gas furnace service and gas water heaters
do you guys service your gas furnaces yearly? i've done nothing to mine in the past 3 years.
what about water heaters. billerica has insane hard water and i've heard a lot of people water tanks rust out on the bottom in a short period of time (maybe 5 years?)

Every spring drain the water tank and try to flush any sediment out. Figure every 2 years have your furnace maintained!

Service your furnace EVERY year.It can be the differance between being just a regular joe or being a tragic house fire story on the news.
3yrs between servicing is 2yrs to long.You're literally playing with fire by not having it serviced every year.

I am a licensed oil burner tech.....every 2 years is sufficient. Its like when they tell you change your vehicles oil every 3000 miles....every 5,000 is good enough!  But hey...everyone has their own opinion so pick your fruit from the ripest part of the tree!  |

There's allot more to know,if your furnace is a condensing unit you gotta check the drain lines,if the internal trap gets clogged with dust and dirt from time related or even environment this can cause a back pressure on the draft inducer and cause a safety switch to open.The fault code is usually "blocked flue" ect.....

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need
