Just because winter is nearing its end doesn’t mean that it’s time to disregard your furnace until next winter. The nicest way to gear up for any season is to service your furnace now and make sure that it is ready to go when it’s needed. Sure, in a few weeks you will be changing your thermostat off from the ‘heat’ setting, but don’t overlook that final winter checklist piece to make sure that your furnace won’t create any unforeseen difficulties this summer and next early fall.
Relying on your furnace after months of dormancy is always a gamble. It isn’t realistic to trust that months of winter means you can disregard your system. That, on top of months of inactivity with your furnace in the summer, can cause maintenance issues and dirt logjam, especially if there is no planned tune-up.
So why right now? Why is servicing your furnace beneficial?
Routine furnace service can help you avoid a number of potential problems within the year, including:
- Hazardous situations with gas or oil trouble in your furnace
- More intricate furnace problems that could create impending furnace replacement
- Reduced efficiency, due to an old furnace
- An annulled warranty after irregular maintenance over time
Skipping annual furnace service and leaving it to chance with Chelan and Wenatchee weather is not the smartest option.
The best way to look at your furnace is to treat it like your car. Vehicles always need certain annual maintenance to keep everything operating efficiently, and without this maintenance, the longevity of your car would decrease. It’s the same for your furnace, and the perfect time to arrange service is now before you forget!
