To keep your home feeling like a winter wonderland, your furnace needs some professional attention. Let’s unwrap the mystery of what happens during a furnace tune-up!
It’s like giving your heating system a holiday gift that keeps on giving all season long.
Why schedule a tune-up?
Just like making your list and checking it twice, having a professional check your furnace before the winter season is crucial. A tune-up helps prevent those “not-so-merry” breakdowns during the coldest days of the year and keeps your energy bills from climbing higher than a star on a tree.
What our technicians do during a tune-up
Safety inspection first
Our certified technicians start by checking all safety components. This includes inspecting the heat exchanger and testing carbon monoxide levels – because your family’s safety is the greatest gift of all!
Burner maintenance
The technician will clean and inspect the burners to ensure they’re producing nice, even blue flames. Think of it like adjusting the lights on your holiday decorations – everything needs to shine just right!
Thorough cleaning
Your technician will thoroughly clean the blower assembly, where all the warm air magic happens, along with the flame sensor and ignition system. They’ll also address various other internal components that need attention to keep your system running at its best.
Check and calibrate
Like perfecting a holiday recipe, everything needs to be just right. The technician will test and calibrate the thermostat, check all electrical connections, verify proper airflow, and ensure the system cycles correctly. This comprehensive testing helps ensure your system operates efficiently throughout the season.
Filter check and basic maintenance tips
While your technician handles the complex stuff, they’ll also show you the simple things you can do to keep your system running smoothly. This includes guidance on changing or cleaning your filter every 1-3 months, keeping your vents clean, and ensuring your return air grilles remain clear of furniture and decorations.
The gift that keeps giving
A professional tune-up helps lower your energy bills and extend your furnace’s life. It prevents those mid-winter breakdowns that no one wants to deal with during the holiday season, helps maintain your warranty, and keeps your home cozy all season long.
Think of a furnace tune-up as your home’s holiday tradition – one that ensures comfort and peace of mind during the festive season and beyond. Happy holidays from our family to yours! Contact Ballard online for the best service in San Bernardino, or call us at 909-297-1914.
