How To Properly Maintain Your Furnace

Don’t risk having your furnace go out in the middle of winter. Make sure you are performing these maintenance tasks regularly to keep your system running properly:

Schedule a yearly inspection with a professional in the late spring or early fall.
Change the filter at least every three months.
Install a carbon monoxide monitor. This should be inspected by a professional during your annual tune-up.
Have a heating contractor inspect your furnace ducts to ensure they are sealed properly.
Check the blower for any obstructions. If needed, apply lubrication.
Inspect the inside of the furnace chamber for defects that could include rust, holes, and separated seams.
Clean the burners with fresh water to remove dust and dirt.
Clean the sensor and pilot with a wire brush and emery cloth.
Check the “high limit” to prevent overheating.
Check the gas meter to monitor the rate of fuel usage.
Clean the area around the unit to keep it free from debris.

Common Furnace Problems

Occasionally your furnace might encounter issues that will require professional repairs. Some common problems your system might experience can include:

Lack of maintenance: Failing to schedule regular maintenance visits with our certified professionals can lead to a number of issues with your unit. To avoid this, have our technicians perform a tune-up at least once a year.

Dirty or clogged filters: Dirty filters can cause your system to malfunction and lead to poor indoor air quality. You can reduce the strain on your unit by replacing your filters regularly, about every three months.

Mechanical wear and tear: An aging system can develop more frequent issues and lose efficiency. If this happens you should consult our technicians to determine if it is more cost-effective to have the system replaced.

Malfunctioning thermostat: If the temperature in your house does not match the setting on your thermostat, schedule an appointment with our experts to determine the cause of the issue.

Inadequate airflow: Disrupted air flow can cause your unit to overheat.

Carbon monoxide leak: One of the most serious issues with your unit is a carbon monoxide leak. If you notice the pilot light turn from blue to yellow, or an excessive amount of condensation on your windows, or you start to feel ill in any way, you need to immediately leave your property and call the professionals for help.

What To Expect During AC Maintenance Appointments

Our trusted technicians recommend having your air conditioner serviced by a professional at least once a year. During these routine services you can expect experts to perform the following tasks:

Make sure that your system has the correct amount of refrigerant, and check for any leaks.

Inspect your air ducts for excessive debris and potential leaks.

Make sure that the proper amount of air is flowing through your evaporator coil. They will also examine the coil to determine if there are any other issues.

Verify the correct electric control sequence and ensure that cooling and heating sequences are not operating at the same time.

Inspect electric terminals and apply a non-conductive coating, if needed.

Apply oil to the motors, as needed.

Examine belts, and inspect all other working components.

Check the thermostat to determine if it is controlling your indoor climate properly.
