Furnace Maintenance - Necessary or not?

Are regular inspections of your home furnace equipment necessary if there doesn't appear to be any problems?

The furnace maintenance technician who services your furnace is a licensed gas fitter. He's trained to look for more than just dust and dirt. Included in an inspection is a visual to ensure the heat exchanger is not cracked, that there is clean complete combustion, and just as importantly, exhaust. And, there's more - but without getting too technical, paying a small service fee once a year may help avoid more expensive repairs later.

Here's a link to information on what your technician will be looking for on a furnace inspection.

Your furnace in Walnut Grove was probably installed by GT Home Comfort. Their phone number is 613 634-8499. They do annual maintenance calls, and they can be reached for emergency service if your furnace fails to provide heat.

Irrespective of who you call, having an ongoing relationship with  a heating contractor who recognizes you as a customer, and has knowledge of your equipment (and access to parts), provides peace of mind. If you travel - those who mind your home will know who to call if and when.
