What's Included in a Furnace Tune-Up?
Professional furnace maintenance is a comprehensive service designed to inspect, clean, and tune every critical component of your heating system. The goal is to enhance performance, improve safety, and identify potential issues before they become expensive breakdowns. A thorough tune-up is the best way to ensure your furnace operates at its peak all winter.
Our maintenance service typically includes:
- Safety Inspection: We meticulously check the heat exchanger for cracks or damage, test for carbon monoxide leaks, and verify all safety controls are functioning correctly.
- Cleaning Key Components: We clean the burners, flame sensor, and blower components to ensure efficient combustion and proper airflow, which can significantly lower your energy bills.
- Electrical System Check: Our technicians inspect and tighten all electrical connections, measure motor voltage, and check amperage to prevent electrical failures.
- Lubrication and Calibration: We lubricate all moving parts to reduce friction and wear, and we check and calibrate the thermostat to ensure accurate temperature control.
- Filter Change and System Test: We will replace your furnace filter and run a full system test to confirm everything is operating according to the manufacturer's specifications.
This detailed process ensures your furnace is not just working, but working safely, reliably, and as efficiently as possible.
