Heating System Maintenance

Your heating and cooling equipment will last longer when properly maintained.  Our professional service technicians understand your air conditioning and heating system and can eliminate costly problems.

Here is a list of what our technicians check for when servicing your equipment:

  • Heat exchanger will be inspected for cracks and deterioration
    Benefit: Heat exchangers can develop cracks with age.  If they exist, there is a risk of serious illness from toxic fumes emitted.
  • Carbon Monoxide levels will be tested
    Benefit: Insure that there are no dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide gas present.
  • Air filter will be replaced (high quality, pleated)
    Benefit: A restricted air filter can cause your heating and air conditioning unit to waste energy and shorten the compressor's life.
  • Burners will be checked and cleaned
    Benefit: Dirty burners can cause poor combustion.  You pay for useful heat that "goes up the stack."
  • Thermocouple will be tested
    Benefit: A gradual weakening thermocouple will eventually lock out the gas valve.  This could result in you having a "no heat" situation and possibly result in an expensive night-time emergency call.
  • Fan switch will be checked and adjusted as needed
    Benefit: A fan switch that is not properly adjusted can waste energy or cause nuisance fan cycling.
  • Pilot will be checked
    Benefit: Weak or dirty pilots can easily be extinguished causing the furnace to shut down.
  • Safety controls will be operationally checked
    Benefit: Safety controls that do not operate can cause dangerous problems.
  • Blower wheel will be cleaned and motor lubricated
    Benefit: Motor will last longer and the temperature will be more comfortable.
  • Gas line will be leak-checked from the furnace shut-off valve to the burners
    Benefit: Undetected gas leaks are dangerous.
  • Combustion air openings will be checked
    Benefit: Blocked or restricted combustion air openings can be dangerous.
  • Flue pipe inspection
    Benefit: Flue pipe corrosion or leaks are dangerous.  They could allow combustion by-products and Carbon Monoxide into your home.
  • Check for proper vent draft
    Benefit: Improper venting or back drafting can allow Carbon Monoxide into your home.
  • Secure all panels
    Benefit: Avoid dangerous conditions and help prevent no heat situations.
  • Thermostat will be checked
    Benefit: Defective or improperly calibrated thermostats affect comfort and operating cost.
  • Temperatures and performance will be recorded
    Benefit: An accurate record of vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be eliminated.
