In fact, it\u2019s much\nbetter to schedule your furnace maintenance now, or even in the middle of\nwinter, than to skip it altogether this year. This is particularly true if you\nhave a gas furnace\u2014skipping a tune-up in this case might not only leave your\nfurnace at risk of operational problems, but expose you to safety issues as\nwell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, it\u2019s typically best to have this job done before\ntemperatures drop to their coldest, and sometimes we can get cold snaps far\nbefore wintertime comes around, but if you\u2019re reading this and haven\u2019t\nscheduled your tune-up yet, please give us a call! In the meantime, read on to\nlearn more about the importance of this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safer Operation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most important reason you should have furnace\nmaintenance done. The last thing you need to worry about is that your furnace\nmay become a danger this season. As we alluded to above, this is mostly a\nconcern for natural gas-powered furnaces. This is the most common type of\nfurnaces found in homes today, and for good reason\u2014but with the efficient and\neffective comfort you get comes a responsibility to the safety of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your furnace tune-up, our pros run through inspection\nchecks that investigate places where your furnace may develop safety problems,\nlike a cracked heat exchanger or loose gas line. The peace of mind you\u2019ll have\nafter a thorough maintenance session is worth it all on its own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevent Repair Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When temperatures drop and your inside on a cold night\nenjoying the warmth of your furnace, the last thing you\u2019re going to want to do\nis scramble to call for repairs when that warmth all of the sudden stops\nflowing in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We <em>do <\/em>offer after-hours services for our customers (which are free for our maintenance plan customers), but we\u2019d like to help you avoid these problems to begin with, by ensuring you have a reliable furnace system. A tune-up gives your furnace the best chance of coming through the winter without an interruption in service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance also stops smaller repair needs and\ninconveniences that add up to wasted money and time. In fact, keeping up with\nyour routine maintenance sessions can prevent up to 85% of the repairs a\nfurnace may ever need over its service life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extended Furnace Lifespan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of that service life, you want your furnace to last\nfor as many years as possible before needing replacement, right? A premature\nfurnace replacement is likely an expense you\u2019d want to avoid. Maintenance helps\nyour furnace achieve the longest possible efficient lifespan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Heating Costs Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A furnace that doesn\u2019t receive routine tune-ups and thorough cleaning will wear down faster than one that does. With problems like friction on the motors and burners struggling to produce enough heat, the furnace will drain more power than necessary to run, causing an increase in your heating bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance helps your heating system retain 95% of its\nenergy efficiency rating through most of its lifespan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>For expert <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/service-areas\/suwanee-ga-air-conditioning-heating-plumbing\" target=\"_blank\">Suwanee furnace service<\/a>, contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">DC Cheek Heating, Cooling &amp; Plumbing<\/a>.&nbsp; &#8220;Fixed, At the Speed of Life!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s much better to schedule your furnace maintenance now, or even in the middle of winter, than to skip it altogether this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[108,100],"class_list":["post-524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-furnace-service","tag-suwanee"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is Your Furnace Well Maintained?
