Increased efficiency of your system
Decreased risk of system breakdowns
Lower energy bills

Dangers of Avoiding a Heater Tune Up
A heater breakdown in the middle of winter can mean cold nights and costly repairs. There are multiple reasons to schedule a heater tune up before winter rolls around, including:
Puts Your Family At Risk
A furnace tune up helps you and your family stay safe. A tune up and safety check should always consist of an electrical wire check for faulty, exposed, or loose wiring. If you have a small crack or defect in the heating system, harmful gases, like carbon monoxide, can leak through and lead to health problems and in higher amounts, a fatality can occur.
Increase in Utility Bills
Poorly maintained HVAC systems use more energy which will create a higher monthly utility bill. The U.S. Department of Energy says that “heating and cooling makes up 54% of the average energy costs for a household”. Just as a tune up for your car can improve your gas mileage, an annual tune up of your heating system can improve efficiency and comfort.
Potential for Breakdowns
If you start hearing strange noises from the heater or smell unusual odors from the vents, don’t ignore it and hope it goes away. An annual heater tune up can help you avoid a costly breakdown. An unexpected breakdown of your heating system will create stress, cost money, and everybody’s teeth will be chattering if it gets too cold.
