Fall Furnace Tune-Up
Fall Guide for Bay Area Homeowners
Fall in the Bay Area means transitioning from cooling to heating. Before the first chilly night, ensure your furnace is ready for safe, efficient operation. A professional tune-up now prevents winter breakdowns.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
A fall furnace tune-up includes cleaning, safety inspection, and performance testing. Technicians catch potential problems before they strand you in the cold.
Inspect Heat Exchanger
A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide - a serious safety hazard. Professional inspection is essential, especially for older furnaces.
Clean and Adjust Burners
Dirty or misaligned burners reduce efficiency and can create safety issues. Professional cleaning ensures proper combustion and flame pattern.
Test Safety Controls
Your furnace has multiple safety systems. Technicians verify flame sensors, limit switches, and rollout switches are functioning properly.
Check Gas Connections
Gas leaks are dangerous. Technicians inspect connections and test for leaks using specialized equipment.
Verify Thermostat Operation
Test heat mode operation. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat if you haven't already.
