While they&#8217;re safe if regularly maintained, electric furnaces are ultimately safer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Energy efficiency:<\/strong> Electric furnaces are the most environmentally friendly option because they use an electric heating element instead of the fuel combustion required by gas furnaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Call Len The Plumber Heating &amp; Air at <a href='tel:8009504619' class='call-number d-inline'>(800) 950-4619<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/northern-va-area\/schedule-appointment\/\">request furnace installation and replacement<\/a> in Arlington, Alexandria, Dale City, or the surrounding areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Furnace Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p>Maintaining your furnace is critical to maintaining a safe, efficient, and comfortable home.<\/p>\n<p>With Len The Plumber Heating &amp; Air, we keep your gas or electric furnace operating up to manufacturer standards or better, ensuring reliable warmth on the coldest of winter days and nights.<\/p>\n<p>During your <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/northern-va-area\/heating\/maintenance\/\">heating maintenance<\/a> appointment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We&#8217;ll inspect your air filters.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll clean burners and flame sensors.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll inspect motors and electrical connections.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll check gas line connections.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll check indoor humidity levels.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll check thermostat operation and calibrate it if needed.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll complete a carbon monoxide safety check if you have a gas furnace.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll perform a combustion analysis if you have a gas furnace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cta-two-container py-4 my-4 my-md-5 text-white border-bottom\"> <div class=\"row no-gutters d-md-flex align-items-md-center justify-content-center\"> <div class=\"col-md-5 \"><a class=\"bg-light text-dark text-decoration-none w-100 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center text-white px-3\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\"  onclick=\"ScheduleEngine.show()\"> <i class=\"fa fa-calendar mr-2 mr-md-3\"><\/i> Schedule Service Today<\/a> <\/div><div class=\"col-md-2 mt-3 mt-md-0 or-content px-md-0 text-center d-md-flex align-items-md-center justify-content-center\"><span class=\"d-inline-block d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center mx-auto text-uppercase position-relative\">OR<\/span><\/div><div class=\"col-md-5 mt-3 mt-md-0\"> <a class=\"bg-light text-dark text-decoration-none w-100 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center text-white px-3\" href=\"tel:(800) 950-4619\"><i class=\"fa fa-phone mr-2 mr-md-3\"><\/i> Call Us Today <\/a> <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Sign Up for the Whole Home Service Plan<\/h3>\n<p>Simplify preventative tune-ups with our <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/northern-va-area\/service-plan\/\">Whole Home Service Plan<\/a>.
