Furnace Tune Up & Maintenance

Annual maintenance allows your system to work at peak efficiency year in and year out. A system that is maintained annually experiences considerably fewer breakdowns.but many costly heating problems can be avoided with affordable preventative maintenance.

Regular furnace maintenance helps to keep the system running properly and reliably, but it also helps extend the life of the equipment.

Furnace Air Filter

A clogged filter forces the heating and air conditioning system to work harder than strictly necessary. That means, in the near term, higher monthly energy costs. Over the long term, stressed HVAC equipment doesn’t last as long, reaching the end of its useful lifespan well before it would have under optimal conditions. In addition, a clogged filter potentially leads not only to a dustier home, but to higher concentrations of airborne particulates. Costly in terms of both money and health, these surprisingly common issues can be easily solved, if not totally prevented, through maintenance.

Furnace Checklist

Our technicians use our Furnace Checklist to complete inspections. This checklist helps us provide you with the most detailed and accurate estimate. Once inspection is complete our team will discuss their findings and work to provide you with the most reliable and affordable solution.

    • Adjust and clean the pilot light and assembly if necessary.

    • Looking for lint or other debris that may be lodged in the combustion blower.

    • Removing, cleaning and adjusting the burner assembly and burners.

    • Cleaning and adjusting the fan switch to ensure that it cycles properly while conserving energy.

    • Replacing the air filter.

    • Inspection of the gas lines to check for possible leaks or manifold pressure and correcting them.

    • Inspection and cleaning of the ignition system as well as safety control to be sure they are functioning properly.

    • Inspection of the control box and controls to ensure the wiring and connections are done correctly.

    • Securing any loose panels

    • Inspection of the heat exchanger and the heating elements of the furnace for any deterioration and cracks naturally occurring with age

    • Inspection of the combustion air openings to make sure they are not blocked or restricted.

    • Inspection and calibration of the thermostat ensuring that the settings and temperature are set as desired.

    • Lubrication of bearings and motors to reduce friction and keep the furnace operating at optimal levels.

    • Listening for any abnormal or strange noises that are indicative of a problem within the furnace.

    • Inspection of the flue pipe for any leaks or signs of corrosion, proper attachment and dislocated sections.

    • Recording data about the performance and temperature of the furnace.

    • Inspecting and adjusting pulleys and belts to ensure there is optimal airflow and ultimately high efficiency.

Single and Double Stage Furnaces

A home furnace can be a major investment, but today's gas furnaces feature technology that boosts efficiency to save money and improve comfort. Applications are more convenient than ever and with the proper planning, can help improve your living space.

Plus, access is made easier for changing filters and service.

The 80% Furnace provides an economic way to add high performance air filtration to homes. The control system provides dehumidification mode, a third motor speed selection for a continuous fan operation option at the thermostat.

A 93% Furnace offers the benefits of a Technology furnace. This features reduced drafts, reduced sound levels, longer cycles, less temperature swings between cycles, and less temperature difference between rooms. Its exclusive, intelligent microprocessor control adapts to the heating needs of the home by automatically adjusting high and low heat times to maximize comfort.
