All heating and cooling systems should be serviced every year by a heating and cooling professional.
For furnaces, your service technician should:
- Check for leaks, soot, rust, corroded electrical contacts and frayed wires.
- Perform any necessary cleaning, including the burner and heat exchanger.
- Inspect the venting system and verify that it is operating properly.
For heat pumps and air conditioners, your technician should:
- Inspect all electrical connections.
- Check the operation of the compressor and outdoor fan motor.
- Inspect the indoor evaporator coil for cleanliness and clean if necessary.
- Inspect the furnace or air handler blower assembly for proper operation and cleanliness.
