Furnace Maintenance

Regular furnace maintenance helps keep your heating system operating safely and efficiently. While maintenance cannot prevent every breakdown, it can identify developing problems before they leave you without heat.

Common Problems We Can Catch

Seized Inducer Motors
A seized inducer motor can prevent your furnace from starting altogether. During a maintenance visit, we inspect the motor's operation and have caught failing inducer motors before they completely failed.

Dirty Flame Sensors
A dirty flame sensor is one of the most common causes of furnace shutdowns. If the flame sensor cannot properly detect the burner flame, the furnace will shut off as a safety measure. Cleaning the flame sensor is a standard part of our maintenance service.

Pressure Switch Error Codes
Pressure switch error codes are among the most common furnace faults we encounter. While the pressure switch itself can fail, many of these errors are actually caused by clogged collector boxes, blocked drain lines, or venting issues. Identifying and cleaning these components can often prevent future problems.

Changing the Furnace Filter
Replacing the furnace filter is one of the simplest ways to improve airflow and system performance. Although many homeowners know it should be done, it is often forgotten. During your maintenance, we will replace the filter (customer-supplied or additional cost if one is required).

 

 

Protect Your Warranty

Many furnace manufacturers require regular maintenance as part of their warranty conditions. If a major component fails and there is no record of maintenance, your warranty claim could be denied. Having your furnace inspected annually helps demonstrate that the equipment has been properly maintained.

How Much Does Furnace Maintenance Cost?

Our furnace maintenance service is $100.00 and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the condition of the equipment.
