While you can get a furnace tune-up at almost any time of the year, many HVAC technicians agree that the best time to do it is in the fall. This season is a transition period from the hot days of summer to the cold days of winter, so during this time you’ll need to make sure that your furnace can keep up with the lower temperatures. If it isn’t optimized for the colder weather, you either risk a breakdown or increased energy costs (beyond what’s normal for the season). Below our team at HVAC Construction outlines a few of the benefits of scheduling a furnace tune-up this fall.

Important note: Keep in mind that infrequent maintenance can drastically shorten your HVAC system’s service life. As a general rule, your system should be inspected and maintained at least twice a year.
