Brrrr .. It's cold outside !! :)

Your friends here at Airmax, would like to remind you on this "cold" October morning to keep in mind; now is the time to think about a fall/winter tune-up for your heating units.

Heating Season Planned Maintenance
Factory trained Service Technicians provide the following:
14 point precision tune-up, cleaning and safety inspection services.

Clean or Replace Filters:
A dirty filter will reduce the air flow, resulting in inefficient heating, reduced heating capacity, poor air filtration, and higher heating costs.
Adjust and Clean Blower Components:
Proper adjustment and cleanliness of blower and components is necessary for adequate air flow to ensure your furnace can deliver maximum heating capacity and efficiency.
Check and Test Safety Controls:
Safety controls are essential for proper protection of the unit and your home or office, and will be adjusted to factory specifications
Monitor Furnace Cycle:
Our trained Technician will assure that the heating system is cycling on and off properly and that controls are calibrated to factory specifications.
Adjust Gas Pressure:
Proper gas pressure to the burners will ensure the most efficient and safe burner operation and reduces energy costs.
Clean Heat Exchanger and Burners:
Dirty heat exchangers and burners reduce the heating efficiency and capacity of your furnace.
Adjust Heat Anticipator Settings:
The heat anticipation in your thermostat determines how often your furnace cycles and will affect the cost of operation, as well as the comfort level in your home or office.
Monitor Flue Draft for Safe Operation:
An obstructed flue will cause products of combustion to enter your home or office.
Thoroughly Check for Cracked Heat Exchanger:
As your furnace gets older, there is a real danger of cracks developing in the heat exchanger. These cracks can allow dangerous products of combustion (including carbon monoxide) to enter the fresh air of your home or office and endanger your safety. We will thoroughly inspect your heating system visually and electronically to determine if this hazard is evident.
Check and Adjust Pilot Operation:
 
A properly adjusted pilot will assure that your furnace will start reliably all winter. Lubricate All Moving Parts Where Applicable: Poor lubrication causes drag in the motor and drive shaft, thereby – requiring more electricity to overcome resistance. This condition will cause early motor or bearing failure.
Check and Tighten All Loose Electrical Connections:
Loose electrical connections are a common source of equipment failure.
Monitor Voltage and Amperage Draw on all Motors:
Motors are designed to operate at standard voltage and amperage draw. By measuring amperage draw, problems can be identified before the unit fails.
