A furnace inspection entails more than just checking your furnace for wear and tear. An experienced technician will ensure your furnace is running at maximum efficiency by adjusting the controls of the furnace for air temperature. Technicians are also trained to check furnace integrity, ensuring that all gas connections are secure and safe for the coming months. The cleaning and maintenance performed during a fall furnace inspection will save you money and protect your family in the winter months.
The quality of a furnace inspection can vary by company. Be sure to ask your technician what their furnace inspection entails. An inadequate furnace inspection can be easily performed by a homeowner, but a quality inspection involves expertise and education. Companies providing high-quality inspections should be able to list the tests and checks they provide during an inspection.
In between your furnace inspections, make sure that you check air filters regularly and change them as soon as dirt appears. A dirty filter can decrease furnace efficiency and shorten furnace life by allowing dust and dirt to get into the furnace.
