With a technician performing a service check every so often, he or she can catch small problems before they turn into larger ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spend less<\/strong>: A well-taken care of machine will run optimally and efficiently, consuming less energy. Less energy means less money being sent to the utility company and more money for you to do fun things.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improve comfort<\/strong>: We all love walking into a nice, warm, toasty home after a day out and about or at work. It is not fun to come home to find your furnace broken or for it to quit in the middle of a get together. Preventative maintenance can help keep your system providing the comfort you expect with no unexpected break-downs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furnace_Maintenance_Question_2_What_should_you_expect_during_a_preventative_furnace_maintenance_service_call\"><\/span>Furnace Maintenance Question 2: What should you expect during a preventative furnace maintenance service call?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With a furnace maintenance check up from Galmiche &amp; Sons, we will perform a thorough check and tune-up of your furnace&rsquo;s major components. We will check for small issues that could turn into larger problems and advise you on the best path to getting them taken care of. Things we will look at include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inspect duct system, heat exchanger, air intake, flue, wiring, filter<\/li>\n<li>Test seals, ignition, flame sensor, electrical components, thermostat, blower<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furnace_Maintenance_Question_3_How_often_and_when_should_I_schedule_a_furnace_maintenance_visit\"><\/span>Furnace Maintenance Question 3: How often and when should I schedule a furnace maintenance visit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ideally, you do this every year and before you fire up your furnace for the first time. In St. Louis, the weather will start getting chilly in September, so September would be best. If we can look at your system before you fire it up, you will not get any surprises once you do.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furnace_Maintenance_Question_4_Is_there_any_furnace_maintenance_I_can_do_on_my_own\"><\/span>Furnace Maintenance Question 4: Is there any furnace maintenance I can do on my own?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes!
