September is here, and as the leaves begin to change colours and you pull out those cozy sweaters, it’s the perfect time to think about the heart of your home – your furnace. Before brisk autumn air gives way to cold winter winds, ensure your heating system is primed and ready to keep you warm.
An annual servicing of your furnace is not just a suggestion but a crucial step in ensuring that your heating system remains reliable, efficient, and above all, safe. Just as you’d prepare your wardrobe for winter, switching out summer clothes for warmer layers, consider this an essential step in getting your home ready for the colder months.
When you trust a certified technician with this task, they meticulously examine various components of your furnace. They’ll clean and check the nozzle assembly, electrodes, transformer, and fire eye, also known as the cad cell. The process includes replacing the oil filter(s), examining the oil tank and line, scrutinizing the fan motor and air filter (particularly if you own a warm air furnace), and conducting inspections of the chamber, combustion area, coil, circulator(s), zone valve(s), and flow valve(s). And to wrap it all up, a complete wipe down of the equipment ensures it not just functions but also looks pristine. The technician will also perform a series of tests, such as CO2, efficiency, smoke, and draft tests, and confirm the safeties are in top-notch condition.
