With another Wisconsin winter on the way, it’s wise for homeowners to call an HVAC professional for seasonal maintenance. Not only is it time to turn off the AC and prep it for months of dormancy, but it’s necessary to get your furnace inspected so you know it’ll work correctly. Below are three reasons to reach out to an HVAC technician to handle fall maintenance.

3 Ways to Benefit From Professional Furnace Maintenance

1. Increasing Energy Efficiency

By maintaining your furnace, you will reduce the potential for clogged filters, air leaks, and other issues that can make your system work harder than it needs to. This will improve its energy efficiency and could even reduce your electrical bill.

2. Preventing Fuel Issues

When an HVAC contractor assesses your furnace, they’ll look at your fuel levels. They can recommend how much you’ll likely need for the coming colder months to prevent you from running out when the temperatures require ample heat inside.

3. Inspecting Your System

Inspections are a big part of seasonal maintenance, as they provide you with the knowledge and peace of mind that you’ll be in good shape to use your furnace for the rest of the year. During an inspection, a technician will assess every aspect of the furnace and its environment, from items around it that may pose a fire hazard to the power button, thermostats, pilot light, and gas intake valves. The contractor will let you know if any repairs should be made so you can take care of these issues before running the furnace daily.
