Should I Have My Furnace Inspected Every Year?

Ever run a marathon? If so, you know it takes an incredible amount of discipline, preparation, and commitment. Good for you if you can muster all that together, running marathons or otherwise. And yet isn’t all that effort exactly what you expect from your furnace every year? Of course! And you can tell yourself all you want: “Hey, that’s what it’s built for!” But that doesn’t mean it still can’t use a little help.

One way you can keep your furnace in top working condition is with annual preventive maintenance by an experienced and licensed home heating and cooling professional. In and around Burnsville, more and more people are turning to
Bob Boldt HVAC. Just how important is home heating maintenance? According to numerous HVAC professionals, up to 75 percent of no-heat calls in the winter are related to a lack of maintenance. Left un-serviced, a furnace can stop working suddenly, leaving your family in the cold. It also can be a health hazard. During furnace inspections, we sometimes find evidence of a carbon monoxide leak. They’re hard to detect because the gas is colorless and odorless. And yet we know what to look for, and where to look. The longer your furnace is ignored, the more you become prone to:

• Repair issues
• Higher energy bills
• Gas leaks
• Reduced system lifespan
• Dirtier indoor air

So, should you have your furnace inspected once a year? The answer is a resounding “yes”. If yours is past due, contact Bob Boldt HVAC today for prompt and professional service.
