Annual Furnace Maintenance to Prevent Costly Problems
The best way to prevent a costly repair is to tune-up your furnace from time to time. We suggest you schedule yearly inspections in late spring or early autumn so we can identify and fix any issues that might arise in the coming colder weather.
So, what needs to be done during a furnace maintenance visit?
- Filter will be changed, if needed.
- Furnace ducts are an important element of your furnace function and will be inspected for any hot air leaks.
- The blower will be cleaned and lubricated.
- The inside of the furnace chamber will be checked for rust, holes, separated seams, and any other damage.
- The burners and pilot will be cleaned ensuring safer and more efficient burning.
- The "high limit" on the furnace will be checked to avoid the possibility of overheating and the gas meter to assess how much fuel your furnace is using.
Scheduling a tune-up before each winter season could make all the difference in lower energy bills, better whole-home comfort, and peace of mind knowing that your furnace is running as safely and as efficiently as possible, not to mention that you’re greatly reducing your chance of repairs in the future by maintaining your unit.
Signs you Need Furnace Repair
Is your furnace telling you something is wrong? If you experience any of the following signs, it could mean that you need a professional solution. Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Strange noises coming from inside the system.
- Heating or cooling power loss.
- Water dripping or pooling around the unit.
- No air flowing from the registers.
Any number of these signs can point to a malfunction. As soon as you notice the issue, call the experts at The Meridian Company right away to catch the problem before it causes a complete breakdown.
No Heat? Check These Things Before Calling a Professional
Not sure if you need to call in your furnace contractor for repairs this winter season? If your furnace isn’t working properly, check the following before giving us a call:
- Is your furnace filter dirty? A dirty furnace filter could prevent proper airflow.
- Is your thermostat set to heat and to a higher temp than the current temperature in your home?
- Check the breakers to make sure there isn’t a blown fuse or tripped breaker. Ensure the switch that controls the heat should be set to the “ON” position.
- There should be a power switch near the furnace. Make sure it’s on.
- Ensure there isn’t furniture blocking the air vents in your home.
If you’ve tried all of these tips and still no heat, then give us a ring. We’ll be happy to come out and inspect your furnace and provide options for repair or replacement.
