What Is Preventive Maintenance?
Preventive furnace maintenance is an HVAC service that helps keep your system healthy for winter heating. During maintenance, our dedicated technicians perform a variety of tasks to ensure your system is in top shape. Now we’ll explain more about the specifics of our comprehensive service.
Making a Visual Inspection
We carefully look over your heating system during maintenance. Our technicians look for signs of damage and malfunction that could prevent proper operation and leave you in the cold this winter. We also look for parts and components that are excessively worn because this could have an impact on the efficiency of your system.
Cleaning the System
As we work on your furnace, we wipe away dust and other debris that has accumulated throughout the year. This includes both inside and outside the appliance. Keeping the system clean prevents stress on the furnace, leading to greater efficiency and reliability.
Lubricating the Moving Parts
Some parts, such as gears inside your furnace, move during operation to create and blow heat. These parts rub against other components and can wear out due to the friction from movement. We carefully inspect these parts and lubricate them to lessen the impact of friction.
Testing the Safety Mechanisms
Many heating systems have safety controls or switches that prevent the system from operating during malfunction or dangerous conditions. Our technicians test all safety mechanisms to ensure they work as they should to keep your system safe.
Testing the Gas Components
We check that the pilot light in a gas furnace is lit and burning bright blue. A light that is yellow or any other color indicates the absence of gas. If the furnace is not burning gas, it could mean that you have run out of fuel, or worse, that you have a gas leak. We also test the gas pressure and leaks and make sure the gas valve is open. Gas leaks are extremely dangerous and could lead to severe health consequences and explosions.
Clearing the Condensate Drain Line
The condensate drain line carries water from the system to a safe place to prevent damage to the electrical components of your furnace. We inspect the condensate drain line to ensure that it is not damaged and is clear for water to travel through.
Assessing for Proper Airflow
Once we’ve finished working our way through your system, we fire the furnace up and make sure it works as it should. We check the vents around the house to see that you are getting even and sufficient heating.
Calibrating the Thermostat
While your furnace is running, we watch the thermostat to ensure that the furnace responds to the settings on the device. We also check the temperature in your room to ensure that it matches that shown on the thermostat. If it doesn’t, we’ll calibrate the device, so you have precise control of your home’s heating system. We may also check the placement of your thermostat to ensure it is mounted in an open area away from heat-producing appliances that can cause an erroneous temperature reading. Of course, our experts can find a new place for the device if needed.
