This, of course, requires energy, whether from natural gas or your electrical system.
However, if your furnace system is not up-to-date on maintenance, you may be dealing with undiagnosed problems and concerns that can significantly diminish your furnace system’s ability to heat your home accordingly. Thus, requiring even more energy than necessary to maintain a comfortable heat. Therefore, by committing to a yearly furnace maintenance appointment, you can have professional technicians come to your home to ensure everything is running optimally before the colder weather sets in. That way, you can effectively heat your home without increasing your monthly energy bill. Additionally, by maintaining your furnace throughout the year, you can identify potential problems before they become more significant issues. This includes problems with your:

Your furnace may use two types of filters: a temporary filter and a permanent filter. Regardless of the type of filer you have, it is recommended that homeowners clean or replace this filter every 3 months. Your furnace filters collect dust, hair, and other airborne debris. Over time, as this debris collects, it can restrict the airflow and potentially lead to other furnace-related problems that significantly decrease its performance. Additionally, when dust, hair, and other airborne debris get caught in your furnace filter, it can also make you and your family more prone to allergies and asthma symptoms.

Furnace maintenance is an important part of preparing for fall & winter.
Getting ready for the chillier months (not to mention the downright frozen ones) means making sure your home’s heating system is ready to run at top quality to keep you comfortable from autumn until April.
A tune-up is essential because it allows our HVAC technicians to check for any issues with core components of your furnace – heat exchanger, igniter & pilot lights, burners, gas valve, thermocouple, flame sensor, draft inducer motor, pressure switch, blower motor & return air filter.
Any issues that may hinder your furnace’s performance can then be addressed, ensuring there are no interruptions to your home comfort throughout the colder months.
The proactive nature of furnace maintenance also means you can avoid nasty, expensive, middle-of-the-night repairs during a classic Canadian cold snap, giving you peace of mind all winter long.
Furnace maintenance can help you identify any potential problems with your home’s heating system before they cause a breakdown, which means you’ll avoid the cost of any future repairs that may have resulted from letting the problem persist.

Dorothy Crosson - Google Review"My experience with Wardlaw Heating and Cooling was beyond 5 stars (again). Their Comfort Advisor (Steve F.) was helpful and knowledgeable. Using his expertise the best product was purchased to fit my need. Steve continues to support my questions and that is what you call “service after the sale”. Their Installers (Norm N. and Kevin W.) did an awesome job installing the product and were very informative.
Thank you again Wardlaw!!"
