As winter approaches in Lexington, Kentucky, you need to be sure your furnace is ready for the upcoming change in weather. Here are a few reasons why servicing your furnace before winter can help with your comfort and your budget.
1. Lower Heating Costs
Over the summer, the furnace doesn’t receive as much use as it does during the winter, if any. During that time, the furnace can sustain different types of damage. Even if the furnace doesn’t show any signs of damage, an HVAC professional should still inspect it and perform a tune-up to ensure it is operating at its peak performance.
2. Extend the Life of the System
With proper maintenance, an HVAC system can last as much as 15 years. Neglecting to maintain this system can cause premature wear and tear and overall system failure. Getting a tune-up ensures all moving parts have proper lubrication, and we’ll repair any malfunctioning parts.
3. Reduce the Risk of Breakdowns
A malfunctioning furnace in the middle of winter can be a nightmare. If your furnace breaks down during the winter, you may experience frozen pipes and severe comfort issues. Since you’ll be using the furnace frequently throughout the winter, it’s best to have an HVAC professional service your system to ensure your household remains comfortable.
4. Improve the Quality of Air
If a furnace doesn’t receive proper maintenance, the airflow and the quality of air can diminish. Furnaces will have difficulty filtering and circulating air throughout your home, leading to poor air quality. Without professional HVAC service, the furnace may recirculate dusty air or pull wear-inducing particles through its system. While you can change your own HVAC filter, a technician can also look at the blower motor and other internal components to ensure they don’t see particulate buildup or signs of wear.

5. Maintaining a Valid Warranty
A certified HVAC contractor must inspect your HVAC system to maintain a valid warranty. If your furnace fails due to maintenance neglect, the HVAC warranty is no longer valid, and you must pay out of pocket for repairs.
