Get Ready for Your Furnace Inspection

Furnace manufacturers are recommending that you

have an annual inspection of your furnace performed

by one of their qualified technicians. If you were to

take a moment and look at the information contained

in the warranty for your furnace, you will notice that

they don’t cover any damage directly resulting from

improperly maintaining your unit. Even though it

might not be required or cause the warranty to get

voided, an inspection is still recommended to ensure

your system is continually operating at peak capacity.

Just because something isn’t required, that doesn’t mean you should do

anything with it. For those with a newer furnace, you might only need to get

your unit inspected once bi-annually. When your furnace is more than 10

years old, you need to start having it inspected every year.

Ventilation systems need to be examined for potential leakages and

blockages in the system. Combustion gases have to be analyzed and

compared to ensure they are up to par in terms of unit specifications as

outlined by the manufacturer. Blower access doors have to be examined to

ensure they are sealed tightly at the furnace. Beyond going through and

checking the ventilation system, you also have to inspect the air intake

louvers and grills to ensure there aren’t any blockages in those areas either.

Heat exchangers need to be evaluated for rust and corrosion. Burners have

to be examined for a burner flame, flame sense and proper ignition.

Drainage systems have to be checked for potential leakage and blockage,

which includes all of the different hoses running on the inside of the furnace.

Condensation drains and traps require a thorough cleaning and replacement

of the water inside of the trap.

Check for debris along the blower wheel and have it cleaned if needed. The

entire wheel needs to be removed for you to perform this process. Wiring

needs to be examined for any potential corrosion and damage to ensure you

are properly taken care of.
