How much do you pay to heat your home? Has that number increased over the past couple of years, even though you aren’t using more heat? Before you blame rising gas and oil prices, consider the other option: it’s possible that you just need a furnace inspection or tune-up. Like any piece of equipment, residential heating systems tend to suffer the effects of wear and tear, especially when they aren’t regularly maintained. When was the last time you considered a heating system tune-up? Many homeowners don’t service their systems to the extent that the manufacturers suggest. Contrary to popular belief, not performing the maintenance your furnace needs costs more in the long run since your device starts to lose its efficiency. If you’ve noticed that your heating bill has risen, it might mean you need to schedule heating maintenance or a tune-up to restore your furnace to its original condition.
That’s why Raynor Services offers precision furnace tune-ups for all furnace models. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by scheduling a heating maintenance appointment with one of our experts. We guarantee your furnace will be more reliable this year!

Furnaces Need Some Love More Than Once a Year
If you’re a long time home owner, then you know the furnace tune up rule well. Once a year, you have a technician come out to your home and perform a thorough inspection on your heating system to ensure it will work reliably all winter long.
While manufacturers do suggest you continue to have that annual tune up, there are some tasks you can perform all year long (or all season long) to keep your furnace in tip-top condition.
- Clean it: Dirt is a furnace’s biggest enemy. If it gets into the system, it can cause it to overheat and waste fuel.
- Check the pilot light to make sure that it’s on. If you notice that it’s not, try relighting it.
- Check that the flue has a clear vent path to the outdoors with no gaps or dents
These three things would be checked by a technician during a maintenance visit, but it’s still a good idea to show it a little love more than once a year. It does work hard to keep you warm, after all.
