As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, Probst Refrigeration and Heating knows there’s nothing quite like the cozy comfort of a warm home. But that warmth relies on one crucial system: your furnace. Just like your car needs regular maintenance, your furnace benefits greatly from a regular tune-up to ensure your heating system runs efficiently and reliably all season long!
Is It Time for an Inspection?
Ideally, you should schedule a professional furnace tune-up every fall before you rely on it heavily. However, here are some signs it’s time to call in a technician:
- Strange Noises: You hear new squealing, rumbling or banging sounds.
- Higher Bills: Your energy costs are inexplicably rising.
- Inconsistent Heat: Some rooms are warm, and others are cold.
Extending the Life of Your Furnace
A well-maintained furnace can last 15 to 20 years! In addition to a yearly tune-up, you can also:
- Replace air filters every one to three months to ensure proper airflow.
- Keep the area around the furnace clear of clutter and stored items.
- Ensure all your home’s air vents are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.
Consider a Maintenance Agreement
The best way to ensure proper furnace function is with a maintenance agreement. Probst offers Furnace, AC and Generator agreements that are custom tailored to fit each customer’s specific system and needs.
Typical Agreements Include:
- Peace of mind that your unit will be in good shape for Summer and Winter. Any issues that arise will be addressed before they become an emergency.
- Preventative maintenance to keep your unit running efficiently, cutting down on high energy costs.
- Access to 24/7 Emergency HVAC Services, without the after-hours overtime cost.
Maintenance Agreements with Probst also include perks, like a free filter and a discount on repair parts.
A little preventative maintenance now can save you from a cold, uncomfortable breakdown later. Invest in a tune-up today and enjoy worry-free warmth all winter long.
