4 Reasons Why You Need to Check Your Furnace

4 Reasons Why You Need to Check Your Furnace

Man servicing furnace

The heat is on... We’re not talking about the classic Glenn Frey song (admit it — it's in your head right now); we’re talking about the heat in your home or business.

Furnaces are being fired up all over the country, and it’s vitally important to have your furnace inspected. Why?

Reduce your operating costs

Routine maintenance helps your furnace run as efficiently as possible. Homeowners should check furnace filters every month, but annual visits from a service technician will keep all the internal parts clean and lubricated.

Avoid costly problems

Regular maintenance helps uncover small problems before they turn into bigger repairs. A damaged part can put added stress on other internal components. Plus, you’ll pay more if you need an emergency service call.

Keep your furnace longer

Dust, corrosion, and friction all increase the likelihood your furnace will fail prematurely. Proper maintenance will extend its’ life.

Reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

Aside from the main furnace unit, make sure your furnace flue is clear and free of debris or other obstructions. (Some furnace flues extend through the roof while others go out the side of your home.) A blocked flue can cause carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases to accumulate inside your home.

Even if the flue isn’t blocked, your furnace might not be venting properly due to age or other home improvements you’ve made.

 

If you haven’t had your furnace serviced in several years, have that done now. A professional technician can detect any ventilation issues or other problems. You also should install a carbon monoxide detector nearby.

You and your furnace both stand to benefit from regular, yearly service. A well-maintained furnace doesn’t have to work as hard to keep you comfortable...and safe!

While we can’t maintain your furnace for you, we can help maintain your insurance needs. If you have questions about your insurance, please reach out to us. We can help you understand your insurance needs and review your current coverage. We will discuss any potential risk areas that you may have as we enter the fall and winter seasons. Contact us via email, phone at 888.498.8726 or visit our website. Happy Autumn from all of us at Insurance by the Woods.
