Getting ready for winter inside your Bethany area home means having a furnace you can rely on to carry you through the harsh cold temperatures. With the proper professional help, you can find reliable, efficient, and safe heating for your home.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
Our dedicated HVAC technicians provide an annual service for maintaining your home’s heating system and recommend never skipping a year of prevention. While you can schedule maintenance at any time, it’s best completed in the fall before you fire up the furnace to combat the colder weather.
Steps of Annual Heating Maintenance
Annual maintenance requires a dedicated approach to ensure nothing is left out. Our technicians work through a comprehensive checklist of steps, looking for problems, tuning your system, and making adjustments as needed so you can stay warm in your home.
Clean Inside of Furnace
The first thing our technicians do during annual maintenance is to remove the cover from your furnace and clean out the dust and dirt that has accumulated inside over the past year. This accumulation can cause your machine to work harder, adding stress to your system and creating a higher workload. The technician will also be better able to see the parts and components with these contaminants out of the way.
Visual Inspection
After cleaning away dust, our technicians visually inspect your heating system. We look for signs of excessive wear and tear and other damage that could hinder the proper function of your system. This part of maintenance is crucial for spotting problems before winter so that repairs can be made in plenty of time.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Some parts of your heating system move to create heat or pump air into the vents. Your technician will lubricate the necessary components to protect them from friction when they move, helping reduce wear and tear.
Check Utility Connections
Without secure utility connections, your furnace may not be able to produce and blow heat into your home. The technicians inspect wiring, plugs, and gas hookups to ensure all are secure and damage-free. Loose wiring poses a threat of fires while loose gas hookups can allow gas to leak out into your home, creating a risk for adverse health and explosions.
Check for Unusual Sounds
Your furnace should operate quietly, so if you hear loud banging noises or anything else out of the ordinary, the technicians may need to investigate further. Our crew has advanced knowledge of heating systems and knows what to listen for and how to diagnose the problem.
Check for Strange Smells
As with sounds, unusual smells must be investigated. You should never smell anything when your furnace operates, so foul or odd odors can be cause for alarm.
Assess for Proper Airflow
Without sufficient and even airflow, you’ll struggle to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. The technician will fire up your system and ensure you’re getting warm air from all the vents. If any vents appear blocked or have little air coming out, the technician will inspect the system to find the problem.
Benefits of Preventative Maintenance for Your Heating System
Annual maintenance helps you save money, stay comfortable, and avoid the hassle and inconvenience of calling for emergency heating repairs in the middle of winter. You’ll enjoy a lower risk of unexpected breakdowns after annual maintenance thanks to our dedicated technicians spotting warning signs early and scheduling repairs. Your system will operate more efficiently when regularly tuned and cleaned, leading to lower heating costs.
Finally, your furnace will be under less stress when taken care of every fall. This helps keep the parts and components within the system in good operating condition and can help you get several more years of efficient and reliable use from your furnace.
