Because if you\u2019re not prepared for the change in weather,\nyou could be in for an unpleasant surprise when fall does hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduling a fall heating system tune-up is essential to\nmaking sure that heater works as efficiently and effectively as possible, for\nas long as possible. And the best time to have this service done is before you\nneed the HVAC system the most\u2014so in the case of your furnace, fall. But, is it\nworth it? How will furnace maintenance really benefit you? Read on to find out!<\/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 part of furnace maintenance. The\nlast thing you need to worry about is that your furnace may become a danger\nduring the winter. This is mostly a concern for natural gas furnaces, which are\nthe most common type found in homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your furnace maintenance, our technicians run through inspection checks that look for areas where your furnace may develop safety hazards, like a cracked heat exchanger or loose gas line. The peace of mind you\u2019ll gain from this is worth it all on its own, but this certainly isn\u2019t the only benefit of professional furnace maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevent Sudden Repair Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When temperatures drop this winter, you won\u2019t want to\nscramble to call for repairs if something goes wrong with your furnace. Could\nyou imagine being without a furnace on one of the chilliest nights of the year?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At AW Heating &amp; Cooling, we provide 24-hour service. However, we\u2019d love to help you avoid furnace problems in the first place by making sure you have a reliable system. Maintenance gives your furnace the best chance of coming through the winter without any interruption in service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine tune-ups also help stop smaller repair issues and\ninconveniences that will add up to both money and time wasted. In fact, staying\non top of your regular maintenance appointments could prevent 85% of the\nrepairs a furnace may need over its service life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extend Your Furnace\u2019s Lifespan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of that service life, it goes without saying that\nyou\u2019ll want your furnace to last for many years before you ever need to replace\nit. A premature furnace replacement is an expense we\u2019re sure you\u2019d like to\navoid. Maintenance will help your furnace achieve the longest possible\nefficient service life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Heating Costs from Spiking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A furnace that doesn\u2019t receive routine maintenance and\ncleaning will wear down faster than one that does. With problems like extra\nfriction on the motors, or burners that are struggling to produce enough heat,\nyour furnace will drain more power to run, causing an increase in your heating\nbills. Maintenance helps a furnace retain 95% of its energy efficiency rating\nthroughout its lifespan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain Your Furnace\u2019s Warranty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The manufacturer\u2019s warranty for many furnace systems only remains current if that heater has an annual inspection and tune-up from a licensed HVAC contractor. Make sure your furnace keeps this important protection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>When you\u2019re ready to schedule your <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/hvac-maintenance\" target=\"_blank\">Maumee, OH heating maintenance<\/a>, contact &#8220;Your Comfort Specialists&#8221; at <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">AW Heating &amp; Cooling<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scheduling a fall heating system tune-up is essential to making sure that heater works as efficiently and effectively as possible<\/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":[95,93],"class_list":["post-426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-heating-maintenance","tag-maumee"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":434,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426\/revisions\/434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
