At Kennihan Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we believe in keeping our customers safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient all year long. While most homeowners think of furnace maintenance as a fall to-do item, we’re here to let you in on a little secret—a late-season furnace check-up in early spring is still a smart, proactive move.
Whether life got hectic during the fall or you simply forgot to schedule your annual heating maintenance, it’s not too late to give your furnace the attention it deserves. In fact, a springtime tune-up might be one of the best things you can do for your home right now.
Let’s break down why a late-season check-up is not just “better late than never”—it’s actually a great idea.
1. Catch Small Problems Before They Become Big Repairs
Your furnace has worked hard to keep your home warm through another Pennsylvania winter. Even if it seems like everything went smoothly, hidden issues could be brewing beneath the surface—like worn-out components, dirty filters, or minor electrical problems.
If left unchecked, these small issues can turn into major breakdowns or costly repairs down the line. Scheduling a check-up now allows our trained technicians to spot and fix problems early—before they lead to a no-heat emergency next winter.
At Kennihan, we treat your comfort like it’s our own. We take a proactive approach to ensure your furnace is ready for next season and running at its best.
2. Boost Efficiency and Lower Your Energy Bills
Did your energy bills seem higher than usual this winter? A neglected furnace might be the culprit.
Over time, dirt buildup, clogged air filters, and wear-and-tear can cause your system to work harder than necessary. That means more energy usage and higher utility bills—and you might not even realize it’s happening.
A thorough furnace check-up includes:
- Cleaning vital components
- Inspecting the heat exchanger
- Testing airflow and thermostat operation
- Replacing filters and calibrating controls
These steps help your furnace operate at peak efficiency, which translates to real savings on your monthly heating costs—now and next season.
3. Ensure Your Family’s Safety
Furnace safety is a serious matter. Gas and combustion systems must be properly maintained to prevent hazards such as carbon monoxide leaks, gas odors, and fires.
If your system has a cracked heat exchanger or faulty ignition components, you may not notice the danger right away—but the consequences can be severe.
That’s why every furnace tune-up by Kennihan includes a comprehensive safety inspection. We’ll make sure your system is operating safely and reliably, so you can rest easy knowing your home is protected.
4. Beat the Fall Rush
One more benefit of scheduling your check-up now? You won’t be competing for service appointments during the busy fall season.
Once temperatures start to drop again, everyone scrambles to schedule their annual maintenance—and availability gets tight fast. By taking care of your system in the spring, you avoid the rush and have peace of mind heading into next winter.
And if we do find any issues that need attention, you’ll have time to make repairs without the pressure of cold weather on the way.
