WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A PREVENTIVE HEATING SYSTEM TUNE UP?

You may have specific concerns that extend beyond this list, or you may realize not every item below applies to you. However, this checklist provides a terrific starting point for the tasks you should include in most regular HVAC checkups. The following items are the bare minimum our expert technicians will check when you schedule a heating system tune up in central PA:

• Thermostat check: This task ensures your thermostat is working correctly and providing precise control over the temperature, as well as offering accurate temperature readings. Our technicians will fix any issues they find with this system, or else confirm the thermostat is working as it should be.
• Combustion analytics: This check ensures every control involved in the heating system works as it’s supposed to. Your tech will make sure the system stops, starts and performs every other function as directed with no issues.
• Motor inspection: If any of the motors are dirty, blocked or misaligned, this will significantly reduce your unit’s efficiency. Any routine check should take the time to ensure this component is clean and free from any problems.
• Verify gas pressure: If you have a heating system that runs on oil, gas or propane, this check makes sure every fuel line is connected properly, with no leaks anywhere. If the techs uncover any problems, they will promptly fix these to ensure a healthy system for another year.
• Cleaning and replacing filters: No filter lasts forever. These naturally fill up with dust, dirt and other contaminants, and you will, therefore, need to replace them regularly with new filters. Doing so should be part of any annual checkup.
• Cleaning intake and exhaust vents: Can the air get in and out of your heating system with no obstacles? If either the intake or exhaust vents are clogged or dirty, it will limit your system’s efficiency and effectiveness, as well as restricting its ability to keep your air clean. Always make sure to get these vents checked during your annual maintenance.
• Inspect for accumulated dust and mold: Anything you don’t often handle will naturally have a buildup of dust over time. Make sure to clean this coating off your heater every year to ensure the highest level of functioning. Check for mold as well, as this may limit your system’s functionality while also indicating excessive dampness, which may be a sign of an underlying problem.

You should call in the heating and cooling professionals at least once a year to perform an annual heating system checkup that ticks the items off this list, but don’t be afraid to stop there. If you notice a strange sound, smell or peculiarity in your system’s functioning, don’t hesitate to call in a professional opinion, even if it hasn’t been a year yet. Who knows what issues you might catch before they have the chance to develop into a real problem by being proactive like this? Contact us today to talk to an expert
