Short answer: Yes!
Longer, but more informative answer:
No one wants to deal with unexpected heating repairs ever, let alone midway through a Jersey winter when the outdoor temperatures are hovering at or below freezing. However, most of these breakdowns can be easily avoided by getting your furnace checked out & tuned up before the winter is here.
It’s basically a question of risk and reward. If you look at the risks of not having your furnace inspected and tuned by a professional, versus the rewards of acting now … you’ll want to act now. What are some of those risks?
Paying emergency repair rates in mid-winter for a sudden furnace breakdown
Exposing you and your family to carbon monoxide in the home from a leaky furnace
Having to replace your furnace earlier than normal due to insufficient maintenance
Paying more on your monthly utility bill because your furnace is running inefficiently
In light of the risk factors, the benefits of a professional furnace tune-up are obvious: extended furnace life, controlled costs and increased safety.
Ok, but how do I know I’m getting the right level of service?
Before scheduling an appointment for a furnace tune-up, ask for details on what the company includes in the service. Tune-up packages vary widely here in the Princeton, NJ area. For example, here’s just some of what we at Princeton Air include in our pre-season tune-ups:
