Q -A cracked furnace heat exchanger is dangerous. How often should I have it checked?

A - If your furnace is over 2 years old, it should be inspected by qualified technicians every fall before the heating season begins. Any other time the furnace is not operating properly (ex. the pilot blows out) it should be checked too.

Q - Why should I have routine maintenance done on my systems?

A - To maintain any warranty agreements, to keep them running efficiently, and to extend their life expectancy. Example: You service your car every 3 months or 3,000 miles to be sure it has clean parts and plenty of oil. This prevents some mechanical problems and helps your engine last longer. The same basically applies to keeping your system’s motors and coils clean and in good condition.

Q - What should I do to maintain my heating and cooling equipment?

A - You should have a service check up for your air conditioner in the spring before the warm weather arrives and for your gas furnace in the fall before the cool weather arrives. Heat pumps should be checked twice a year and can be done any month. Maintaining your system will lead to lower energy bills and a longer life for your equipment.
