​

What Is Heating Maintenance?

In simple terms, furnace maintenance is a check-up for your home’s heating system. A heating maintenance visit makes a huge difference on how well your system operates. A typical furnace maintenance visit for an electric furnace will entail:

​

• Checking the vent system and air intake grilles.

• Inspecting the heat exchanger.

• Testing the blower motor.

• Inspecting electrical connections and wiring.

• Examining and replacing belts as needed.

• Lubricating the moving parts.

• Changing the air filter.

• Testing and calibrating the thermostat.

​

For gas furnaces, additional steps are taken which include:

• Inspecting the fuel lines and connections.

• Testing the gas pressure 

• Checking the operation of the burner and pilot.

• Checking the thermocouple for damage or wear.

​

On-The-Spot Repairs

Furnace maintenance isn’t just about checking the system for problems, it’s also about making the necessary repairs. If our technicians find any problems, worn parts, or bad connections, in most cases they’ll be fixed during the maintenance visit upon your approval. Our trucks are fully stocked with the most common parts and the tools needed to get the job done. If we don’t have the part on the truck, we’ll get it right away so you don’t have to wait. 

​

Is Furnace Maintenance Necessary?

Absolutely. Furnaces are complex machines and if something goes wrong with one component, it can cause damage to the rest of the furnace. Regular maintenance helps keep your furnace operating properly and reduces the number of repairs it will need. Keeping your furnace maintained helps make it run more efficiently, which means it will use less energy while still providing the warmth you need. A well-maintained furnace will also last longer than one that’s been neglected. 

​

How Long Does Heating Maintenance Take?

You have a busy life with a lot going on and you don’t have much time to spare. We understand that, and we do everything we can to make our heating maintenance visits as quick as possible. A typical heating maintenance visit takes less than an hour to complete. Despite the fact that it doesn’t take long, our technicians are very thorough, making sure to check every aspect of your furnace to make sure it’s ready for the winter ahead.

​

How Often Do I Need Furnace Maintenance?

We recommend that you have your home’s heater professionally maintained at least once a year. The best time to do so is during the fall months, before you need to put your furnace into full-time use. That isn’t a hard rule, however, and if you miss that period of time, don’t worry. We can perform heating maintenance anytime of the year. What really matters isn’t when you have it done, it’s just important to do it.
