Heating tune-up helps prevent breakdowns and potential hazards

I hope this information doesn’t scare you. That’s not my intention. But I think it’s important you have this information so you can take the appropriate action.
Most of us feel very safe in our homes. We should. The problem is,

What We Don’t Know, Can Hurt Us.

Most people never think about their heating system until it breaks down. That’s because most gas furnaces are very reliable and they’re “out of sight, out of mind.”

The problem is, despite its reliability, a catastrophic failure of your furnace could occur at any time, and that failure could result in a gas leak, fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. The only way to prevent that type of disaster is with regular inspections of your heating system.

A proper inspection and tune-up is a must—every year. That’s what every furnace manufacturer recommends. And that’s why we’re writing today. We’d like to schedule your yearly tune-up before the cold weather arrives in earnest, but if we miss the early part of the season we can still extend the life of your heater by performing a tune up now. The sooner you call to schedule this tune up the more likely that your furnace will last through the season and the lower your energy bills are going to be.

When you have your tune-up and safety inspection performed, you’ll not only be protecting yourself from potential hazards, you’ll also be increasing the efficiency of your system, improving your air quality and preventing untimely breakdowns that, at the very least, will leave you uncomfortable, and most likely will occur at the worst possible time.

Our Pre-Season Tune-up and Safety Inspection is very thorough and will take about an hour and a half to perform. We’ll do everything necessary to make sure your system is in tip-top shape; we’ll check, clean and test anything that could lead to a future problem (at least 25 items). We’ll even inspect your ductwork and re-program your thermostat if necessary.

To schedule your service all you need to do is call us at (877) 247-6426 and request our furnace tune up. Call today to schedule a time that’s convenient for you.

Common Heating Questions and Heating Answers

Why does my furnace make strange noises?

furnace tune up includes cleaning the blower wheel

The most common noise by a furnace that is irritating is the blower wheel rattling. This is usually caused by dirt and debris buildup on the blower blades sending it out of balance. Just like a car tire that blower must be balanced. A furnace blower wheel typically travels upwards of 1075 rpm’s (revolutions per minute) with variable speed blowers ramping up to as high as 1700 rpm’s. It must be clean and regular furnace tune ups will keep that heating blower wheel clean and in good shape.

The firebox is making a loud humming noise. Why?

overheated firebox close to firebox rupture

Older worn out heat exchangers can make a loud humming noise when they are heated unevenly. The expanding metal of the firebox groans to life as it heats up and as it cools. This can sometimes be repaired by altering the fuel air mixture and cleaning the furnace thoroughly as we do during a full heater tune up.

Why are my registers rattling all of sudden?

crushed air ducts discovered during furnace tune up

When registers rattle they either have a broken rib (easily corrected) that holds them in place or they are moving more airflow than they are designed for. The air flow problem is more of an issue and can be corrected during a heating system tune up. Usually the reason for the sudden increase in airflow is that some ducting has become crushed or turned off by a dampener closing shut. Ducting often becomes crushed after real estate inspections, cable television additions, remodeling work and termite inspections. Careless workers walk on or lay across the ducting crushing it. The airflow that should go down that crushed duct run is being directed to closer runs causing a noisy increase in airflow. Your heater tune up and furnace cleaning isn’t complete unless the ductwork has been checked.
