Furnace Maintenance
Energy efficiency – A dirty furnace has to work harder, thus leading to higher energy bills. In order to produce the same amount of heat it would if it were clean, it will have to run longer.
Safety – If your furnace is not properly maintained, many serious problems can result. If soot is allowed to accumulate, it can spread through your home’s vents and lead to respiratory problems. And of course, faulty wiring in an electric unit can result in a fire.
Repair expenses – Failing to have maintenance performed regularly can lead to minor problems becoming serious, leading to costly repairs. It makes more sense to spend a little money now to address small problems rather than spend a lot more to fix major problems later.
