The best thing you can do to get your heating system ready for winter is to schedule professional maintenance this fall. Having a yearly inspection and tune-up can improve energy efficiency and comfort while also helping to prevent a mid-season breakdown. Too often, homeowners don’t think about their heating system until the first cold-snap and then are shocked to discover they need furnace maintenance or repairs to keep the house warm.
What to Expect During Professional Furnace Maintenance Visit
When a licensed HVAC contractor comes to your home for an annual maintenance appointment, you can expect them to visually inspect the unit and perform a number of tests and tasks. To ensure the system is safe, reliable and efficient, a technician will:
- Perform a safety test for carbon monoxide (CO) leaks
- Change or clean air filter
- Check thermostat and safety controls
- Inspect gas pilot safety system
- Clean motor and fan
- Check blower operation,
- Check and adjust the tension and alignment of fan belt
- Clean burners and set for proper combustion and ignition
- Check gas piping
During a furnace maintenance appointment, you also have the opportunity to ask the technician any questions you have about your system or ways to improve indoor air quality during the winter months.
By scheduling your appointment now, you can avoid the rush that accompanies the first week of freezing temperatures and be assured that when the mercury drops, your furnace will be ready!
