Kickstart your fall furnace maintenance check by prioritizing your furnace service this September! With the changing weather, it’s the perfect time to prepare for the upcoming winter season and, most importantly, ensure your safety. Our passionate team at Pickerington Heating & Cooling is here to help you get ready to tackle the chill ahead. Let’s make sure you’re cozy and comfortable all season long!Â
Neglecting a safety and tune-up check for your furnace can lead to some serious problems when you need it most. So, let’s chat about four great reasons why getting a furnace tune-up this September is such a smart move!
September Is a Great Time to Schedule Your Fall Tune-up:
Fun fact: in 2024, fall officially starts on September 22nd!Â
Due to the Weather
You might be wondering, “Why September?” Well, let me break it down for you! It’s actually a smart time to schedule your furnace tune-up. We usually recommend getting your furnace checked and tuned up before you start using it for the season, which, for most of us, means right around the end of summer or the beginning of fall.  Â
Also, keep in mind that when you have your furnace serviced, it’ll need to be turned off for a bit so our technicians can do a thorough inspection safely. So, booking this HVAC service this month is a great idea, especially with the weather being just right!
Due to the Timing
All year round, the HVAC industry sees a lot of demand for repairs, replacements, and upgrades. But with fall rolling in and the need for air conditioning dropping, September tends to be a bit calmer. This is great news for you! It means you can snag an appointment quicker and at a time that works best for you.
Due to Winter Coming
Seasons come around like clockwork, yet sometimes, they still have the tendency to sneak up on us. So, why not get a jump start on making sure your furnace is set to withstand the winter while you can? We always suggest booking your annual furnace tune-up and safety check early in the fall—it really helps your heating unit get ready for Ohio’s tough winter weather just around the corner! After all, the last thing you want is for your furnace to break down in the middle of winter when it could’ve been avoided with a little prep work this fall. Â
Due to the Safety Aspect
Did you know that winter often brings an uptick in carbon monoxide poisoning cases? This is because we tend to use furnaces, chimneys, and gas lines more during the colder months. That’s why the National Safety Council really stresses the importance of having your furnace, water heater, and other coal-burning appliances checked out by a licensed technician every year. Skipping this step could put you and your loved ones at risk! Regular annual checkups not only keep your furnace running smoothly for the chilly season but also help your technician spot and fix any potential problems before they become serious. Â
To wrap things up, we really recommend scheduling your HVAC system’s fall tune-up in September if you can. But hey, we get it—life can be busy, and things might slip through the cracks! If September passes you by, no worries! You can still book your furnace tune-up in October or even early November.Â
And don’t forget that having regular yearly furnace maintenance checks also keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid! If that’s not a great bonus reason to schedule your tune-up, then we’re not sure what is!
