Fall Heating Tune-Ups That Catch Problems Before Winter

The best time to find a cracked heat exchanger, weak igniter or clogged burner is October — not a 15°F night in January. A one-hour tune-up prevents the majority of no-heat calls we run all winter.

21-point precision inspection

Every heating tune-up follows the same written checklist and includes combustion analysis and CO test. You get a copy of the report with everything measured and flagged.

Combustion Analysis

O₂, CO and stack temperature measured against manufacturer spec — safety plus efficiency.

Heat Exchanger Inspection

Visual and camera check for cracks or corrosion — a safety must for gas furnaces.

Burner Cleaning

Debris and corrosion removed from burner tubes so the flame lights clean and even.

Ignition Test

Hot-surface igniter resistance and flame signal microamps measured and logged.

Blower & Filter

Blower wheel cleaned, motor amps checked, filter replaced with a fresh 1-inch pleated.

Safety Controls

Rollout, limit and pressure switches verified. Boiler LWCO and relief valve tested.

Signs your heater needs attention now

These symptoms usually get worse — and more expensive — the longer you wait through winter.

Simple habits that add years to your system

Four things you can do between our annual visits.

01

Change the Filter Monthly

The #1 cause of no-heat calls is a clogged filter tripping the limit switch. Set a phone reminder for the first of every month.

02

Keep Vents Clear

Move furniture and rugs off supply and return vents. Blocked returns force the blower to work harder and can trip safety controls.

03

Check the CO Detector

Test your carbon monoxide alarm every fall. If it's older than 7 years, replace the whole unit — sensors expire.

04

Watch the Flame

A healthy gas flame is steady and blue. Yellow, flickering or hissing flames mean call us — that's incomplete combustion.
