Furnace maintenance in the Concord, CA, area is a necessary part of taking care of your heating and cooling equipment. It helps address any minor issues that may be occurring without you being aware of them. Routine maintenance can also prevent problems from occurring in the future. There are several aspects of heating maintenance that you can address on your own, but a professional appointment with a technician from Cozy Home Services should occur at least once a year.
"Wow!!!! It is so refreshing to get GREAT service this day and age. I called on a Wednesday, they came out that Thursday, fixed our unit all while being professional, kind and very informative. I'm so excited to have found them. My daughter referred them to us, she was 100% correct. Amazing service. Thank you Cozy!"
Early fall is the best time of year to schedule routine maintenance. This is when you turn on our furnace for the first time and rely on it for the coming months. If anything goes wrong with the initial run of your furnace, there’s ample time to schedule repair services. You may notice a slight dusty or burning smell upon starting up your furnace, but this is normal and should go away within a few minutes. This is simply due to an accumulation of dust and debris on the interior components. If it doesn’t go away, you need furnace maintenance or possibly a repair.
Other things we want to watch out for are no warm air coming from your vents, smoke, and loud sounds. Routine maintenance can prevent a lot of problems from occurring, allowing us to catch issues early on.
There are several components of heating maintenance that you can perform yourself on a routine basis.
Changing filters every 30 to 90 days
Visual inspections of your equipment
Keeping vents and registers clear
Replacing batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
As part of professional maintenance, we will inspect all the different components of your furnace. During this process, we clean away grime and gunk, lubricate moving parts, and check electrical connections for fraying wires and damaged fans. Small fixes can take place during this process, ensuring that a small issue doesn’t turn into something extensive that has the potential to shut down your entire HVAC system. If we find issues requiring larger repairs, we’ll schedule another appointment.
If you notice any issues with your heating system, we encourage you to let us know during this maintenance appointment. This includes sudden changes in your energy bill, hot or cold spots in the home, more frequent system runtime, and so on. This information is something we keep in mind as we look at all the different components. We can also monitor your heating unit, letting you know when it’s nearing the end of its life.
