Furnace Maintenance in Bucks and Montgomery County, PA

It might surprise you that a regular furnace tune-up is necessary to keep your heating system in good shape and you in comfort. When you ignore these tune-ups, problems can quickly escalate, leading to an expensive furnace repair job.

Before that happens, contact Patriot Heating & Air Conditioning for regular gas and oil furnace maintenance. We recommend a furnace tune-up before the cold season starts to ensure your heating system gives you the best service possible.

Checklist for a Furnace Tune-Up

Before the winter starts, call us for a furnace system inspection. If our inspection doesn’t reveal any serious issues, we will go through a comprehensive tune-up, which includes:

• Lubrication of all moving parts, including the bearings.
• Checking fan belt tension.
• Inspecting and fixing electrical connections.
• Checking voltage and current.
• Test heat exchanger and exhaust system.
• Clean the burner.
• Check and fix the gas pressure and ignition.
• Test all oil or gas lines and ensure system controls are working correctly.
• Check and clear the condensate drain.
• Change the air filter.
• Check that the thermostat is working correctly.
• Test for monoxide levels.
• Clean the furnace inside and out.

Our residential furnace service covers tune-ups and maintenance for oil and gas furnaces. Besides wear and tear that often leads to a furnace replacement at some point, some signs tell you when maintenance is overdue.

Call us for furnace maintenance at least once a year to help reduce the risk of the following occurrences:

• Suspicious odors emanating from the furnace
• Issues when trying to switch on the furnace
• Inadequate cooling or heating
• Strange sounds

Are Regular Furnace Maintenance Services Necessary?

Regular home furnace maintenance services are necessary for many reasons. One is to keep the unit within the warranty requirements. Avoiding maintenance can void the warranty, meaning you will have to pay the total price of a new furnace if it cannot be repaired.

Additionally, wear and tear causes problems over time. If you don’t do an in-depth, annual furnace inspection, you could miss developing issues that can result in unnecessary and costlier repairs. In the meantime, escalating power bills and reduced heating and cooling negatively impact your overall quality of life. Plus, the system will not last as long as it should if you avoid oil or gas furnace maintenance.

However, the opposite is true if you keep up with furnace maintenance. Instead, you reap short- and long-term benefits by following a proper maintenance schedule.

Furnace Maintenance Benefits

Customers can look forward to the following benefits from this tune-up:

• Improved system safety, efficiency, and performance.
• Heating bill savings.
• Increased longevity of the furnace.
• Improved indoor air quality and comfort.
• Reduces the risk of breakdowns and high repair or replacement costs.
