A fall furnace tuneup is the best way to keep your home heated comfortably and your energy bills under control during the winter. The comfort and energy savings are great benefits but you’ll get even more perks by combining your tuneup with a total maintenance plan.
Benefits of fall furnace tuneups
You need a technician who will perform these tasks and more:
- Thorough testing – Airflow, supply and return differential and heat distribution are just a few of the things that need to be checked. Even more importantly, your air should be checked annually for the presence of carbon monoxide.
- Inspect calibrations and efficiency – Of course, the fan belt should be tested for tension and the thermostat should be calibrated to ensure it’s reading properly but the tests go beyond that. The burner pilot, heat exchanger, ignition and ventilation are just a few of the things that should not be overlooked.
- Top-to-bottom cleaning – Dust, dirt and other buildup obstruct airflow and rob your system of efficiency. They should be cleaned from your equipment.
- Check all electrical wiring – The blower motor should be tested for proper amperage and voltage. All wiring and electrical connections should be checked for damage and proper functionality.
While the technician is on-site, have him assess your system and setup a Total Maintenance Package.
