Comprehensive System Inspection

Your heating system works hard through the cold Ohio winters, and each component needs to be in top shape. We start your visit with a complete system inspection. This includes:

  • Heat Exchanger Check: We carefully check for cracks or corrosion that could lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.
  • Burner Assembly Assessment: Burners must be clean and properly adjusted for efficient combustion, so we inspect and optimize them.
  • Ignition System Evaluation: Whether you have an electronic igniter or a pilot light, we ensure a reliable startup every time your system calls for heat.

This first step gives us a clear picture of your system’s overall condition and helps catch issues early.

Airflow & Ventilation Optimization

Healthy airflow is the key to a comfortable home. Our team performs:

  • Filter Inspection & Replacement: A clean filter protects your system and improves indoor air quality. If needed, we replace your filter on the spot.
  • Blower Assembly Cleaning: Dust and buildup reduce airflow and efficiency. We clean and adjust the blower for smooth operation.
  • Ductwork Visual Check: While not a full duct inspection, we do look for obvious blockages, gaps, or damage that may affect performance.

Good airflow reduces strain on your heating equipment and prevents hot and cold spots throughout your home.

Mechanical & Electrical Component Tune-Up

Your system relies on precise mechanical and electrical coordination. During maintenance, we:

  • Tighten Electrical Connections: Loose wiring can lead to shorts, motor issues, or system failure.
  • Test Safety Controls: These components ensure your system shuts down if something goes wrong. We confirm everything is functioning exactly as it should.
  • Lubricate Moving Parts: Motors, bearings, and other mechanical parts need proper lubrication to operate quietly and efficiently.
  • Check Thermostat Calibration: We confirm your thermostat is reading temperatures accurately and communicating correctly with your heating system.

Each part of your system works together, and small adjustments make a big difference in performance and longevity.

System Cleaning & Efficiency Testing

Finally, we perform a complete system cleaning and efficiency test, including:

  • Cleaning burners and flame sensors
  • Inspecting the flue pipe and venting
  • Measuring system efficiency and temperature rise
  • Ensuring your system meets manufacturer specifications

This final step ensures your equipment is ready for peak performance when you need it most.
Keep your heating system dependable, efficient, and safe all season long.
