Are Annual Furnace Inspections Necessary?
Furnace manufacturers recommend you have your furnace inspected by an HVAC specialist every year. There are good reasons to do so, including that a lack of maintenance usually means your warranty is void. Here are the top reasons to have your furnace tuned-up each year.
1. Keeps You Safe
Furnaces that use natural gas to heat air need to be checked annually so that you are safe from carbon monoxide poisoning. The combustion process can become misaligned, leading to carbon monoxide being blown into your home. An annual tune-up includes testing the combustion gasses and making sure they are within normal parameters.
2. Ensure Air Is Flowing Correctly
The heating professional servicing your furnace will make sure that air is flowing through your HVAC system correctly. If the airflow is restricted it causes your furnace to work harder, leading to a shortened lifespan. Restricted airflow can also result in some rooms in your home being too warm while others are cold.
3. Reduces the Chance of Expensive Repairs
If your furnace is checked annually, small issues can be caught when they don't cost much to get fixed. By not having your furnace tuned-up each year, you can be setting yourself up for expensive repairs, especially if it's an emergency situation.

4. Improves Energy Efficiency
A furnace that isn't maintained becomes less energy efficient over time. The annual tune-up includes cleaning and inspecting your furnace to make sure it is operating as efficiently as possible. This saves money on your energy bill and is better for the environment.
