There’s so much advice floating around, giving tips to help your furnace operate at higher efficiency levels and reduce heating energy bills. In the grand scheme of things, many of these tips don’t have much of an impact on the furnace and some are just plain old wives’ tales. If you’re searching for a tried and true way to help your furnace run at its best while also saving money, annual inspections of any forced air heating systems are exactly what you need.
Furnace tune-ups are always completed by Jarboe’s NATE-certified Louisville heating technicians. With their trained eyes reviewing every inch of your entire furnace, any flaws hiding out deep within the heating system or even in plain sight are going to be brought to light – plus, your technician is going to share exactly how to prevent furnace repair services. Decades of experience and dedication to customer satisfaction allow our team to explain the significance of spotted issues, as well as if they are flaws that have a simple fix or require ongoing concern.
When you call Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing to perform your furnace tune-up each year, our exhaustive furnace maintenance checklist guides your technician in delivering routine furnace maintenance service to all integral parts of the heating system. This way, every part’s operation, and energy efficiency are optimized so you can sit back and relax with reliable heat that won’t cost a fortune.
Many homeowners are curious about our furnace maintenance checklist and the steps it includes. To help you better understand what happens when one of our certified Louisville furnace maintenance technicians performs a tune-up on heating and cooling systems, these are just some of the steps we follow:
Any air conditioning or heating system manufacturer has one common recommendation to help homeowners care for their air conditioning and furnace units – furnace maintenance. Manufacturers advise homeowners to have professional tune-up services completed every year. Hire a licensed furnace maintenance technician to ensure your furnace receives attention based on all details outlined in our furnace maintenance checklist. Skipping a tune-up or hiring someone who’s not qualified to perform this service could reduce the efficiency of your furnace as well as damage the unit.
Furnace maintenance produces the same benefits no matter when it is completed. Even so, we advise customers to try and schedule tune-up service as early in the fall as possible. There are a few reasons for this:
Gas furnaces and other furnace types thrive when they receive professional regular maintenance once per year. Outside of a tune-up, there are a few tasks you need to perform to keep your furnace running efficiently until that next annual servicing.
Furnace filters are protective components that extract contaminants from the indoor air supply. Cleaner air is one obvious benefit, but believe it or not, concerns about the home’s air aren’t why air filters were placed into these systems. The contaminants floating in the air could settle on parts inside the furnace if allowed to pass through. Without furnace filters, this dust and debris would hamper furnace performance and could cause damage to various parts inside the equipment cabinet.
Change air filters regularly throughout the year. The filter manufacturer states how long a particular air filter is expected to last, but heavy system usage and existing indoor air quality struggles can cause your air filters to fill up faster. It’s best to check the air filter once per month and assess if a new air filter should be installed at that point.
If you’re closing vents to save money on heat, stop doing this now! Closing a vent in one area doesn’t stop the furnace from making heat for that area – the heat is simply sent somewhere else. No energy savings is generated and this can actually cause problems with your furnace.
Check every room to make sure return and supply vents are open and clear. Don’t place furniture over floor registers or in front of return air grilles on walls. If louvered register covers don’t open all the way, remove floor registers and clean them to see if this will free up the mechanism so you can fully open the vent.
Also, consider whole-house ventilation systems to improve airflow throughout your home.
With gas and oil heating systems, carbon monoxide may result from an incomplete combustion process. Normally, the combustion gases won’t escape the HVAC system and entire your home, but heat exchanger cracks could expose your family to this toxin. This is why you need to have carbon monoxide detectors installed at home.
Monthly, press the TEST button to make sure all carbon monoxide detectors are working properly. Batteries should be replaced on a six-month basis, even though they may not be out of charge. You’ll need to replace carbon monoxide alarms every five to seven years, or sooner if a unit fails its monthly test.
