Furnace Tune-Up in Mountlake Terrace, WA
When the temperatures drop at the end of the year in Mountlake Terrace, WA, it’s nice to turn on the furnace and be toasty warm. Keeping your furnace tuned-up can ensure it works properly when you need it.
The professionals at CM Heating can give your furnace a tune-up, which not only keeps it running longer and more efficiently, it can help you avoid costly repair bills. A tune-up can help catch potential problems and minor repair issues before they become bigger problems.
Not only might it void the warranty on your furnace, but it can also be dangerous to try and service your furnace if you have no professional HVAC experience. Our experienced technicians can safely and knowledgeably conduct a gas or electric furnace tune-up to help your furnace run better longer.
What Happens During a Furnace Tune-Up?
Furnace tune-ups can vary from unit to unit, depending on the make, manufacturer, year of manufacturer, and condition. However, in general, we inspect your furnace to ensure it works as it should and all the parts are in good working order. In a tune-up, we carefully check the following elements in your furnace:
Safety controls
Combustion system
Controls and safeties
Fan switch
Panels
Flue pipe
Thermostat
Pilot and assembly
Wiring
Gas line (for a gas furnace tune-up)
All tune-ups include inspecting for rust and visible damage. Also, as part of your heater tune-up, we’ll replace your furnace’s air filters.
Air Filters
Air filters are a very important part of your furnace. Clogged air filters make your system less efficient because it has to work harder to distribute the heat. Also, dirty filters can allow mold, dust, and other undesirable particulates to circulate through your Mountlake Terrace, WA, home.
Why Is a Furnace Tune-Up Important?
Your furnace is off and sitting idle during the warm months, which means it may accumulate dust, especially without regular tune-ups. If your furnace is dirty, its parts may begin to wear down. As a result, it will need more energy to push heating to the living spaces of your home, which causes more wear and tear. That becomes a vicious cycle as the furnace uses more power and works harder to heat your home.
Also, a furnace tune-up can be a safety issue. If your furnace’s heat exchanger is cracked or damaged, your furnace could leak carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorous deadly gas. A furnace tune-up will check to ensure the heat exchanger and other parts are working well and safely.
If your furnace is making strange noises, it is a sure sign you need a tune-up at least. Popping noises could indicate a dirty burner, which is an issue you should address immediately.
Furnace Tune-Up Benefits
Mountlake Terrace, WA, residents sometimes ask us, if my furnace is running fine, why should I have a tune-up? As is the case with getting your car a tune-up, there are many benefits to having a furnace tune-up.
Home Comfort
If your furnace isn’t running the way it should, your home can feel stuffy or sticky. You may notice excess dust. Also, your home may not heat the way it should, which means you could be left cold in the chilly Mountlake Terrace, WA, winters.
Increase Energy Efficiency
A furnace tune-up can increase your furnace’s efficiency by up to 30%. If your heating system is running more efficiently, the associated energy costs will be less over time.
Longer Lasting Furnace
Regular tune-ups on your furnace can help it run longer. A well-maintained furnace doesn’t have to work as hard, so it doesn’t wear out as quickly.
Active Warranty
Some furnace manufacturers require that the furnace receive regular maintenance from certified professionals like CM Heating to keep the warranty active. An active warranty can save you money if your furnace ever does break down.
Save on Repairs
Significant furnace repairs can result in a hefty repair bill; however, regular tune-ups can allow us to identify potential issues and fix them before they become serious. An emergency repair bill is expensive. More importantly, no one wants to be without heat when it is cold.
