Have A Gas Furnace In The Lowcountry? 3 Important Reasons Why You’ll Want To Get Your Maintenance In Before Winter
As mentioned in last week’s post, this time of year can be brutal on your heating & air conditioning system.
Especially hard for heat pump systems – which operate during both your heating and cooling seasons – fall can mean your system switches between keeping you warm overnight and cool during the days and warm afternoons.
If you happen to have a standalone heating system – like a gas furnace – then you might already have kicked in on a few times so far this year.
Gas furnaces, like all pieces of HVAC need to be properly maintained to get the most out of them; both in terms of performance and longevity.
A gas furnace that isn’t properly maintained could mean more worry than necessary for you family – and potentially some nights that are colder than they might need to be.
That said, here’s why you’ll want to get your gas furnace maintenance in before the temps really start to dip here in the Lowcountry this year.
1. It’s The Smart Play
Savvy homeowners are always ahead of the curve.
Whether it’s for maintaining other parts of their home or their HVAC system – they keep a firm hand on upkeep to make sure everything’s in great working condition ahead of any heavy use.
However you feel about preventative maintenance, it’s the smart play to keep you and your family warm this winter.
2. Catch Small Issues Before They’re Large Issues
One of the reasons preventative maintenance can make you look smart is that it allows you to catch any issues before they become larger issues.
Often with preventative maintenance plans, you’ll receive discounts for parts replacement, making them an even smarter play for older systems that may have larger repair needs.
3. Know If A Replacement Is In The Near Future
If your preventative maintenance uncovers repairs that are much larger than expected, you’ll again be ahead of the curve as you can arrange a full furnace replacement ahead of any potential breakdown.
Every HVAC system has a lifespan, but waiting until the system completely fails could cause unnecessary stress – getting out ahead of that is a great way to ensure a smooth transition from old to new this winter.
As we mention often here, your HVAC system isn’t just another piece of equipment in your home – it’s an investment in your family’s comfort here in the Lowcountry.
That includes your gas furnace – and having your local gas furnace company maintain it for your is a sure way to keep that comfort investment paying off for years to come in the Charleston area.
