Getting your furnace serviced in September is a smart move for several reasons—think about the current weather, perfect timing, the upcoming season, and your safety! Here at Five Star Heating & Cooling Group, we want to ensure you’re fully prepared for fall and even more ready for winter. Skipping a safety check and tune-up could mean missing potential issues with your furnace when you need it the most. So, let’s chat about the four great reasons why scheduling your furnace tune-up this September is a fantastic idea!   

The Weather Is Perfect for a Fall Tune-up   

You might be wondering, “Why now?” Well, it actually makes a lot of sense to schedule your furnace tune-up this month! According to industry standards, it’s best to have your furnace checked and tuned up before you fire it up for the season. For most folks, that means getting this service done at the end of summer or the start of fall. Just a friendly reminder: in 2024, fall officially kicks off on September 22nd!  

Just a friendly reminder that when your furnace gets serviced, it will need to be turned off so our technicians can safely and thoroughly inspect it. With that in mind, scheduling your HVAC service for this month is perfect timing, especially with the weather!  

It’s the Perfect Time of the Year to Schedule a Tune-up   

Throughout the rest of the year, HVAC repairs, replacements, and upgrades are super popular! But in the fall, with the need for air conditioners dropping significantly, September isn’t quite as hectic. So, what does that mean for you? It means you’ll probably be first in line to book your appointment! Don’t wait for the last-minute rush—schedule your tune-up and safety check now to keep your system running smoothly! 

Winter is Coming, So It’s Best to Book Your Tune-up Now   

Winter, spring, summer, fall… we all know the order of the seasons! So, why not take a moment to get ready for the chilly months ahead? It’s always a great idea to book your yearly furnace tune-up and safety check in early fall if you can. This way, you’ll be all set for Ohio’s frigid winter weather!  

Just think about it: the last thing you want in the middle of winter is a furnace that decides to act up, especially when a simple fall tune-up could have prevented it. Stay cozy and prepared!  

Scheduling Your Fall Tune-up Is for Safety Reasons   

Did you know that carbon monoxide poisoning is pretty common in the winter? This often happens due to the increased use of furnaces, chimneys, and gas lines. According to the National Safety Council, it’s a great idea to have your furnace, water heater, or any coal-burning appliance checked by a licensed technician at least once a year. Taking this step can really protect you, your family, and your home! By keeping up with your yearly furnace checkups, you’re not only helping your furnace perform well during the cold months but also giving your technician a chance to spot and fix any potential issues ahead of time. 

In short, we truly believe that scheduling your fall tune-up for your HVAC system in September is the best choice for you. But hey, we get it—life happens, and sometimes things get pushed back. If September passes you by, don’t worry! You can still book your furnace tune-up in October or early November. We’ve got you covered! 

As a little “bonus” reason, remember that staying on top of your yearly furnace maintenance checks also helps keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid! If that’s not a simple way to get your tune-up scheduled, we don’t know what is!
