Annual
Inspections Can Eliminate a Chilling Experience ..
A
heating system that breaks down in the middle of a cold winter
night can be a chilling experience.
That's
why heating experts recommend that you have your system
inspected and serviced by a qualified heating contractor,
Corley Controls, prior to the beginning of each heating
season, regardless of what type of fuel you use.
While
every inspection will vary somewhat, the following list of
procedures will ensure the safe and efficient operation of
your gas furnace all season long:
Check
Thermostat Calibration
An
improperly calibrated thermostat will call for more or less
heat than desired. The former will cost you money, both will
cost you comfort.
Check
Air Filter
A
dirty air filter can reduce heating efficiency, increase
energy usage and affect the reliability of the equipment.
Following the inspection, homeowners should clean or replace
the filter monthly during the heating season.
Check
Blower
A
clean, properly adjusted blower and blower components are
necessary to provide the air flow that ensures proper capacity
and maximum efficiency.
Check
Burners
To
ensure smooth ignition and proper fuel combustion, burners are
observed for proper burning characteristics.
Check
Heat Exchangers
This
inspection for cracks and corrosion helps ensure safe
operation of the furnace.
Check
Fan Control
This
ensures that the fan goes on and off at predetermined
temperatures in order to deliver the proper temperature of air
to the house.
Check
High Limit Control
This
is the furnace's principal means of preventing overheating and
possible damage to the unit.
Check
Manifold Gas Pressure
Proper
pressure is required to control fuel input to the furnace
burners.
Check
Venting System
All
flue connections and elbows should be firmly fitted. There
should be no cracks or openings where the flue enters the
chimney or side wall. There should be no obstructions in the
flue or the chimney to prevent the exit of combustion
byproducts.
Corley
Controls offers preventive maintenance agreements that cover
periodic inspections and, if needed, repairs. According to
heating experts, the cost of such a service is usually well
worth the investment, especially in terms of peace of mind.
