There are a lot of reasons for making sure your heater is kept in good condition at all times. Proper routine servicing can help you by preventing problems from arising and by catching ones that are beginning to happen currently. Also, it's important for you to know exactly why heating upkeep and fast repairs are such a big deal. Here are a couple of things that can happen if you don't stay on top of the heating as you should:

You can end up paying out a lot of money unnecessarily

There are quite a few different ways that a heating system that isn't functioning properly can cost you to put out more money. For one thing, a small repair that's done promptly may cost a relatively small amount to have tended to. However, a small repair that's put off too long can put more wear on other parts of the system that can lead to more issues to have repaired. That more extensive repair will also be a more costly one. Plus, a heating system with problems will be one that isn't as efficient, which raises your heating bills. Those higher bills will continue on for as long as you have the heater running until the issues have been taken care of. Also, ignoring issues can lead to you needing to fully replace your heater and that can be expensive. 

You can end up very cold, very quickly

One of the additional risks that you take when you don't have the heating properly serviced or when you don't act right away to have repairs fixed, is having the heating go out on you completely. When you are running a malfunctioning heater, you can end up having it go out on you, possibly right when you need it the most. If this happens on the weekend or in the middle of the night, then you can find yourself in a very cold situation that you may not be able to change for a while. However, there are emergency heating repair technicians who can come out to you after hours for an additional fee, should you find you simply can't wait more than absolutely necessary to get your home warm again. 

When you consider that having your heating serviced annually and paying attention to it when it is telling you something is wrong can prevent you from dealing with the issues explained above, it would be hard to understand why you wouldn't do those things.
