Why You Need a Furnace Inspection Right Away!

Erin M • September 27, 2018

When was the last time you had your heating and cooling system inspected?

 

Smart homeowners schedule HVAC checkups in the fall before it's time to run the furnace and in the spring before turning on the AC to cool. Failure to have your HVAC system inspected annually can put your health and comfort at risk. There are many reasons to call Adam’s Air for a preventative maintenance check in the fall and spring.

 

Listed below are four of them:

 

1. Check For Carbon Monoxide in Your Home. Carbon monoxide is a gas produced by burning any type of fuel gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or charcoal. What makes this gas so dangerous is that when you breathe it, it replaces the oxygen in your blood. Without oxygen, cells throughout the body die, and the organs stop working.

 

You can't see, smell, or taste carbon monoxide. But if you breathe too much of it, it can become deadly within minutes. Fuel-burning heating systems used during cold weather, when doors and windows are closed, can trap carbon monoxide inside. An inspection of your system will detect this deadly gas in your living space.

 

2. Increase The Life Span Of Your Equipment. A professional inspection of your equipment includes removing blockages, replacing filters, cleaning evaporator coils, and lubricating moving parts. This will prolong the life of your HVAC system. A preventive maintenance check can remedy the small issues before they become big problems.

 

3. Increase energy efficiency. A yearly check-up and service call will help your system operate at peak performance. Neglected systems use more energy and cost more to run. Reduced fuel efficiency can be caused by dirty evaporator or condenser coils, the wrong gas pressure, a dirty burner, dirty belts and motors, and dirty air filters. (Your annual services should include a thorough cleaning of all of these.)

 

Also, Adam’s Air-certified techs can help you easily upgrade your system's efficiency. They can provide a wide variety of thermostats that let you customize your home and save money on your energy bills. Did you know a programmable thermostat can provide savings of 10-30%?

 

4. Less Noise When Your System is Operating. When it comes to your HVAC system, you don’t want to have a noisy unit. Loud noises coming from your furnace while it is running could be caused by any of several issues. There may be a problem with the one that blows hot air through your vents. If your furnace is making a loud noise just as it starts, this could be caused by a serious problem called“delayed ignition.” Rattling or noise from the motor can all be addressed during an annual inspection.

 

It's important to perform an annual furnace inspection to ensure it is safe and performing at its maximum level. Good preventive service keeps your equipment running at peak performance and reduces costly breakdowns. Right now at Adam’s Air, we’re offering a $79 furnace tune-up!

Furnace tune-ups are essential maintenance procedures designed to ensure that heating systems operate efficiently and safely. During a tune-up, a qualified technician typically performs a thorough inspection of the furnace, checking for any signs of wear or potential issues. This includes cleaning and adjusting burners, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, and ensuring that all safety controls are functioning correctly.  Regular tune-ups not only enhance the efficiency of the furnace, leading to lower energy bills, but also extend the lifespan of the unit and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs down the line.

Properly programming your AC and furnace settings can drastically improve your home's energy efficiency and comfort levels. Start by setting a consistent schedule to match your daily routine. For instance, during the summer, set your AC to a higher temperature when you are away from home and lower it when you are typically there.  Conversely, in the winter, lower the furnace settings when the house is empty and raise them when you are back. Utilizing programmable thermostats or smart home devices can automate this process, making it more convenient and reducing the chance of human error. Additionally, it's essential to perform regular maintenance, such as changing filters and checking for leaks, to ensure your HVAC system operates at peak performance.
