Furnace Tune-up Pros in Queen Creek
Knowing what’s involved in a tune-up can help you prepare for your appointment. Electric and gas models both require regular maintenance; however, electric systems have fewer parts and are easier to maintain. Whether gas or electric, we start by checking the thermostat’s function. Proper communication between the thermostat and furnace helps ensure your home stays at a comfortable temperature. Thermostat calibration ensures the temperature sensor works properly for effective furnace heating.
We must thoroughly inspect and test your furnace’s combustion system for signs of gas or carbon monoxide leaks. We inspect the ignitor, burner, and heat exchanger. Our technicians also check for gas leaks in the lines and ensure proper gas pressure. Proper lubrication of your furnace’s moving parts, such as the blower motor, reduces friction damage. Our technicians will lubricate specific parts of your system to help minimize needless wear and tear.
Our Queen Creek HVAC technicians will also check the electrical system, looking for signs of wiring damage. Damaged wiring can lead to electrical shocks and fire risks. Over time, the electrical connections can start to loosen and may require tightening during a furnace maintenance appointment. Maintenance involves cleaning some parts, including the burner and blower assembly. Regular cleanings help your furnace operate more efficiently. The blower motor is susceptible to dust and grime buildup, which can cause system overheating without regular cleanings. A cracked heat exchanger is more likely to occur due to overheating and can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks in your home.
