Furnaces typically do not need a lot of maintenance to work. Some furnaces can go for years without any maintenance and work fine. Other furnaces can have a problem within the first year or even months. It does not matter the brand in most cases. Many problems with furnaces and heat pumps are miner and if corrected early they will not lead to major problems. A typical furnace maintenance from Dan’s Top Notch includes checking air filter for correct application, good frame seal, cleanliness, and advise. We would check all refrigerant levels, electrical connections, amp draws, capacitors, condensate system. We check safety shut off response to insure your family and home are safe. Did you know a slightly dirty coil on a Air conditioner or heat pump can cut it’s efficiency by 65% costing you performance and money. This situation will lead to high pressure in the unit and block air flow from the furnace making it run hotter then normal. Many service calls are caused by a dirty filter, leading to a dirty coil, tripping limits designed to insure safe operation. When these limits fail they have normally tripped many times, auto resetting and the people in the home don’t even realize this is happening. A $20.00 capacitor can cost you a $2000.00 compressor, if not found early. This is why all manufactures require yearly maintenance to keep your factory warranty in tact. Air follows the path of least resistance. If your filter is clean, this will let the air go through it and not around it. Yes maintenance helps. Call today and Save! (360) 835-9364
