Schedule furnace tune-up
Short answer
Book a licensed HVAC technician before fall heating season to inspect combustion, clean burners, and verify safety controls.
Why It Matters
Untuned furnaces run inefficiently and are more likely to fail mid-winter. Annual service also catches cracked heat exchangers that can leak carbon monoxide.
How to Do It
- Schedule an appointment with a licensed HVAC technician in late summer or early fall, before you need the furnace.
- Ask the technician to check combustion efficiency and clean the burners.
- Confirm they will inspect safety controls, including the heat exchanger for cracks.
- After the visit, ask the technician to summarize any findings and whether the furnace is safe to run for the season.
