Furnace Maintenance:
Keeping Your Home and Business Warm and Efficient

Furnace Maintenance

Once upon a chilly winter, a homeowner discovered that her furnace was not heating as effectively as it used to. Despite regular use, the furnace seemed to struggle to keep the house warm. Concerned about the dipping temperatures and her rising energy bills, she called Fry HVAC, known for their expertise in residential and commercial HVAC systems. The technicians from Fry HVAC quickly identified that the issue was due to inadequate maintenance – a common challenge that many homeowners and business owners face. This story underscores the critical importance of regular furnace maintenance, not only for comfort but also for efficiency and safety.

The Importance of Furnace Maintenance

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential in both residential and commercial buildings. The global HVAC market is growing rapidly, driven by an increasing demand for energy-efficient systems and changing weather patterns. The U.S. market alone is significant, with consumers spending over $10 billion annually on HVAC repair and maintenance services.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Heating systems are generally reliable and easy to maintain. However, problems can arise from the heat/cold source, distribution system, or thermostat. For instance, if a furnace or air conditioner fails to run, the issue is often at the source, such as a power loss or fuel supply issue. Conversely, if the system turns on but fails to heat or cool the rooms effectively, the blower or distribution system might be at fault. A malfunctioning thermostat can also lead to frequent on-and-off cycling of the system.

Preliminary Steps for Maintenance

Before you begin maintenance, ensure the unit is receiving power and check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. If the unit has a reset button, use it after allowing the motor to cool. Make sure the thermostat is set correctly, and if the unit uses gas or oil, ensure the supply is turned on and the pilot light is lit.

Safety Precautions

Safety is paramount when dealing with heating and cooling systems. Always turn off all power to the system before starting any work. If you smell gas, do not attempt to shut off the gas or use any electrical switches; instead, leave the house immediately and call for professional help. It’s recommended to have heating and cooling systems professionally serviced once a year, ideally at the end of the heating season.
