Furnace Maintenance Services Near North Vancouver

A thorough inspection of your furnace is conducted to check for any visible issues or signs of wear and tear. This includes examining the heat exchanger, burners, ignition system, and other components.

Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate within the furnace, affecting its efficiency and potentially causing damage. HVAC technicians clean the furnace’s components, including the blower assembly, burner assembly, and air filters.

Proper lubrication of moving parts such as the blower motor and fan ensures smooth and efficient operation. Lubricating these parts can reduce friction, noise, and wear.

Dirty or clogged air filters can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Technicians replace or clean air filters, depending on the type of filter used, to ensure optimal airflow and indoor air quality.

For gas furnaces, technicians perform a combustion analysis to ensure that the fuel is burning efficiently and not producing excessive carbon monoxide (CO). Adjustments may be made to optimize combustion.

Safety is a paramount concern during furnace maintenance. Technicians inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or signs of damage, as a cracked heat exchanger can lead to CO leaks. They also check gas connections, venting, and other safety features.

Ensuring that your thermostat is calibrated correctly is crucial for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient indoor temperature. Technicians may recalibrate the thermostat as needed.

Wiring, electrical connections, and controls are inspected for any loose or damaged components. Proper electrical connections are essential for safe and reliable operation.

Technicians may inspect the ductwork for leaks or blockages that can affect airflow and heating efficiency. Addressing these issues can improve the distribution of warm air throughout your home.

Efficiency testing involves measuring the furnace’s performance to ensure it’s operating at its peak efficiency. If any issues are identified, adjustments may be made to improve efficiency.

If you have a CO detector in your home, technicians may test it to ensure it’s functioning properly and providing an additional layer of safety.

After the maintenance service is complete, our HVAC professionals may provide recommendations for repairs or upgrades that can improve the overall performance and longevity of your furnace.
