With temps starting to fall overnight, experts say the time is now to test your heating system before cold weather settles in for the winter. Before you turn on the heat in your home, Snell Heating and AC recommends you have your furnace professionally inspected by our metro Omaha furnace repair company – once a year. September and October months are the times to schedule a service call.
“You should treat your furnace like your car. You would not wait until your car broke down to maintain it,” said Jerry Snell, owner of Snell Heating and Air, an HVAC company based out of Gretna Neb.
After having a few months off, some furnaces and home heating systems require extra attention to make sure they’re fired up and ready to go for winter. Snell emphasizes that a once-a-year furnace check by a professional is essential to clean the system, monitor gas and heat levels and make sure everything is properly connected. Annual Maintenance of your heating system also ensures you get the best bang for your utility buck.
Outsourcing furnace servicing to an Omaha heating company is not only important for your safety, but also makes sure all of the components work right. Without a regular service inspection, a heating system can break down, pump carbon monoxide into your home or the furnace can stop working completely. A neglected furnace can lead to a variety of problems ranging from costly, dangerous and even deadly.
“Many no heat situations in the winter are due to lack of maintenance,” said Jerry Snell. “So by us taking a good look at your equipment, cleaning it and running diagnostics – we can tell if something is going wrong, and we can fix it before it does.”
What can you do? Our Gretna Neb based heating and cooling company that serves Omaha, Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista and Ashland Nebraska notes there are a lot of do-it-yourself tasks homeowners can do to prep for fall heating.
Change the furnace filters once a month to every 60 days. Inspect your home and seal drafts, so warm air is not wasted.
Snell points out that homeowners should invest in a carbon monoxide detector, to spot any threat when furnaces and heating systems are up and running.
