How to Prevent Furnace Repair Problems

If you have a pack of bandages and first aid equipment handy in case something goes wrong with your furnace, now there’s a better way to deal with the sudden loss of heat. And that’s to prevent any such problems in the first place.

The best way to do that? With a furnace cleaning and inspection from Service Pros Inc., a service we provide for home owners throughout the Greater Memphis and Jackson areas.

Here are just some of the steps include in our cleaning and inspection:

  • heating memphisCheck thermostat settings to ensure your furnace keeps you comfortable without wasting fuel and energy.
  • Clean or replace your filter as needed.
  • Tighten all electrical connections and measure voltage and current on motors. Faulty electrical connections can shut your system down and, worse yet, lead to an electrical fire.
  • Lubricate all moving parts. That lessens the amount of friction between parts and helps keep your electricity bill in line.
  • Inspect heat exchanger for cracks or wear and tear. A crack or leak in your heat exchanger can send dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas into your home.
  • Check system controls to ensure efficient and safe operation.
  • Check your flue pipe for corrosion. A properly working flue pipe vents carbon monoxide outside to help keep your family safe from harm.
  • Start and test your furnace to ensure it’s working properly.
