Dirty Furnace

A dirty furnace can do more than look bad.  It can cause future breakdowns, cost more money and give less comfort for the dollar.  Just like you wash your car, your HVAC units need regular cleaning as well.  This includes many different items from the blower wheel that moves air into your home.  To the inducer housing that gets rid of the burned gases.  The more these items get dirty the less they operate as they should, leading to breakdowns, higher utility costs and a shorter life span.  On average we recommend you have your HVAC system serviced each year to help prevent costly breakdowns. Also to keep both the heating and a/c system working well.

Parts

Each component does something uniquely different in the system and has its own special needs.  The blower motor and wheel circulate the air into your home and need to be clean in order to move the correct amount of air.  It also helps to keep motor vents open to keep the motor running cooler.  The flame sensor only makes a faction of a volt of electricity when it gets coated with dirt it fails to sense the flame.  This can cause the furnace to lock out and provide no heat.  The inducer motor is responsible for mixing the gas and air for combustion and then pushing the burnt fumes out the flue.  The indoor a/c coil does not have a function in the heating mode however if it is dirty it will block air from flowing into your home causing the furnace to overheat.  All of these things need regular check ups to keep the system working in tip top shape.  If you have questions on this or any of our other services feel free to give us a call anytime.
