When Should You Have Your Furnace Serviced?

Ensuring that your furnace is working well is important for your comfort and the comfort of your family. Regular maintenance services can help you avoid stressful furnace breakdowns and expensive repairs. At Horizon Services, we recommend that homeowners schedule a once-annual furnace tune-up, ideally in the late summer or fall before the coldest months of the year have begun. This can help you avoid major problems with your furnace and it can even help you save on energy costs by ensuring that your heating system is working at optimal efficiency.

4 Critical Steps of a Furnace Tune-Up

Ensure optimal operation of your furnace with regular maintenance. Though there are several aspects of furnace tune-ups, a qualified HVAC technician will likely prioritize these four processes:

1. Cleaning the Flame Sensor

When working properly, a flame sensor is responsible for keeping burners ignited. It also ensures the gas burners in your furnace remain off until heating is initiated. However, when this component is dirty, it doesn’t sense the presence of a flame which causes your furnace to power down. To clean the flame sensor, your technician will power down the area and carefully remove it from its secure location.

After removing the flame sensor, your HVAC technician will use a wire brush to remove caked-on grime and dirt. Once excess char is removed, the technician will reinstall the sensor in its original place and test its functionality. We offer furnace tune-up solutions in areas such as Camden, Raleigh, Upper Darby, Wilmington, Columbia, and Trenton. Our technicians will perform a variety of tests to ensure your flame sensor is working correctly.

2. Heat Exchanger Inspection

This is a very tricky part of your heating system and should be handled by a professional. During a routine furnace tune-up or cleaning appointment, inspecting the heat exchanger consists of turning off all power and assessing the furnace’s mechanical components. Carbon buildup and broken or damaged parts all impact the performance of the heat exchanger.

Our team may need to remove additional parts, such as the blower and burner, to get a better view. A broken heat exchanger can be very expensive. If there is significant damage, replacing your furnace could be the most cost-effective solution. Seek the advice of a professional technician before making any decisions.

3. Blower Motor Maintenance

Your furnace’s blower motor is responsible for spreading warm air produced in the furnace throughout the interior of your home. To test the condition of your blower, a certified contractor will conduct a furnace tune-up and shut off the power. Next, the technician will check the aspects of the blower motor such as the fan wheel, fan blades, pulleys, and belts.

If dirty or damaged, your technician will clean or replace the component. Our certified technicians provide furnace cleaning and maintenance solutions in locations such as Newark, Allentown, Edison, Baltimore, Upper Darby, Wilmington, and Silver Spring. To increase the efficiency of your system, our team will oil your blower motor to help it operate smoothly.

4. Evaluate Controls & Electrical

Worn electrical components will impact your furnace’s ability to function properly. It may also cause an electrical fire.

A certified technician will turn off all power to your furnace before assessing the electrical connections of the heating elements. He’ll ensure that the connections are tight and wires are free from debris and dirt. Any faulty parts will need to be replaced right away.
Additional electrical components that may be tested include:

• Thermostat
• Valves
• Temperature sensor
• Multi-speed fan

The electrical and wiring components are very dangerous parts of your furnace and should always be handled by a professional.
