Boston's winter temperature swings stress heating systems more than steady cold. You wake up to 15 degrees, reach 35 by afternoon, then drop back to 20 overnight. Your furnace cycles on and off constantly instead of running steadily. Each startup strains electrical components and creates thermal expansion stress on the heat exchanger. The flame sensor cools completely between cycles, making ignition less reliable over time. Condensing furnaces face additional challenges because condensate freezes in drain lines during cold snaps, causing water backup and safety shutdowns. A complete annual furnace inspection list addresses these Boston-specific failure points before they leave you without heat.
