In other words, that supposedly green forced air heating system or heat pump you bought to stay warm could start to function like the most inefficient thing on the market.
Filters, burners, and fan motors are all parts that require regular maintenance for your furnace to operate effectively and efficiently. Neglecting your unit leads to poor furnace performance and increased energy consumption. Plus there is the risk of fire or a gas and carbon monoxide leak.
