As much as everyone loves summer, every year it comes to an end. Colder temperatures, shorter days, and falling leaves are right around the corner. Is your furnace ready for the fall and winter?

Here are 6 reasons to get early maintenance on your furnace before the temperature starts to drop.

You will identify problems before they become major issues

By scheduling an early furnace tune-up, you will be able to catch small problems before they turn into larger ones. Your HVAC technician can also identify problems with your furnace before they occur. This gives you time to plan a repair before colder weather hits, and prevent the stress that comes with a sudden, catastrophic failure.

You will pay less for repairs if they are detected early

Smaller repairs cost less than fixing major issues. Replacing a small component before it affects your entire furnace will make your early planning worthwhile, both for peace of mind and for your bank account.

You will have more time to carry out repairs

If your furnace needs a replacement part, you may have to wait a few days or weeks for it to arrive. Knowing early on what you need will give your HVAC technician enough time to order it and get the repair done while the weather is still warm.

Your technician will have increased availability for furnace tune-ups

Most HVAC companies have to book maintenance and repairs in advance. Fall is the time most homeowners will be booking their furnace tune-ups. Get yours done early before the rush, and make sure your furnace will be ready to go before the temperature drops.

You reduce your risk of being without heat during cold weather

If you wait too long, you run the risk of having to shut down your furnace for an emergency repair when you really need the heat. Early maintenance ensures that you can solve any issues while the days are still warm enough to tolerate your furnace being off for repairs.

You will keep your efficiency high from the beginning of the heating season

Tune-ups are critical for keeping the efficiency of your furnace at its highest. That means less fuel consumption and lower utility bills for you! There is no need to run a poorly performing furnace if you can avoid it.
