Now that we’re well into spring and are preparing to get out the deck furniture, raking the lawn and anticipating the warmer weather, why not take advantage of the chance to have your furnace checked and cleaned? Having this done annually is an important step in ensuring that it will continue to work safely and efficiently in heating your home when cooler temperatures arrive.
Having a certified technician perform a detailed servicing of your home’s heating equipment involves checking and cleaning the nozzle assembly, electrodes, transformer, and cad cell (fire eye), replacing the oil filter(s), inspecting the oil tank and line, checking the fan motor and air filter (if you have a warm air furnace), inspecting the chamber and combustion area, as well as the coil, circulator(s), zone valve(s), and flow valve(s). Finally, the technician should wipe down all equipment and conduct a CO2 test, efficiency test, smoke test, draft test, and check all the safeties to ensure that your furnace not only works optimally but also looks good.
At Scotia Fuels, we provide all this service as part of your oil price per litre. We highly recommend that all our customers take advantage of this every year, regardless of the season. We even offer oil pans for your burner and oil filters at no cost.
Neglecting to maintain your furnace regularly can lead to a host of issues, from inefficiency and higher energy bills to equipment breakdown and even safety hazards. So don’t wait until it’s too late or delay until the busier fall season. Contact us today through our website at https://scotiafuels.com/contact-us/ or by calling 902-453-2121.
