Furnace Maintenance

Caring For Your Furnace

Your furnace is one of your most important household appliances, but also one of the most overlooked. It is often tucked away in a basement corner and forgotten about until it has problems or stops working entirely. When you end up with no heat, on a cold Alberta winter night, is most likely when you become mindful about how well it is functioning, or not for that matter.

One of the keys to successfully maintaining your furnace is to read the owner's manual for any specific instructions from the manufacturer, like how often you should be replacing your filter. If you notice any problems or have any concerns, you should immediately report the problem to a qualified technician.

The annual service maintenance of your furnace should be performed by a qualified and licensed technician that is licensed to perform maintenance. If you feel your furnace is not quite up to par or would just like it inspected for your piece of mind, call us today at 403 945 8324.
