Annual Furnace tune-up inspections are required to keep your home systems running safely and efficiently. Having your furnace serviced before the winter season helps ensure that you have reliable and optimal comfort throughout the season.

Without heating services in Pasadena, your system is significantly more likely to lose efficiency quickly and fail, especially during high-use seasons when the temperature is coldest.

A Furnace Tune-Up Checklist Includes:-

A furnace tune-up is a service provided by a professional HVAC expert that includes a complete cleaning, inspection, and calibration of internal and external components of your furnace. A furnace tune-up checklist includes:

• Checking and adjusting blower motor and belts: Your HVAC system continuously draws up dirt and dust from the air. A dirty blower motor and belts consume more energy and contribute to higher energy bills.

• Burners should be removed and cleaned if necessary: The burner is the component of the furnace that burns gas that creates a flame. Because of the gas burning, the burner is prone to carbon and soot build-up. Hence, cleaning burners during furnace tune-up is essential.

• Lubrication for all moving parts: All furnace moving parts, including the fan belts and motors, are tested, serviced, and lubricated to eliminate friction. Preventable problems, such as broken belts or seized-up motor bearings, are avoided by keeping these components in good working order.

• Electrical connection tightening: A professional inspect all the electrical components of the system, such as the thermostat, wiring, and terminals. Checking loose wires and electrical connections can help avoid malfunctions and the need for costly repairs to the furnace.

• Clean condensate drain: The components of the condensate drain system are inspected to ensure they are in good working order. The furnace will break down if the condensate drain lines become clogged with dirt and debris. The drain lines are also flushed to remove any blockages before they produce problems such as mold development, excessive humidity, or condensate leaks.

• Thermostat testing and calibration: Incorrectly calibrated thermostats cause the unit to run longer than necessary. The technician can calibrate your thermostat to set a temperature that meets your cooling requirements. If your thermostat is not operating, they will repair or replace it.

• Cleaning the air filter: Dirty furnace air filter will work harder to maintain the set temperature. As a result, cleaning or replacing air filters every three months will improve airflow and keep contaminants out of your indoor air.

• Checking controls and safety: Malfunctioning controls can make your furnace inefficient. Controls and safeties that fail to function correctly can raise operating costs and cause other components to fail.

• Checking gas leaks: A gas leak near your furnace could risk your family and property. During a furnace service in Pasadena, the technician will inspect the gas line for any leaks.

• Examine the heat exchanger and the CO detector: Examine the heat exchanger for any cracks or leaks. Also, test your carbon monoxide (CO) detector and, if necessary, replace its batteries.
