Our Comprehensive Heating Maintenance Process
We believe that thoroughness is non-negotiable. A quick glance at your system isn’t enough to guarantee performance. Our maintenance service is a detailed, multi-point process designed to restore your heating system to its peak operational state, addressing potential issues before they escalate into expensive repairs.
- Detailed System Inspection: Our service begins with a comprehensive diagnostic inspection of your entire heating system. We leave no stone unturned, meticulously checking every critical component. This includes:
- Thermostat Calibration: We test and calibrate your thermostat to ensure it accurately reads the room temperature and communicates properly with the heating unit.
- Electrical Connections: All wiring and electrical connections are tightened and inspected for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage to prevent system failure and electrical hazards.
- Safety Control Testing: We verify the proper function of all safety controls, including high-limit switches and flame rollout sensors, which are crucial for protecting your home.
- Component Examination: We inspect the condition of belts, motors, and capacitors, looking for signs of fatigue or impending failure.
- Meticulous System Cleaning: Over time, dust, dirt, and debris accumulate within your heating system, forcing it to work harder, reducing efficiency, and negatively impacting your indoor air quality. Our cleaning process is deep and transformative:
- Blower & Fan Cleaning: We thoroughly clean the blower wheel, fan blades, and motor housing to ensure unrestricted airflow and optimal heat distribution.
- Burner & Ignition Assembly: For gas furnaces, we clean the burners and ignition system to ensure a clean, efficient burn and reliable ignition.
- Heat Exchanger Cleaning & Inspection: We clean the surface of the heat exchanger and perform a visual inspection for any cracks or corrosion that could lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
- Condensate Drain Line: We check and clear the condensate drain line to prevent clogs that can cause water damage and system shutdowns.
- Precision Tune-Up and Calibration: The final step is to fine-tune your system’s performance. Our technicians make precise adjustments to ensure it operates exactly as the manufacturer intended:
- Lubrication of Moving Parts: We lubricate all moving parts, including motor bearings, to reduce friction, minimize noise, and prevent premature wear.
- Gas Pressure Adjustment: We test and adjust the gas pressure to ensure the safest and most efficient fuel combustion.
- System Cycling Test: We run the system through a full heating cycle to monitor its performance, measure temperature differentials, and confirm everything is operating in perfect harmony.
