Preventative Maintenance for Your Furnace in the Niles, MI area

Typical gas furnace tune-up include:

For a one-time tune-up, or with our seasonal Maintenance Agreement, furnace maintenance steps will vary a bit based on the age and technology of your furnace. We can provide a careful analysis, inspection, and cleaning of your heating systems regardless of you furnace's manufacturers:

Inspection and Cleaning:

Initial Inspection: On arrival, we'll carefully inspect your gas furnace, gas piping, and ductwork to note its condition and document any obvious deficiencies.
Cabinet: We'll remove the furnace and blower doors. We'll inspect and clean the furnace blower and control compartment.
Electrical Connections: We'll inspect the 120VAC and 24 VAC connections to the furnace to ensure they are secure. We'll inspect the transformer and furnace safety switches for proper electrical connections and signs of wear.
Filters and IAQ: If you have a replaceable furnace filter we'll change it. If you have an electronic air cleaner or other IAQ systems we'll inspect it and clean the airstream components as needed.
Check Ignition System: We'll inspect the pilot light assembly or ignition system and clean as necessary.
Lubrication: We'll lubricate any moving parts that require lubrication like motors, bearings, or fans to reduce friction and prevent noise.
Heat Exchanger: Inspect gas furnace heat exchanger for cracks, soot, and corrosion. Clean if needed.
Venting System: Inspect the flues and combustion air systems to ensure proper operation.
Condensate: If you have a condensing furnace, we'll check the condensation drains and any condensation pumps.

Operational Testing: We'll initiate heating operation and test components and output.

Gas Pressure and Burner: Verify proper gas pressure during operation and inspect burners for proper operation.
Blower Motor: During test operation, we'll measure the amperage and voltage for the fan motor to ensure it is in great condition.
Ductwork: Check ductwork for loose joints or hangers, and seal with mastic duct sealant as needed. We'll document any duct noises that would indicate loose or improper support.
Thermostat(s): We'll check you thermostat(s) for proper operation. If they utilize batteries for power, we'll change the batteries.
Performance and Temperature Rise: During operation we will check for proper temperature rise across the heat exchanger and evaluate proper blower airflow.

After Service:

Clean-up: We'll pick-up our tools, remove any old filters, and thoroughly clean our workspace.
Prepare Visit Report: We'll explain our work and document any potential problems or recommended repairs.

If we find your furnace needs major repairs, or if its is more than 12 years old, we'll likely recommend you consider upgrading to a new Armstrong furnace.
