You might be firing up your furnace for the first time this season. Some homeowners turn their furnace on for the season and forget that furnaces, like any other piece of HVAC equipment, need routine maintenance. Below are some of the things that can happen when you neglect your furnace.

High Utility Bills
When your furnace is not well maintained, problems are bound to arise. For example, a dirty air filter might be restricting air flow. In return, your furnace works harder to pump out warm air. This extra strain on your furnace can result in unseasonably high utility bills.

Shorter Lifespan
At Blue Mountain, we understand why homeowners rely on their heating systems to keep warm in the fall and winter. However, utilizing your furnace consistently without professional maintenance can lead to a shorter lifespan.

The Risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that is extremely harmful to your health. Furnaces naturally generate this gas. If there is a hole or tear in the heat exchange, you are at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning. Having a professional maintain your furnace can prevent this from happening. 

Don’t neglect your furnace. The best way to keep your furnace in tip top shape is to schedule service with the techs at Blue Mountain. We’re not your average heating and cooling company.  And, the guys coming into your home are not your average HVAC technicians. If you want to feel warm and cozy at home, call (540) 942-2700.
