Have You Put Off Your Annual Furnace Service? Call Air-Tro Of Monrovia Now

If you’ve delayed annual furnace service, you must not understand its importance in helping to maintain a more reliable system with lower operating costs. We recommend scheduling professional service for your furnace every fall along with maintenance for your air conditioner every spring. Here’s a look at the service you can expect from an Air-Tro professional when you schedule annual furnace service.

Replace the filter: You should do this step on your own once a month during the heating season, but a technician will always change the filter during an annual furnace service if it appears dirty.
Clean and inspect the blower assembly: This includes cleaning lint and debris out of the blower housing, wheel and motor.
Lubricate moving parts: This keeps friction levels down and improves efficiency while reducing wear and tear.
Inspect the fan belt: The technician tightens the belt or replaces it if necessary.
Check for leaks: Gas leaks waste fuel and increase your bills.
Inspect the burner assembly: If needed, the technician cleans and adjusts the burners to promote the best performance possible.
Run a safety control check: That way, you enjoy peace of mind knowing that all safety controls are functioning properly.
Check the ignition system: This ensures the furnace is starting up correctly.
Inspect the heat exchanger: A crack in the heat exchanger can introduce carbon monoxide to your indoor air, so a check here is vital to ensure your safety.
Inspect the flue system: Any signs of dislocated sections or corrosion may demand a replacement.
Check the control box: The technician ensures that all controls, wiring and connections are in order.
Inspect the ductwork: If the technician finds any problems, such as loose insulation or leaky ducts, they will remedy the problem during the annual furnace service.
Listen and smell for odd noises and odors: The technician runs your equipment and pays attention to anything abnormal during operation.
