What is a Furnace Inspection? What Does a Furnace Inspection Consist Of?
An annual furnace inspection examines your heating system from the inside out to ensure it is operating within the manufacturer specifications. Furnaces are expected to perform at their best 24/7 to provide safe home heating to you and your family. In colder states with longer winters (like Colorado), our furnaces are put to the rest with heavy duty use for months at a time. This level of use causes natural wear and tear on the components, making it necessary to perform periodic checkups in the form of furnace safety inspections. Here are several of the steps that Flow Right technicians take to complete a furnace inspection:
- Checking age and condition of the system
- Testing for CO and combustible leaks
- Testing all electrical at unit
- Pulling amp draws on motors
- Checking cleanliness of system (burners, blower wheel, burner chamber, cabinet and filter)
- Testing gas pressures and adjusting properly if needed
- Testing temperature rise when the system is operating
- Adjusting blower speeds if needed
All testing of your HVAC system will be compared to the manufacturing data tag for specifications. Any recommendations for repairs, cleaning or replacements will be provided at the end of the inspection. If you have any questions, give us a call. One of our friendly team members will be happy to go over your options with you.
There are several key reasons that annual furnace inspections are helpful for homeowners.
- Safety: Most furnaces are powered by natural gas or propane. This increases your risk of fire, as well as a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Annual inspections ensure the integrity of your furnace as a fuel-burning piece of equipment remains intact. An HVAC technician will tell you if your furnace has potential issues that could lead to a fire or gas leak. They can also offer valuable peace of mind by letting you know your family will be safe for another year.
- Clean Air: Dirt and dust are in every home, but our furnaces are extremely efficient about pushing those particles into the air we breathe (unless you have a whole-home air filter attached). Your technician will check your filter and components for build-up and discuss options for air purification technology if you find that dust and contaminants are an ongoing problem.
- Save Money: A furnace that runs poorly is expensive! Our monthly energy bills are costly enough without borrowing trouble by neglecting the equipment that powers it. A damaged furnace runs harder to compensate, whether it’s desperately trying to power through a dirty filter or limping along with broken or damaged components. Annual inspections minimize the impact of these issues by bringing them to your attention and providing an opportunity to resolve them. Let’s also not forget how expensive it can be to replace a furnace if your existing one permanently breaks because of an easy-to-catch problem.
