How a Fall Furnace Tune-Up Lowers Your Tennessee Heating Bills

A technician wearing protective gloves inspects and repairs the internal components, wiring, and controls of an HVAC furnace.

There is no telling why your heating bill seems to put on weight with each passing winter. Or perhaps the prospect of the first cold snap has you wondering if the furnace is up to the task. You may be thinking that some maintenance at this point would put money back in your pocket down the road.

Then read on. We are here for it. Since 1981 Pioneer Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical has put Tennessee homeowners at ease and kept their expenses in line. A tune-up in the fall is an easy way to accomplish both. To make sure we can get you in before the season gets away from us, pick up the phone and call (615) 933-2288.

Why do it in the fall?

In Tennessee one does not have to look far to see the weather go from a mild afternoon to a cold morning in short order. Fall is the time to get ready for the furnace to put in a hard night’s work. Put a tune-up on the books now and the system will be in good order when a cold front comes to Nashville or Cookeville, Knoxville or Chattanooga. Wait till the middle of winter and you are likely to face longer waits and a furnace already having trouble. Some forethought in October or November is worth it.

The mechanics of lower bills

A furnace in top shape requires less energy to warm the home. That is what it boils down to. If parts are worn, out of adjustment or caked with dirt the system has to burn more fuel to get there.

We will trim those costs by way of a proper fall tune-up:

  • An efficient burn in the heat exchanger and burners
  • The air filter cleaned or put in to ensure good airflow
  • Electrical connections made tight so power is not wasted
  • The thermostat put to the test and calibrated for an accurate reading
  • Moving parts lubricated to take the strain off the motor
  • A run through of the system cycle to put a stop to short-cycling

Individually they are minor things but in aggregate they mean your home is heated for less come winter.

More than just the savings

You could say the reduced bill is the story, but a tune-up is good for the longevity of the furnace as well, staving off the need for a new one. Then there is the matter of safety. Our men will be on the lookout for anything like a cracked heat exchanger that is a carbon monoxide risk. For a family with small children or elders in the house, that kind of assurance is priceless. On top of which a clean system and the right indoor air quality will keep the vents from putting dust and allergens in the air all winter.
