The winter weather brings about cold temperatures. These cold temperatures can make it freezing and uncomfortable inside your home. It can also cause pipes to freeze and burst. This can then lead to expensive repair bills. Your home’s furnace is there to keep you warm and prevent any damage to your water lines. Over time, your furnace begins to experience wear and tear which limits its ability to do its job. That is why all homeowners must perform routine HVAC maintenance.

One specific task that should be done annually is a furnace tune-up. A tune-up of your furnace includes basic cleaning of the components and the replacement of the air filter. This helps keep your furnace performing without any hindrances. It also helps to improve the air quality inside your home. If the heating contractor finds any issues with your furnace during the tune-up process, they can perform repairs too. This will ensure that your furnace is ready to provide your home with heat when you need it.
