When Is It Time For A Heating System Tune-up?

Yes, I know that while it is officially fall here in Arizona the temperature was 106° yesterday.  It may seem a bit out-of-place to start talking about your heating system.  It will be time soon, so why not start the dialog today.

Most heating systems here in the Valley of the Sun are powered by either natural gas or electric as part of your air conditioner.

If your heat comes from your air conditioner it isn’t true that if your air conditioner is running right that that means the “heating” side of your heat pump is also ready to go.  It is not just a matter of sliding the switch from “cool” to “heat” and forget about it.

If you have a separate furnace then you want to make sure it is checked before you start the gas flowing and start up the gas burners.

A heating system check-up now will ensure that the heat will click on when you want it to.

Furnace Check-up
A furnace check-up or tune-up is much like a visit to the doctor or taking your car to a mechanic. However, specifically in the case of your home, a furnace check-up consists of the following steps:

Inspect thermostat for proper operation.

Inspect filter and change or clean as needed.

Check all electrical components and controls.

Lubricate motors and pulleys as needed.

Inspect heat exchanger for possible cracks. A crack in the heat exchanger will introduce carbon monoxide into the living space.

Check air flow. If diminished, it may be necessary to clean the evaporator coil.

Check air fuel mixture, where appropriate.
