Furnace Tune-Ups in Charlottesville, VA

The checklist runs from combustion through airflow, with safety testing throughout:

• The burner assembly is cleaned and adjusted, and the ignition assembly is cleaned.
• Our technician examines the heat exchanger, the barrier between combustion gases and your home’s air.
• Dangerous gas leaks are checked for, and gas pressure is adjusted.
• Pilot operation is inspected and adjusted as necessary.
• Flue draft is monitored so exhaust leaves the house as designed.
• Starting capabilities and safety controls get tested.
• Standard air filters are cleaned or replaced, blower components are inspected and cleaned, and airflow is checked for correctness.
• Electrical connections are tightened, volts and amps are measured, all moving parts are lubricated, and the thermostat’s calibration is checked.
• On heat pump systems, refrigerant pressure is monitored and the temperature difference is measured; indoor air quality is checked, and complete heating cycles are monitored before the visit ends.

Igniters, pilots, and safety controls wear with every start, and a weak one is far easier to deal with in the fall than during a cold snap. The fall visit tests each of them.

The safety sequence anchors the visit: heat exchanger examination, gas leak check, gas pressure adjustment, and flue draft monitoring together verify that combustion stays complete and contained. Those checks protect the household, and that is why they come first. Staying on a regular service schedule helps keep your manufacturer’s warranty in good standing.
