The Importance of a Furnace Safety Check (And How Our Membership Plan Helps!)

Your furnace is the heart of your home’s comfort in colder months, but it can also pose serious risks if not properly maintained.

A regular furnace safety check isn’t just about keeping things running – it’s about protecting your home, your wallet and even your health. With the potential for gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning or even house fires, ignoring maintenance is a gamble no homeowner should take. 

At Just Fix It, we’re here to explain why furnace safety checks are so important and how our membership plan makes it easy to keep your system in top shape. Let’s dive in! 

What Happens When You Skip Furnace Maintenance

Skipping annual furnace safety checks might seem like a way to save money, but it often ends up costing you more than you realize. 

Here are just a few risks that come with neglecting furnace maintenance: 

• Poor ventilation or clogged components can lead to dangerous overheating and potential fires. 
• Over time, gas lines can develop cracks or holes, allowing harmful gasses to escape into your home. 
• A malfunctioning furnace can release carbon monoxide, a silent and deadly danger. 
• Small issues go unnoticed until they become expensive emergencies. 
• A well-maintained furnace can last up to 20 years, but without regular checks, you could be looking at costly repairs or replacements much sooner. 
• Dust, debris and broken components force your furnace to use more energy, driving up utility costs. 

What Happens During a Furnace Safety Check?

Furnace safety checks aren’t just quick once-overs. Technicians inspect every part of your system to make sure it’s working safely and efficiently.

Here’s what’s typically included: 

• Air Filter Check: Techs will make sure your air filter is clean or replace it if necessary. 
• Blower Motor Inspection: A faulty blower motor can raise bills, reduce airflow or even cause smoking/fire risks. 
• Duct Damper Assessment: Duct dampers play a large role in balancing airflow. 
• Gas Line Inspection: Gas lines are checkers for cracks or leaks. 
• Heat Exchanger Check: Cracks in the heat exchanger can lead to carbon monoxide leaks – one of the most important parts to inspect. 

Every inspection is about finding and fixing potential issues before they become costly or dangerous.
