You’re probably not thinking about scheduling propane heating maintenance right now. That’s a winter time to-do, right?

There are many good reasons for scheduling your propane heating maintenance now instead of waiting until the frigid months when you really depend on your propane furnace or boiler.

Here are 4 reasons to you should plan your propane heating repair or maintenance NOW:

scheduling your propane heating maintenance

1. Save money on your propane bill

You haven’t been using your furnace or boiler for months – it’s built up dust and dirt in the air filters. Residue from last year’s usage might even be blocking its ventilation.

Propane system maintenance will clean out blockages and replace worn down internal components. Afterwards, your propane gas furnace or boiler will run more efficiently.

An efficient propane furnace or boiler won’t waste your dollars spent on propane, so you’ll save money you would have otherwise burned (pun intended).

This is especially true with unpredictable fall and winter temperatures that might force you to crank your system on earlier than expected. Scheduling your propane heating maintenance now means your furnace or boiler will be cleaned up sooner and you’ll be prepared for when you need it most.

2. Extend the lifetime value of your propane furnace or boiler

Your furnace or boiler check-up looks to reduce waste and maintain safety for your home by:

  • Changing air filters
  • Cleaning unblocked vents
  • Checking for gas line leaks

These practices not only turn your propane furnace or boiler into an efficient money saver, but they prolong the health of your propane appliance.

Running a dirty or faulty furnace or boiler will just wear the appliance down. If you wait until winter for heating maintenance but need to use your system beforehand, you risk shortening the appliance’s lifespan.

Propane heating maintenance will extend how long your furnace or boiler will last over the long-haul. You’ll put off the years until you need to replace your system by staying on top of check-ups. Save yourself the few thousand dollars it costs to replace by scheduling your propane furnace or boiler maintenance in the fall!

3. Ensure your propane furnace or boiler is safe to use before you need it

Inspecting your furnace or boiler for cracks and blockages isn’t just about ensuring efficient energy use. The wear and tear of usage can become hazardous if ignored, especially if you have an older system.

Propane burns safely. But if you’re using an appliance with blocked vents, cracks, or gas line leaks; it can become a fire hazard or emit toxic fumes you and your family do not want to breathe.

4. Increase your home’s appeal with a smooth running propane furnace or boiler

An older furnace or boiler can be a deal-breaker if you’re planning to sell your house. As the seller, you could lose money on your offer if your heating system is in bad working shape.

A well-maintained furnace or boiler with a track record of tune-ups can give prospective buyers reassurance and peace of mind that your system isn’t a good reason to look at other homes. It can be a contributing factor to the amount of the offer for your home.

If you’re thinking about selling your home, make sure you can vouch for the state of your furnace or boiler. We recommend sticking with a professional when servicing appliances, so call your propane provider instead of your neighborhood handyman.

Fall propane furnace or boiler maintenance cuts costs for your winter home heating!

A propane furnace or boiler that runs efficiently will use less propane. So planning ahead and scheduling propane system maintenance with your propane provider in the fall gives you a jumpstart on saving money.

But beyond keeping your piggy bank full, scheduling your propane heating maintenance now keeps your family safe and gives you some peace of mind.
