1. Get Ready for Your Furnace Inspection
Furnace manufacturers are recommending that you
have an annual inspection of your furnace performed
by one of their qualified technicians. If you were to
take a moment and look at the information contained
in the warranty for your furnace, you will notice that
they don’t cover any damage directly resulting from
improperly maintaining your unit. Even though it
might not be required or cause the warranty to get
voided, an inspection is still recommended to ensure
your system is continually operating at peak capacity.
Just because something isn’t required, that doesn’t mean you should do
anything with it. For those with a newer furnace, you might only need to get
your unit inspected once bi-annually. When your furnace is more than 10
years old, you need to start having it inspected every year.
Ventilation systems need to be examined for potential leakages and
blockages in the system. Combustion gases have to be analyzed and
compared to ensure they are up to par in terms of unit specifications as
outlined by the manufacturer. Blower access doors have to be examined to
ensure they are sealed tightly at the furnace. Beyond going through and
checking the ventilation system, you also have to inspect the air intake
louvers and grills to ensure there aren’t any blockages in those areas either.
Heat exchangers need to be evaluated for rust and corrosion. Burners have
to be examined for a burner flame, flame sense and proper ignition.
Drainage systems have to be checked for potential leakage and blockage,
which includes all of the different hoses running on the inside of the furnace.
Condensation drains and traps require a thorough cleaning and replacement
of the water inside of the trap.
Check for debris along the blower wheel and have it cleaned if needed. The
entire wheel needs to be removed for you to perform this process. Wiring
needs to be examined for any potential corrosion and damage to ensure you
are properly taken care of.
