Heating and air conditioning systems today all require preventive maintenance to keep the systems running at their peak

performance levels. If periodic checks are not made on your system, it's quite likely those systems will break at the most

inopportune time. A furnace breakdown in winter means no heat at the coldest time of the year and a furnace repair bill could

certainly break your budget.



The first warning sign is higher bills from your utility company from year to year. Of course, the bills go up when the first

freeze hits. But is the bill still the same level as it was last year or the year before, after accounting for differences in fuel

cost?



The next warning sign is noise. A furnace that is running normally should not make pops, rattles, squeals or banging

noises. The blower should make some noise, but not excessively so.



The quality and warmth of the air being blown through the ducts into the home is the next warning sign. Are some rooms

warm and others not? Is dust coming out of the vents? Is the air coming through the vents warm?



The next set of warning signs requires a look at the furnace itself. Does the blower come on when the thermostat clicks on? The ducts leading to and from the furnace should also be inspected. If there are any holes or open seams, the ducts need to be resealed or replaced.

Look at the flame within the furnace. If it's yellow, call your heating and air conditioning specialist immediately. A yellow flame is a sign

of carbon monoxide production that could be fatal.



There are many other symptoms that can only be diagnosed by a heating and air conditioning specialist. The cost of furnace

maintenance is much more preferable than the cost of furnace repair. The approach of winter is the best time to call up your local San

Antonio specialist to come to your home and check out your heating and air conditioning systems. When a home furnace is tuned to run

properly and efficiently, it keeps you comfortable while lowering utility bills and helping you avoid costly repair bills.
