Safety controls are essential for proper protection of the unit and your family and will be adjusted to factory specification.

3. Monitor Furnace Cycle

Our trained Serviceman will assure that the heating system is cycling on and off properly and that controls are calibrated to factory specifications.

4. Adjust Gas Pressure

Proper gas pressure to the burners will ensure the most efficient and safe burner operation and reduces energy costs.

5. Clean Heat Exchanger and Burners

Dirty heat exchangers and burners reduce the heating efficiency and capacity of your furnace.

6. Thoroughly Check for Cracked Heat Exchanger

As your furnace gets older, there is a real danger of cracks developing in the heat exchanger. These cracks can allow dangerous products of combustion (including carbon monoxide) to enter the fresh air of your home and endanger your safety and the safety of your family. We will thoroughly inspect your heating system visually to determine if this hazard is evident.

Loose electrical connections are a common source of problems which cause your electrical parts to fail and your air conditioner to become inoperative.

13. Monitor Voltage and Amperage Draw on All Motors

Motors are designed to operate at standard voltage and amperage draw. By measuring amperage draw, problems can be identified before the unit fails

14. Clean and Adjust Thermostat

To ensure even temperature control for your home.
