Prepare for Winter, Have Furnace Serviced Early

This winter is coming fast, faster than you or your house may be ready. Besides the fear of the rising oil prices, you shouldn’t have to worry about your furnace or heater not working properly.
A proper inspection and tune-up is a must every year. That’s what every furnace manufacturer recommends.
A furnace maintenance plan will guarantee the life and efficiency of your system. A furnace maintenance check-up should consist of the following:
• Inspect thermostat for proper operation.
• Inspect filter and change or clean as needed.
• Check all electrical components and controls.
• Oil motors as needed.
• Inspect heat exchanger for possible cracks. A crack in the heat exchanger will introduce carbon monoxide into the living space.
• Check air flow. If diminished, it may be necessary to clean the evaporator coil.
• Check air fuel mixture, where appropriate.
• Troubleshooting any problems.
• Inspect duct work.
• Inspect grills and registers.
When you have your tune-up and safety inspection performed, you’ll not only be protecting yourself from potential hazards, you’ll also be increasing the efficiency of your system, improving your air quality and preventing untimely breakdowns that, at the very least, will leave you uncomfortable, and most likely will occur at the worst possible time.
