Fenton Heating Maintenance

Keeping Fenton Warm for Over 25 Years

Did You Know? Your heating system can lose anywhere from 5% to 30% of its efficiency each year if not properly maintained. Make sure your system is running at top performance, and make your money go further. Make heating maintenance a part of your annual schedule, and the team at Martin-Jetco Heating & Air Conditioning can help.

Whether your heating system runs on gas, oil, or another fuel, it can accumulate dust, dirt, and grime during normal operation. Your system’s air filter is designed to trap some of these particles before it gets into the system. However, over time, these particles can build up, which can prevent efficient circulation of fuel and air in the system. This buildup can decrease equipment efficiency as well, so you might have to utilize more gas or oil to reach and maintain the temperature you desire.

What's Included in a Typical Heating Tune-Up?

It is always helpful to know what you should expect with an HVAC 21-point inspection and tune-up. While there may be slight differences in what each company includes in a heating check, it is generally a good idea to look for the essential elements in any 21-point heater, or HVAC maintenance check.

Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind about a typical heating system tune-up:

• Inspecting the Heat Exchanger: Heat exchangers are often overlooked, but they can pose a serious threat to the safety of your family. An inspection for cracks or separations always ensures your family is safe.
• Inspection of the Flue Pipe: The technician will carefully inspect your flue pipe for any cracks, damage, or clamp leaks. There should be no signs of corrosion on any pipe.
• Checking Calibration of Thermostat: The technician checks, calibrates, and corrects the thermostat if it has any issues, ensuring that it sends the proper commands to the heating system.
• Checking Drain Lines: Heating your home can take a toll on your drain pipes. A regular heating repair and maintenance check is perfect for making sure that your drain lines are clear and working correctly.
• Checking for the Correct Gas Pressure: Checking the gas pressure is essential to ensure the entire unit is working optimally.
• Inspecting Air Flow & Air Filter and Cleaning: Checking the air filter and cleaning if necessary.
• Cleaning Pilot Assembly: The cleaning of the pilot assembly on a heating system is essential because this is where the flame for your heating system is generated and sustained.

Why Choose Professional Heating Maintenance?

The whole reason that you’re having a tune-up in the first place is to save money. So why pay professionals when you can just pay a neighbor or, better yet, just do it yourself? First off, paying the pros is a much safer option for getting an all-around better tune-up. However, we wanted to list a couple of big ways that we can actually save you a substantial amount of money.

Signs You Need to Call In the Pros for Heating Maintenance

Being able to tell when you have a need is only half the battle. The other important aspect is knowing when to ask the pros for furnace service.

Heating & Furnace Systems Need Service If:

• If any areas of your home have air that is too cool or dusty
• If weird smells are coming from your heating vents or furnace
• It has had a unit that has not been serviced in over 1 year
• If it goes beyond 2 years without a full service inspection of the heat exchanger, flame sensor and burners cleaned
• If it has been more than 5 years with-out extensive maintenance done to the electrical system, gas pressure checked and cleaning of the refrigeration coil.

While there are some easy warning signs that you can catch with heating systems, the issue with many issues is that you can’t see them. This means that you need to be having professionals come and inspect your systems with expert eyes to catch any of the troubles early on.
