A dangerous furnace is even worse. A simple annual tune-up is the best way to prevent these problems &#8211; most furnace issues are completely preventable. <\/p>\n<p>A quick tune-up now can identify problems with the furnace before they become major issues. Think of it like a tune-up for your car. Identifying and fixing a small oil leak now can prevent thousands of dollars in engine damage down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Here is our checklist of essential tasks during every tune-up. If you\u2019re handy, you can go through (most of) the list yourself. If not, call in a professional: The price of a tune-up will be far less than an emergency repair call in the middle of January.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-style\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/businessfinancenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-Average-Annual-Furnace-Maintenance-Costs-Why-its-Important.png\" alt=\"Furnace Tune Up\"\/><\/div>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Inspect and clean air filters, changing if needed. A dirty filter can damage your furnace and increase energy bills. (This is always part of a professional tune-up, but you should inspect filters on your own once a month.)<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Check and clean all blower components. Remove any excess dirt to ensure proper airflow. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Check system controls to make sure they\u2019re operating safely and effectively, including high limit and safety controls. Make sure the furnace cycles on and off properly. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Check and adjust the fan and air flow. Make sure the fan only comes on at the preset temperature for maximum efficiency. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Lubricate all moving parts. A motor will not operate properly (which wastes energy) if it is not properly lubricated. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Tighten all electrical connections. Loose connections can make your furnace unsafe and reduce its lifespan do to excess wear and tear. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Check all gas or oil connections &#8211; a loose connection presents a fire hazard and can lead to health problems. Make sure the burner is clean and the heat exchanger is in tact &#8211; these pose health and safety risks, too. However, keep in mind that a chemical inspection is often required to locate dangerous cracks in the heat exchanger. This job is one for the pros. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Check to make sure the thermostat is properly calibrated to ensure proper heating levels. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Check belts for cracks and other signs of wear.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Make sure the flue is not obstructed in any way. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> Clean and adjust the pilot if necessary. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/ul>\n<p>Most professional tune-ups cost anywhere from <strong>$100 to $300<\/strong> &#8211; far less than you\u2019ll pay for an emergency service call or a new furnace. Typically, September and October and the ideal months for service &#8211; just prior to winter but before furnace companies enter their busy season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"author\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ashley Smith<\/p>\n<p>                <!--\n\n<h3 class=\"ctalower\">Find Local HVAC Companies Who Will Compete for Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n                <iframe class=\"homeadvisor\"  height=\"1500\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/ext\/14857237?gatc=KompareItIframe\" align=\"top\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>--><!--\n\n<div id=\"disqus_thread\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript>-->\n              <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Furnace Tune-up Check List A broken furnace is the last thing you want to deal with in the middle of winter.
