It's important to be aware of the signs that your furnace needs a tune-up. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to call in an expert. Dust accumulation is one of the most common signs that your furnace needs a tune-up.

Additionally, if you notice that the air coming from your vents isn't as hot as it used to be, or if there is an unfamiliar smell coming from the vents when you turn on the unit, it's likely time for a tune-up. Finally, if your furnace looks old and worn out, it may need a tune-up or even a full replacement. The average lifespan of a furnace is 15 to 20 years. If yours is older than that, it may be time to consider an upgrade. They can also help you decide whether a tune-up or full replacement is necessary.
