- For your warranty. Many warranties are not valid if your furnace is not properly maintained. So spending a little money for maintenance can protect you from a major expense if something goes wrong during the warranty period.
- For your safety. Your homes furnace emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, un-burnt methane, sulfur dioxide and other dangerous gasses. Normally they are emitted outside your home. An inspection will make sure your furnace is indeed emitting them outside.
- For your health. A poorly maintained furnace can also spread virus-causing germs into your house, increasing the chances of catching a cold or the flu.
- For your system’s life and health. An inspection can identify small problems before they become large problems that require a major expenditure or even require the purchase of a new system.
- For your financial health. About 46% of the utility costs for a 3,000 square foot home are for heating and cooling. A tune up will make sure your furnace is running efficiently, keeping your energy costs down.
