Save on a Furnace Tune Up this Fall

Colorado’s cooler temperatures are here to stay, making it the perfect time to schedule a furnace tune-up before winter’s chill sets in! Blue Valley Heating & Cooling in Longmont offers a fall special on furnace tune-ups. Regular furnace maintenance like this can significantly extend your furnace’s life, maximize its efficiency, and prevent inconvenient breakdowns during the coldest days of winter.

Furnace Tune Up Focus Areas

Combustion Chamber

Safety is critical in the combustion chamber. A trained technician will turn off both the electrical power and fuel supply before opening the combustion chamber to clean it thoroughly. They’ll inspect the interior for corrosion, addressing any issues to ensure the furnace operates safely and efficiently.

Blower Compartment

The blower compartment, exhaust flue, and connecting ductwork also need cleaning and inspection. Technicians check for holes or other signs of damage and will patch them if needed. This step keeps your furnace running smoothly and prevents heated air from leaking out.

Pilot Light

The Blue Valley team checks the pilot light to ensure it burns steadily with a blue flame. A faint or yellow flame could indicate dirty burners or a damaged heat exchanger, both of which need repair to maintain proper furnace function.

Motor Bearings

Some furnaces have two motor bearings and two blower-shaft bearings that need oiling annually. Using the right amount of oil is essential since over-lubrication can affect performance. Blue Valley’s technicians will handle this with care, ensuring your motor operates efficiently.

Furnace Filter

Your furnace filter traps dust and dirt, protecting interior components. Replacing it every 1–3 months helps keep indoor air clean. Consider filters that trap bacteria, pollen, and mold spores for even better air quality. For oil-fired furnaces, an annual oil filter replacement is also necessary.

Regular furnace maintenance has many benefits, from improving energy efficiency to promoting a healthier indoor environment.
