For professional furnace maintenance, trust Arce Heating & AC in Pineville, NC. Many homeowners ignore maintenance, waiting until something breaks to call for HVAC help.

Regular maintenance helps prevent common furnace problems, boosts system efficiency, reduces running costs, and lengthens the lifespan of your furnace.

Professional Home Furnace Maintenance

Scheduling annual furnace maintenance is essential because most warranties require it. After completing a tune-up, we provide customers with documentation as proof for any future claims. Without this documentation, the manufacturer may deny the claim and make you pay out of pocket for parts that would have been covered.

There are many excellent reasons to schedule annual heating maintenance:

Reduced heating costs

Valid warranty coverage

Better indoor air quality

Smaller carbon footprint

Safer and quieter operation

Safety is a significant concern for many homeowners with fuel-fired furnaces that burn natural gas or liquid propane. The combustion of these fuels produces carbon monoxide (CO) and other toxic gases. When a heater operates correctly, these gases vent outside the home. However, any malfunction can cause them to mix with indoor air, leading to CO poisoning.

During a tune-up, one of our technicians conducts a multipoint inspection tailored to the specific model and brand. To improve air quality and ensure your furnace runs smoothly, our technicians clean all equipment, especially the combustion components, which can accumulate carbon deposits over time. It’s essential that the ventilation system operates well to avoid toxic fumes.

Additionally, our technicians must eliminate backdraft scenarios, where another ventilation system pushes gases back inside the home. Modern furnaces typically feature sealed combustion chambers, so it is vital to ensure these seals remain intact. Moreover, our technicians must check for cracks in the heat exchanger, as these can allow dangerous gases to enter your living space.

The blower in the furnace requires lubrication and may need balancing and other maintenance. Additional requirements may arise based on the system type. For example, variable-speed air handlers need testing and calibration. If the system is zoned, air balancing is essential to ensure proper airflow distribution.

Our technicians also inspect and clean the condensate drainage system if it applies. High-efficiency furnaces produce condensation that necessitates a drip pan, wet switch, and drain line. Issues with these components can prevent the furnace from running or potentially cause water damage.

Finally, our technicians look at the thermostat during the tune-up. All thermostats need cleaning and might require calibration, as inaccurate readings can lead to irregular cycling. Many homeowners now use programmable and smart thermostats for energy efficiency, which often need additional services, such as firmware and software updates.
