Emergency Heating Repair May Not Be Necessary with an Annual Inspection

When your furnace goes out in winter, the only solution is to contact a heating and cooling professional right away, or else you will have no heat. But did you know that emergency heating repair isn't always necessary when you have an annual heating inspection?

Heating repair professionals recommend scheduling at least one inspection a year to ensure that your furnace or HVAC is working like it's supposed to. In doing so, you will completely prevent the need for emergency service.

In fact, not only do service technicians recommend an annual inspection, so does your furnace manufacturer. If you still have the manual for your unit (it's sometimes attached to the outside in a plastic bag), take a look inside for inspection timeframes.

What does an inspection do for your furnace?

A yearly inspection acts like a tune-up for your furnace, and it also ensures that all of the pieces and parts are still functioning as normal.

Further, when was the last time you had a safety check for your furnace? A service technician can provide you with a safety inspection so that you can rest easy knowing that nothing dangerous is going on without your knowledge.

Why not do it DIY?

While various items can quickly and easily be done by a homeowner, like changing furnace filters and vacuuming ducts, it is possible that larger issues will be missed in the process. So even if you plan the DIY route, an annual inspection is still advised.

Don't skip a furnace inspection this year. A simple call to a local heating and cooling professional can save you big headaches in the future.
