What’s Included in a Heating Tune-Up Session

Maintenance on your heater is something to keep in mind during all seasons, even during a super-heated summer. If more than a year has passed since you had your furnace or heat pump scheduled for an inspection and tune-up session, late spring and summer are good times to take care of this. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you can warm up your home on the first cold day of the year with as few problems as possible.

A tune-up session for a heater covers many systems and components, and we’ll look at some of what you might expect when a maintenance technician comes to your house. Call the heating repair and maintenance specialists at Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing to set up your maintenance session today.

What to expect during heating system maintenance

A tune-up for your heater will vary depending on what sort of system you have: furnace (gas or electric), heat pump, radiant floor heating, etc.

Thermostat checks and calibrations (all systems)
Airflow tests (forced-air systems)
Cleaning the burner (gas-powered furnaces)
Cleaning coils (heat pumps)
Cleaning other dirt- and dust-contaminated components (all systems)
Tightening electrical connections (all systems; gas-powered heaters have electrical connections as well)
Checking gas flow on main natural gas line (gas-powered heaters)
Checking for heat exchanger cracks (gas-powered furnaces)
Examining floorboards for pipe leaks (radiant heating systems)
Replacing the air filter (all forced-air systems)
Flushing the tank (radiant heating systems)
Inspecting indoor blower motors (forced-air systems)
Cleaning the condensate pan (heat pumps)
Checking the control panel (all systems)
Recharging any lost refrigerant (heat pumps)

How the session goes depends on whether the technician finds faults that he or she can fix on the spot, or else make recommendations for the repairs that will remedy the problem. When the technician has finished the inspection and tune-up, your system will receive a check to make sure that it uses energy efficiently and provides the right level of heating to keep you comfortable.

Make sure you follow advice from your technician regarding any repairs you may need. The technician will help you schedule these.

Heating maintenance is mandatory

Scheduling regular maintenance for your heating system isn’t something you can skip a few years at a time. For your heater to work its best, without draining power or causing safety hazards, it requires annual inspections and tune-ups.

Our AC went down for the upstairs unit. We have a maintenance plan through another company but they do not provide 24/7 service. I called Goettl and I am so happy I did. Jesus Gloria was out within a few hours. I was called to confirm the appointment window. Then texted with the photo attached so I would know who my technician was and the link to track their arrival. Jesus was so professional and explained everything to make sure I understood. He took photos and videos to make sure I could see what he was talking about. Then showed me the photos after the repairs. I am so impressed with this experience. The company very clearly communicates how important customer satisfaction is to them. A+++ service and Jesus did an amazing job. I will definitely consider their maintenance plan in the future which also includes routine plumbing inspections and flushing for the same price other companies charge for HVAC services alone.

I called Goettl to get a second opinion on a/c repair options or replacement. Peter Medelez conducted a very thorough system check and confirmed all the same issues previously identified but found an additional issue; tipping the scale to full replacement. We appreciated his professionalism and knowledge: answering all our questions and explaining the issues and options. We ultimately chose Goettl for the replacement option due to their price and professionalism.

William and Cameron were knowledgeable, friendly, professional, respectful and put on plastic booties over their shoes when they came into the house. Our pets were comfortable with them and that says a lot. We will definitely ask for them again in the future if our AC has any issues.
