It’s always a good idea to take care of your furnace system year round

Taking care of things is something that was ingrained in me back when I was growing up as a kid.

My parents always told me and my siblings that we had to be good stewards of our toys and clothes.

That’s something that has always stuck with me over the years and I still try to be a good steward today as an adult. Of course, these days I don’t take care of my toys unless you count my car or my motorcycle as toys! But I do try and take good care of my home, including my HVAC system. I learned this lesson the hard way a few years ago when I neglected our heating system throughout the summer. I never really thought that you needed to take care of your furnace during the summer when the outside temperature is hot. Well, apparently, you do need to pay attention to your furnace even when the weather is heating up. If you don’t, then your heating system can get covered in dust and grime throughout the summertime. Then when the weather outside starts cooling down and you need your furnace, you get a bad surprise when your heating won’t come on! That’s exactly what happened to me. I found out that my heating system wasn’t working right when I needed it most! These days, I’m one of those rare people who get their heating system maintained and upgraded during the summertime when the air conditioning is the part of the HVAC system that’s actually running. Your furnace needs attention year round, that’s for sure.
