...
We know autumn always seems to fly by, but there is one thing you should make sure you’re ticking off your yearly to-do list as soon as the first leaf falls. Furnace maintenance.
If you want to ensure your furnace is ready for the winter chill, a furnace tune-up from Cross Heating & Air Conditioning is absolutely essential.
In today’s blog we’ll go over the importance of fall furnace maintenance, our industry-leading furnace maintenance process, and why joining our exclusive membership program will help make tune-ups even easier!
If you’re in the Waterloo, Listowel or Hanover areas, this furnace maintenance blog is for you. Let’s begin!
The Value of Professional Maintenance & Inspections
Regular furnace maintenance is the best way to avoid costly breakdowns and even full system replacements.
A tune-up will help your furnace run as smoothly and efficiently as possible, saving you money on your monthly bills, and prolongs the useful life of your equipment so you can depend on warming comfort, all year long.
The Cross Furnace Maintenance Process
Visual Inspection
Before you call us in, there are a couple of things you can do as a homeowner to ensure your furnace is running its absolute best. These include a visual inspection of the furnace area, changing your furnace filter every 90 days and taking note of any unusual sounds or smells.
It’s also important to make sure you have a functioning carbon monoxide detector installed. You can test it periodically using the test button, and ensure you are replacing it every 10 years, or as per manufacturer specifications.
When it comes to ensuring your furnace is ready for the winter workload, a fall checkup from the team at Cross can make all the difference!
We recommend scheduling a furnace tune-up at least once a year with Cross Heating & Air Conditioning to make sure your heating system is running safely and efficiently. Our team of experts will conduct both a reliability and an efficiency check during every tune-up appointment.
Reliability
Regardless of the age of your furnace, our experts will undergo a reliability check to assess its condition. This will help down the road if you encounter issues with your heating. Even if your furnace is older, the issue may not warrant a full replacement. Sometimes a quick repair is enough to do the trick. A good rule of thumb is that if the repair costs are more than half the price of a replacement, we may recommend a new furnace installation to help you save money in the long run.
Cross’ reliability checks include:
- Gas piping leaks
- Inconsistent temperatures
- Vent cleanliness and overall quality
Efficiency
During our world-class furnace efficiency checks, our technicians will check for any strange noises or air impurities. We will also ask how your furnace has been performing and if there have been any issues with heating the various areas of your home, or if you’ve been scheduling frequent repairs.
Cross’ efficiency checks include:
- Static and kinetic gas pressure
- Vent pressure
- Proper drainage and condensate leaks
- Safety and high-limit flame sense
Our certified heating team will make sure your furnace is running efficiently so your monthly bills remain under control. If any issues arise during the maintenance appointment, we may recommend service or repairs to help save you money in the long run.
After the tune-up is completed, we’ll check in to ensure you’re delighted with the service and your system is running perfectly.
