Fort Washington Furnace Maintenance
Every furnace needs regular tune-up service from a licensed HVAC company. These visits give our technicians the chance to catch and correct safety issues, remove heavy build-ups of debris, replace worn parts, and more.
With end-to-end inspections, thorough cleaning, and model-specific furnace care, homeowners in Fort Washington can limit their risk of dangerous furnace fires and gas leaks. They can also avoid frustrating mid-season breakdowns.
We use multi-point inspection and tune-up checklists to conduct our heating maintenance while ensuring thoroughness:
- Test airflow
- Inspect and clean heat exchangers
- Calibrate thermostats
- Clean burners and flame sensors
- Lubricate moving parts
If you have a natural gas furnace, we will inspect and test your carbon monoxide (CO) detectors as well as your furnace’s flue and exhaust vents. We also replace both pleated and unpleated furnace filters. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), replacing furnace filters alone could increase HVAC efficiency by as much as 15%.
All new furnaces come with manufacturer warranties. Most furnaces come with five to 10-year limited parts warranties and 10 to 15-year warranties on their heat exchangers. These warranties cover all manufacturer-related problems and are mutually binding agreements.
To maintain the protections they provide, homeowners must schedule annual tune-up services with licensed heating contractors. Scheduling our heating maintenance services could help you avoid having your active warranty canceled. Proof of annual furnace maintenance can also help you avoid future claims delays.
By looking for cracks in heat exchangers, inspecting for rust, and verifying the integrity of exhaust vents, combustion chambers, and all fuel source connections, we keep building residents safe. Cleaning and lubricating furnaces, identifying and resolving airflow issues, optimizing blower fan speeds, and removing trapped debris prevent problems like overheating and short cycling.
Routine furnace maintenance and timely attention to all minor problems identified during your furnace tune-up can also promote quieter furnace operation. With our help, you can enjoy even, steady heating without being jarred awake or disrupted during your daytime activities by loud ticking, clanging, or shrieking sounds. By eliminating trapped dust, lint, and other allergenic and potentially combustible debris, routine heater maintenance additionally eliminates unpleasant furnace odors.
