Fall Must Be Here!

Sunday brought the official beginning of fall around mid-day.  This morning with the temperature in the mid-sixties it sure felt like fall in the Phoenix Metro area.  Over the next few days the National Weather service forecasts days running well below our average daytime highs and very comfortable night time lows.

Most heating systems here in the Valley of the Sun are powered by either natural gas or electric and our part of your HVAC system.  Some folks refer to it as your central heating and cooling system.

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 set the temperature on your thermostat and forget about it.  That is not the best idea.

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.  Just like your ac unit you need maintenance to keep your heating system running at peak efficiency to save you money.  A well maintained system should also last longer.

Your 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 pulley shafts 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.
