Schedule a yearly inspection with a professional in the late spring or early fall.

Change the filter at least every three months.

Install a carbon monoxide monitor. This should be inspected by a professional during your annual tune-up.

Have a heating contractor inspect your furnace ducts to ensure they are sealed properly.

Check the blower for any obstructions. If needed, apply lubrication.

Inspect the inside of the unit’s chamber for defects that could include rust, holes, and separated seams.

Clean the burners with fresh water to remove dust and dirt.

Clean the sensor and pilot with a wire brush and emery cloth.

Check the “high limit” to prevent overheating.

Check the gas meter to monitor the rate of fuel usage.

Clean the area around the system to keep it free from debris.

Common Furnace Issues That Require Repairs

Our technicians can handle all problems with your furnace. Some of the most common issues they encounter in Franklin County are:

Short cycling: If your system runs for less than three minutes before turning off, it can indicate a malfunctioning heat exchanger or a broken thermostat.

Irregular flames: If the flames are uneven or lean toward the back of the system it can indicate a cracked heat exchanger, which can lead to serious problems. If you notice this, you should call a professional immediately.

Unusual sounds: If you hear rumbling, popping, or whistling coming from the unit it can indicate a number of issues that should be inspected by a professional.

Cracked heat exchanger: This can lead to a serious issue like a carbon monoxide leak. This should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible as it can cause serious health issues for your household.
