Furnace Service

Furnace Service

When the cold weather arrives, a reliable furnace isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. Your heating system works hard to keep your home warm and comfortable, but this constant operation can lead to wear and tear. Over time, dust, debris, and minor mechanical issues can compromise its performance, leading to higher energy bills, unexpected breakdowns, and even safety hazards. Professional furnace service from Res Air LLC is the key to preventing these problems, ensuring your system runs efficiently and safely all season long. It’s a proactive investment in your comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

What Our Professional Furnace Service Includes

A thorough furnace service goes far beyond a quick filter change. Our technicians perform a detailed, multi-point inspection and tune-up designed to restore your system to peak condition. We leave no stone unturned, ensuring every component is clean, calibrated, and operating as it should.

Our comprehensive checklist includes:

• Complete System Inspection: We examine the entire furnace unit, checking for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. This includes inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, which is critical for preventing dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
• Burner and Flame Sensor Cleaning: We meticulously clean the burners and flame sensor to ensure proper ignition and efficient fuel combustion. A clean burner assembly leads to better heating performance and lower energy consumption.
• Blower Motor and Wheel Cleaning: The blower is responsible for circulating warm air throughout your home. We clean the motor and wheel to remove dust and debris, improving airflow and reducing strain on the system.
• Electrical Connection Check: We inspect and tighten all electrical connections. Loose wiring can cause a system failure or create a serious fire hazard.
• Thermostat Calibration: We test your thermostat to ensure it is accurately reading the room temperature and communicating correctly with the furnace, preventing short cycling and temperature swings.
• Safety Control Testing: Your furnace has several safety controls, such as the high-limit switch, designed to shut the system down in case of a malfunction. We test these controls to confirm they are functioning properly.
• Gas Pressure and Pilot Light Adjustment: We check and adjust the gas pressure to ensure it meets manufacturer specifications for safe and efficient operation. We also inspect the pilot light for a steady, blue flame.
• Lubrication of Moving Parts: All moving parts are lubricated to reduce friction, which minimizes wear and tear and helps the system operate more quietly and efficiently.
• Condensate Drain Inspection: For high-efficiency furnaces, we inspect and clear the condensate drain line to prevent clogs that could cause water damage or system shutdowns.
• Air Filter Replacement: We will inspect and, if necessary, replace your air filter, a simple but crucial step for maintaining good airflow and indoor air quality.

Key Benefits of Annual Furnace Maintenance

Scheduling regular furnace service is one of the most important things you can do for your home's heating system. The benefits extend far beyond simply keeping your furnace running.

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: A clean, well-tuned furnace doesn't have to work as hard to heat your home. This translates directly into lower monthly energy bills.
• Fewer Costly Repairs: Our technicians can identify and address minor issues before they escalate into major, expensive breakdowns. Preventative maintenance is always more affordable than emergency repairs.
• Extended System Lifespan: Just like a car, a well-maintained furnace will last longer. Regular service protects your investment and postpones the need for a costly replacement.
• Improved Safety: The most critical benefit is safety. Our inspections can detect carbon monoxide leaks, gas line issues, and electrical hazards, protecting your family from potentially life-threatening situations.
• Reliable and Consistent Comfort: A serviced furnace provides consistent, reliable heat, eliminating cold spots and ensuring your home stays comfortable when you need it most.
• Maintained Warranty Coverage: Many manufacturer warranties require proof of regular professional maintenance. Annual service ensures your warranty remains valid.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Professional Attention

Your furnace will often give you warning signs that it needs service. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more significant damage. Call for a professional inspection if you notice:

• Unusual Noises: Banging, rattling, or squealing sounds indicate a mechanical problem.
• Strange Odors: A strong smell of gas (like rotten eggs) is an emergency. Other musty or burning smells also signal a problem.
• Increased Energy Bills: A sudden, unexplained spike in your heating costs often means your furnace is losing efficiency.
• Frequent Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual, it may be overheating or have an issue with the thermostat.
• Weak Airflow: Reduced airflow from your vents can be a sign of a clogged filter or a failing blower motor.
• Yellow Pilot Light: The pilot light flame should be blue. A yellow or flickering flame indicates a combustion problem that could be producing carbon monoxide.
