A Healthy Furnace Vs. a Neglected Furnace

Monday, February 27th, 2023

When you take a long, hard look at your furnace, what do you see? Don’t be shy, head down to your basement or crawlspace right now with a flashlight and take a look. This might be a good time to do it as well, since the winter is winding down and we’re likely to start seeing warmer temperatures in March and April.

Furnaces can be rough around the edges. They don’t have to look pristine. They run all day and night in the area of your home where people aren’t spending time. We’re not asking you to see whether the system is shiny and sparkling with metal polish or not, we’re asking you to give a look at whether you see dust, rust, moisture, or other things that signal problems. These clues are going to be the major differences between a furnace that’s in good shape and one that requires heating repair in Colorado Springs, CO.
