Component Cleaning: Wipe down the motors and heating components. A thin layer of dirt, dust or debris can cause a motor to overheat or create a dead spot on the igniter. Removal of these dirt, dust and debris can prolong failures to the Furnace/AC. |

Clean Furnace: A clogged burner compartment can reduce heat output, and the furnace will have difficulty starting up. Vacuuming will clean out any stuck debris. |

Clean Condenser Coil: Your AC Condenser needs to breathe. A dirty coil can cause failure to the components or higher than normal utility bills. |

Check Filter: Regularly changing the furnace filter keeps your furnace from overheating, the AC from freezing up, blower motor damage and improves your indoor air quality. |

Test Safety Controls: Properly working safety controls protect you from fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Condenser safety controls can also prevent low/high refrigerant pressures that can damage the AC. |

Clean Flame Sensor: Your furnace has a flame sensor that turns the system on only when it confirms there’s a flame. After continued use, carbon can buildup on the sensor, and it will shut off your furnace. The cleaning will prevent these shutdowns. |

Inspect Electrical Connections: Loose connections on the Furnace/AC can cause the wiring to overheat, cause equipment failure or a fire. |

Inspect Exhaust or Flue Pipe: A blocked exhaust pipe will cause the furnace to shut down. A rusted or corroded flue pipe can allow for poisonous gases to enter the home. |

Clean Around the Furnace/AC: Keeping the area clean around the furnace prevents dirt, dust, and debris from entering the burner and/or blower section. |

Inspect and Clear Drains: Drain lines and Condensate pumps need to be clear of debris or else a water back up can occur. A high efficiency furnace will also need the drain hoses cleaned and cleared out. |

Test Igniter: The igniter will ignite the flame when the gas valve opens providing each burner with an adequate flame. Whether it’s a spark igniter or hot surface, both must be checked and maintained differently for proper operation. |

Clean Burners: Dirty or plugged furnace burners decrease the amount of heat provided to the home and allow the flames to evenly spread and provide the flame sensor with a signal to keep the burners on. |

Test Gas Pressure: A low gas pressure can decrease the furnace efficiency. Too high of a gas pressure can cause the furnace to overheat and lead to component failure. |

Cycle Furnace/AC: Observation of the furnace operation is crucial. If the furnace shuts off prematurely it will cause a decreased comfort level in the home. The run cycles will be shorter as well as the furnace on/off times between cycles causing furnace inefficiency |

Test Temperature Differential: Temperature differential is the difference between the Return and Supply Air. Testing your furnace’s temperature differential verifies that it’s within the normal heating capacity range. A higher or lower than normal temperature difference can cause you to spend more than you need to on your heating bills. Same applies to the Cooling season. A higher or lower temperature can cause the system to freeze up or keep the system running longer, which will lead to higher utility bills. A lower temperature difference will not be able to remove humidity from the home effectively. |

Test Voltage/Amp Draw to Blower: A voltage/amp check of the blower motor will allow the technician to rate energy consumption. A higher amp draw can increase a failure of the motor. |

Test Voltage/Amp Draw to Draft Motor: A voltage/amp draw check of the draft motor will make sure the ratings are in range and that the motor will not fail. |

Calibrate Thermostat: Checking to see if the thermostat is reading the correct temperature. A faulty thermostat can result in longer or shorter run times. |
