You rely on your furnace to keep your home or business warm and comfortable all winter long, and that’s why an annual inspection from experienced HVAC professionals is so important. A professional inspection provides several key benefits.
- With proper maintenance your furnace operates efficiently, reducing energy waste and saving on heating costs.
- An annual inspection by a qualified professional helps extend the life of your furnace by preventing damage to vital components.
- During an inspection, small problems can be identified and addressed before they become major issues.
- Regular inspection helps prevent safety issues like the risk of fire and carbon monoxide leaks.
What does a furnace inspection include?
An inspection conducted by one of Deljo’s Nate certified technicians will include the following:
- Checking the vent system for leaks or blockages.
- Examining the heat exchanger for signs of corrosion and cracks or separations. A damaged heat exchanger can allow deadly carbon monoxide gas to escape.
- Checking the blower and cleaning its components, including the blower wheel to make sure it’s free of dirt and debris.
- Testing for a tight seal on the blower access door.
- Checking the air intake grills for blockages.
- Checking the burner for proper ignition and testing the flame sensor for accurate operation.
- Lubricating the motor’s moving parts to reduce friction. Friction causes the motor to work harder, using more electricity and possibly leading to premature failure.
- Checking to make sure all electrical connections are tight and examining the wiring for signs of corrosion.
- Checking the belts for signs of wear or cracks.
- Examining the flue for obstructions. If the toxic fumes produced by combustion cannot escape up the flue, that will compromise indoor air quality.
- Testing the thermostat calibration.
- Test to make sure the furnace’s startup cycle is functioning properly.
- A written report on findings and recommendations.
