What makes this service so important?<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s a Fuel-Burning Appliance That Gets a Lot of Usage<\/h2>\n<p>When the colder weather finally starts to be a full-time presence, you use your furnace every single day\u2014all day long. While there are other gas appliances in your home (likely the stove and the clothes dryer), they don\u2019t get the same amount of usage as a furnace.<\/p>\n<p>And, unfortunately, an appliance that burns fuel could put you at risk for a carbon monoxide leak. Carbon monoxide results from the fuel combustion process, but it\u2019s supposed to vent safely outdoors. However, if there\u2019s a problem with a safety switch, the heat exchanger, or your vent pipe, this odorless, colorless, toxic gas could seep into your home.<\/p>\n<p>An annual inspection allows a technician to check the most common areas for carbon monoxide to leak from in order to protect your family from this dangerous substance.<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Should Schedule Furnace Maintenance Annually<\/h2>\n<p>In fact, <a href=\"\/heating\/furnaces\">annual furnace inspections<\/a> help to protect your home and your budget in a number of ways.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Safety <\/strong>\u2013 Annual inspections help to protect your home from carbon monoxide, gas leaks, and fire hazards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance <\/strong>\u2013 Furnace inspections help a technician to determine if anything is broken so that you can schedule repairs <em>before <\/em>the heating season starts. That way, you won\u2019t have to deal with the annoyance of a broken-down heater in the middle of winter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Efficiency <\/strong>\u2013 The efficiency of your furnace may improve with a visit from a local heating technician. That\u2019s because a qualified technician who provides a complete tune-up and inspection may make adjustments to the system to help it run more smoothly, saving you money each month on heating costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Furnace Life Expectancy <\/strong>\u2013 Your furnace may actually stick around for longer with annual tune-ups, since it is able to operate with greater efficiency for longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>If you need heating maintenance in the McMurray, PA area, call the team at Boehmer Heating &amp; Cooling.
