Why Regular Furnace Maintenance Is Essential for Your Comfort and Safety

When winter temperatures drop in British Columbia, your furnace works hard to keep your home warm. But if it’s not maintained properly, you could be facing unexpected breakdowns, high energy bills, or even safety hazards like carbon monoxide leaks. Regular furnace maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently, safely, and lasts longer—saving you money and stress in the long run.

Commonly Asked Questions About Furnace Maintenance

1. How often should I service my furnace?
You should schedule annual professional maintenance before winter starts to catch minor issues before they become costly problems.
