Heating Maintenance

Furnace maintenance is a preventive heating service that involves a thorough inspection and tune-up of your system. Given that most people only call for HVAC service when something goes wrong, you may be wondering, “Do I really need furnace maintenance service?”

Yes—you really do need furnace maintenance if you want to save money, stay comfortable, and enjoy some other benefits. To explain why this is the case, here are some helpful answers to common questions about furnace maintenance service. 

What’s Included in Furnace Maintenance?

Furnace tune-ups involving checking all of the system’s essential components and adjusting, cleaning, testing, and/or lubricating them, as needed. Some of the specific tasks involved in our furnace maintenance checklist include:

  • Inspecting the vent system and air intake grilles, removing any blockages

  • Checking the heat exchanger for signs of damage or corrosion

  • Examining and basic cleaning of the blower motor, removing any debris

  • Checking the blower motor and testing its amp draw

  • Inspecting the electrical connections, tightening them and/or replacing damaged wiring as needed

  • Checking the burner and flame sensor

  • Examining the belts for any signs of damage or cracks

  • Inspecting the thermostat and calibrating it as needed

  • Lubricating all moving parts in the heating system

  • Checking the air filter, cleaning it, and replacing it as needed

  • Checking and testing the system’s safety controls and startup cycle

  • Inspecting and checking start capacitor

  • Checking and setting proper gas pressures. 

At Delightful Duck Cooling And Heating, we recommend getting furnace tune-ups:

  • At least once a year: Annual furnace maintenance can keep your system running efficiently. If you’re serious about maintaining optimal indoor air quality—or if anyone in your home has respiratory issues or a compromised immune system―it’s generally best to get change your filter more frequently, like two to four times per year.

  • Before the cold season: The ideal time for furnace maintenance service is before you’ll be running your system on a daily basis when the temperatures drop. In Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties the best time for a furnace tune-up is usually during the end of summer and the beginning of fall. By getting a furnace tune-up before winter sets in, you can make sure your system is ready to support your comfort needs during the entire cold season to come!

Regular furnace tune-ups offer several advantages, including:

  • Saving money: Furnace maintenance keeps your heating system running as efficiently as possible. That can mean monthly savings in energy bills. Over time, this savings can cover the cost of regular furnace tune-ups!

  • Maintaining the warranty: Many furnace warranties include terms that require regular maintenance. If yours does, getting routine tune-ups is key to keeping your warranty valid and ensuring you have the coverage you need if anything does go wrong during the warranty period.

  • Minimizing the risk of unexpected breakdowns: With regular furnace maintenance, minor issues can be identified and addressed before they become more serious problems. That means fewer system failures, a reduced need for heating repairs, and minimal chances that you’ll be left without heat during the cold season.

  • Maximizing the service life of a furnace: A well-maintained furnace can last for well over a decade, letting you get the most out of your investment.
