How Often Should You Have Your Furnace Serviced?
While most people ignore their furnaces until there’s a problem, it’s wise to get on a maintenance schedule to ensure your unit is ready to go when you need it most. Most experts recommend performing regular monthly maintenance yourself and then having a professional furnace contractor come in at least once a year for a tune up. This not only ensures your furnace will be ready to go when winter arrives, but also that it’ll last a long time.
