15 Points Furnace Check-Up Service Encino & Sherman Oaks
1. Inspect and program the thermostat
The thermostat will be leveled and all electrical connections will be checked for good contact. The technician will make sure it’s set for good efficiency and, if you like, offer you a programming lesson.
2. Inspect the furnace area for combustible material
3. Adjust all air volume dampers so the proper volume of warm air reaches all parts of your home.
4. Inspect flue
We’ll make sure it’s free of obstruction, properly supported, and drafts correctly. We will also check for corroded piping. Flues that do not draft properly are dangerous.
5. Replace or clean air filters
This is very important for efficiency and longer system life. Standard throw-away filters will be replaced free of charge. If needed, electronic air-cleaning cells and pre-filters will be cleaned with detergent and large high-efficiency media filters will be replaced for an extra charge.
6. Lubricate the blower motor and inspect the blower wheel Motor bearings require semi-annual lubrication to reduce friction and wear. The blower wheel must be clean to deliver proper airflow.
7. Inspect, clean and adjust gas burners
We check the fuel/air mixture for maximum combustion efficiency and smooth ignition.
8. Examine the heat exchanger
It will be cleaned and visually inspected for holes and cracks. These can be dangerous by allowing gas or carbon monoxide to enter your living area.
9. Lubricate vent motor and other moving parts
Poor lubrication causes drag in the motor drive shaft and increases energy use. It can also ruin the bearing and burn out the motor.
10. Verify manifold gas pressure
Accurate pressure is necessary to control the fuel input to the furnace without wasting fuel. Insufficient pressure can also cause corrosion of furnace venting components.
11. Check condensate drain
Clean if necessary. A clogged drain can cause severe water damage to the equipment and your house. If needed, drain hoses will be replaced for an added charge.
12. Check gas connections at the furnace for leaks and tighten.
13. Measure the temperature increase through the furnace
We adjust the airflow through the furnace to meet the manufacturer’s recommendations to maximize efficiency.
14. Measure the electrical operation of the furnace
We check for proper voltage and amperage of the electrical components, along with wire condition and terminal contact.
15.Test for carbon monoxide gas
Colorless, odorless and deadly, it can escape through your house due to incomplete combustion, blocked flues, and corroded or detached vent connectors.
