Why Furnace Checks?
You probably own a lot of things that require some tweaking and cleaning once in a while. Your car needs an oil change. Your body needs a physical check up. So, too, your furnace needs maintenance every year or so.
Regular furnace maintenance can increase the life of your system. Furnaces have a lifespan of somewhere between 15 and 30 years. Regular maintenance means that your system will run better and live longer. Get the most out of it!
Just imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a freezing cold house. Or planning a football weekend, only to realize the furnace is ‘having issues.’
“If the furnace has problems, it will happen at the most inconvenient time.” - Murphy’s Law
What happens at a Furnace Check?
At a Furnace Check, your technician carefully goes over all of the critical (and not so critical) elements of your furnace. We start with a checklist, so we don’t miss a thing.
You’ll see, too, that we check some things for safety. These things might be the gas lines and components. We also check to ensure that your chimney is clear.
This gives your furnace equipment extra life because it will not only keep your equipment cleaner, but it will also find those little repairs that can lead to BIG expense if they’re ignored. Here’s our checklist!
Check for Corrosion
Check Condensate Hoses for Leaks
Heat Exchanger / Check for Cracks

Vent Pipe Clear
Chimneys Clear
Any Other Notes

Does this mean my football weekend is safe from furnace problems?
