Fall is officially here, and with it comes the
cooler weather. We’re already experiencing a nice cool-down in the Valley of
the Sun, and before we even know it, it’ll be winter and (somewhat) cold in
Arizona!
With the holiday season approaching, there are going
to be days where you’ll want to warm your home up, but before you do, it’s
important to make sure your furnace is in good working order. In fact,
manufactures actually recommend a yearly inspection and maintenance by a
qualified technician.
That’s where
we come in.
The
furnace professionals at Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating will perform a
complete diagnostic of your furnace to ensure that all problems are properly
addresses. Most furnaces are gas fired, but there are some electric ones, and
we’re prepared to check either one you may have in your home.
A lot of homeowners are unaware that a yearly
inspection is recommended, and many who do think it’s unnecessary, which isn’t
the case. While you
may not think your furnace needs an annual inspection, a
quick trip to your home by a professional can reveal issues with your furnace
that you may not be able to detect.
Here is a checklist of potential
problems that we look for:
- Look for Any Gas Leaks
- Inspect Motors and Capacitors
- Check Pilot Light
- Inspect Furnace Filters
- Analyze Thermostat for Proper Operation
- Inspection of Heating Anticipator
- Check for Carbon Monoxide
- Ensure Proper Sequence of Operation
- Retest the Flame Sensors
- Check for Proper Flue Venting
- Ensure Adequate Make-Up Air
We know that keeping you and your family safe is of
the highest priority, so don’t skip your annual inspection. We suggest the end
of summer, before it gets too cool, as the best time to schedule your
appointment. Trust us, you don’t want to wait until your furnace breaks in the middle
of the winter to find out something is wrong. Bonus: If you do it around the
same time every year, you won’t forget!
