Annual maintenance is essential for preventing emergency repairs, especially in Connecticut’s demanding climate. This includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking and cleaning burners, testing safety controls, and inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion.
We also check electrical connections, calibrate the thermostat, test the ignition system, and ensure proper ventilation. For oil furnaces, this includes cleaning the combustion chamber and checking fuel lines. Gas systems need gas pressure testing and leak detection. Regular maintenance not only prevents breakdowns but also improves efficiency, which can lower your heating bills. Most importantly, it ensures your system operates safely, protecting your family from carbon monoxide and other hazards.
