Why Should I Maintain My Furnace?

If you wonder why you should care that your furnace gets the proper attention that it should;
ask yourself six questions:

1. Is Your Furnace Safe To Operate?

Health and Safety tips for maintaining your furnace.

Every Vincent's Heating & Plumbing Service Technician is a Certified Carbon Monoxide & Combustion Analyst
Your furnace has many components that can affect the health and safety of you and your loved ones. Having a complete check of your furnace will provide assurance that it is safe to operate.

Vincent’s Heating & Plumbing’s Combustion Optimization & Safety Inspection of your furnace includes a Health & Safety Analysis which checks the heat exchanger (carbon monoxide leaks and contaminated breathing air), checks the pilot safety (explosion risk), checks the high limit (fire risk) and a visual inspection for other hazards. In fact our Safety Inspection includes 10 separate safety checks of your system.

 

2. Is Your Furnace Burning More Gas Than It Should?

With the cost of natural gas skyrocketing, is important to have your furnace tuned up for maximum energy savings. This will keep you from unnecessarily paying more than you should.

Vincent’s Heating & Plumbing’s Combustion Optimization & Safety Inspection of your furnace includes a Performance Check-Up in which the thermostat is checked for accuracy, and the burners are adjusted for maximum efficiency.

Vincent's Heating & Plumbing DOES NOT use the useless 'eyeball the flame' method that other companies use. Instead, the combustion is optimized by measuring the exhaust gasses and making scientific adjustments. Last winter the average increase in efficiency by this method was 15%. This alone could pay for the entire maintenance visit at today's price of natural gas.

Energy Saving benefits of maintaining your furnace.
 

3. Is Your Furnace ‘Ready’ To Breakdown?

Prevent Failures when you maintain your furnace.

Having a furnace breakdown in freezing weather is expensive and inconvenient. You can help avoid this when potential problems are caught and fixed during a preventive furnace check.

Vincent’s Heating & Plumbing’s Combustion Optimization & Safety Inspection of your furnace includes a Predictive Analysis which checks motors for proper amp draw and signs of wear, checks the pilot proving and ignition systems for proper current and signs of wear, and checks other components for signs of wear. Faulty components can be replaced before a breakdown.

 
 

4. Did You Know That Neglecting a Furnace Can ‘Kill’ It?

(Even Newer Furnaces Less Than 5 Years Have Been Discovered Bad!)

Too many homeowners have been shocked to learn that their ‘new’ furnace has a cracked heat exchanger. In some cases it is due to poor furnace design but in many cases it’s from neglect.

Vincent’s Heating & Plumbing’s Combustion Optimization & Safety Inspection of your furnace includes a System Analysis which checks for debris on the burners, poor airflow, a dirty filter or blower with cleaning and adjusting of the above as needed. The Performance Check-Up (see 2. above) is also important to your furnace’s life expectancy.

Increase your Equipment Life by maintaining your furnace.
 

5. Now That You Know What It Takes to Give Your Furnace the ‘Care’ it Needs,
Shouldn’t You Have Vincent’s Take Care of Your Furnace?

The Benefits you get with proper furnace maintenance.

A thorough maintenance check will take 1-1/2 to 2 hours of time to accomplish all of the above. Unlike ‘cheap’ advertised ‘Fall Furnace Specials’ or ‘Clean & Checks’ that take 30 – 45 minutes, Vincent’s Combustion Optimization & Safety Inspection gives you the value that you expect.
