build up in your home’s air. During a tune-up, we’ll perform a full safety inspection and ensure that your system does not have any problems that can lead to carbon monoxide leaks or fire hazards.
