Is a Heating and Furnace Inspection Necessary?: Maybe It Will Fix Itself
The majority of us are familiar with Murphyโs Law.ย If you are not yet familiar with this dreaded certainty, Murphyโs Law states: โAnything that can go wrong will go wrong.โ Most of us would more accurately align with the longer form of Murphyโs adage that says, โAnything that can go wrong will go wrong and at the worst possible time.โ You are probably wondering โwhat in the world does this have to do with my HVAC system?โ Everything. Thatโs why I pitched Murphyโs Law before starting with heating andย furnace inspection.
In the DFW metroplex, we experience very mild winters with scattered cold snaps that last one or two days.ย This sets up a scenario where you rarely use or even notice your heating systemโs performance until one of these cold fronts arrives. It will take the entire first day of the frigid weather to affect your homeโs temperature to the extent you notice โsomething is upโ at which point youโll put on some extra sweat and โkeep an eye on it.โ
The second day of lower temperatures is usually spent checking in on the thermostat and thinking that it was probably just a fluke and it will likely fix itself. Youโll try to convince yourself by saying, โit canโt be broken, itโs only dropped two degrees here,โ or โit feels like itโs onโฆโ. I know, I know; I am well aware that the LAST thing you have time for is aย broken furnace.
By day three, temps are back on the rise and as a result, so is your homeโs comfort! This allows us to press ahead in our endlessly hectic livesโฆuntil Olโ Murphy comes knockingโฆ
Heating System Inspection โ Keep it ready before the Thanksgiving
Rest assured it will be the night before the in-lawsโ arrival for Thanksgiving or the Saturday of the Christmas party you are hosting when the next polar vortex sets in or North Easter sweeps our fair berg. Fortunately for you,ย Classic Heating and Airย are ALWAYS on-call and willing to help you but far too often parts distributors are closed and our on-call technicians end up overbooked.
Having spent my last 26 years in and around this industry inย DFW, I have seen it play out year after year. Regular work days are moderately busy with tune-ups and preventative maintenance with a few breakdowns sprinkled in here and there and a weekend or holiday commences and the phone lines flood with cries for help. Avoid any trouble with your HVAC and get a heating and furnace inspection.
Itโs always a great idea to get a heating system inspection and other services from a professional. Not to mention all the calls from individuals whose โusualโ HVAC service provider is not equipped nor mindful enough to have a procedure for handling after-hours calls!

Give your family and home the attention they deserve andย CALL CLASSIC at the FIRST sign of heating woes and weโll be there to help!
