What are the benefits of an annual boiler or furnace tune-up?

Just like your car, your boiler or furnace requires periodic tune-ups to help it run efficiently, help you save on energy costs and keep you comfortable at home all year round.

These are some of the major benefits why an annual tune-up of your boiler or furnace is so important:

  • It helps prevent breakdowns and keep it in good working order while extending the life of your heating system.
  • You lower the possibility of requiring major repairs by being smart about preventative maintenance.
  • It improves your boiler or furnace’s efficiency which can help reduce your energy costs.

To realize these benefits, a trained heating system technician should always perform the following tasks during your annual boiler or furnace tune-up:

  • Inspect the heat exchanger to ensure it’s not compromised, which could cause carbon monoxide leaks.
  • Check the hydronic system for any leaks.
  • Test for air flow, which if restricted, can affect system efficiency.
  • Check the condensate drain, if the system includes central air or a condensing heat system.
  • Clean the system of any dirt, dust and grime.
  • Check thermostat settings to make sure that they are energy-efficient and meet your home comfort levels.
  • Reset boiler or furnace specifications, as required, according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Check all safety components, electrical connections, motors and controls for safety and proper function.
  • Inspect oil connections, pressure and burner combustion components.
  • Check vents, drafts and flues for leaks.

When is the best time to schedule your annual tune-up?

It’s smart to do this between April and August of every year. Here’s why:

  • The technician gets to witness your boiler or furnace just after the heavy use winter season.
  • You have more tune-up appointment flexibility by beating the fall rush when most others just start to think about their heating system and appointments are tougher to schedule.
  • If the tune-up reveals some major problems with your current system or if it’s time to replace it with a new, more energy-efficient one, it gives you the benefit of time to get any repairs done or get a new system installed before colder weather hits.

Keep in mind – make sure that you keep all the records of annual boiler or furnace tune-ups by professional technicians, you may need them if you need to file a warranty claim.

An annual, professional tune-up and inspection is essential for heating systems of any age! If you need a boiler or furnace tune-up, give us a call to schedule your appointment today. Our local team of professional technicians are ready to help with all your heating system tune-ups, repairs and installation needs.
