Room temperature is the first of these. Next comes humidity. The third and final factor is cleanliness.

By the time winter arrives, your furnace has been idle for a substantial portion of the year. Given that you will need this equipment to run consistently for the next few months, it should be given a tune-up. Professional maintenance ensures that it’s performing at optimum levels all winter long.

During a home furnace maintenance appointment, all of the internal components of your home HVAC system will be cleaned by the technician. The thermostat will be recalibrated. Air filters are replaced. The entire unit is inspected to ensure that everything is working as it should.

Once the furnace maintenance is complete, you can expect your home heating system to work reliably and efficiently for the whole winter season. More importantly, the indoor air quality of your home will improve dramatically as the result of cleaner air ducts, a new filter, and more efficient operation overall. Understanding this, you must have your furnace tune-up performed by a licensed HVAC contractor with significant industry experience.
