Furnace Articles

It’s crucial to take proper care of your furnace—it provides your Antioch home with the heat you need to stay warm.

Your furnace plays the key role in keeping you warm in your Pittsburg home, but even with routine maintenance, it does not last forever. Nobody wants to think about replacing any major household system, but it’s generally more cost effective to be proactive in your thinking about it.

If your heating or air conditioning system suddenly stops working in your Pittsburg home, it’s easy to think the worst. However, sometimes the malfunction is not really caused by your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at all, but actually from a broken thermostat. 

On a frosty winter’s day here in California, your gas furnace is hard at work, keeping your Pittsburg home warm and cozy. Feeling grateful? You’re not alone—it’s one of the most popular forms of heating, as American as apple pie.

Your fuel-burning furnace has a number of mechanisms allowing it to run safely and effectively. These features prevent fires and protect your indoor air quality (IAQ). They also work to prevent internal errors from damaging large portions of your furnace.

A furnace is a major investment for any Pittsburg homeowner. Although it’s not something that will need to be done frequently, most people will face the decision of needing to purchase a new heating system sometime during home ownership.

It’s understandable that maintenance tasks often fall by the wayside. Many Pittsburg homeowners follow the mantra of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
