At Carey Plumbing & Heating, we like to talk with customers to find out if they are having any issues regarding their heating system. Here's what we usually ask:

1. Are there any abnormal noises?
2. How are your utility bills?
3. What about allergies?
4. Are you comfortable? Are there any hot or cold areas?

Having your heating system serviced will improve the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of your equipment. Here's what we can do:

1. Check filters. Replace if needed.
2. Check and clean burners.
3. If the furnace uses a hot surface igniter to light the burner, we watch to make sure it heats up.
4. Make sure the burners light smoothly. Adjust burner air shutters if needed.
5. Check the temperature rise to ensure that it's within the limits listed by the manufacturer.
6. On newer furnaces, which prove the flame-by-flame rectification principle, measure the flame current.
7. Check vent motor performance.
8. Inspect the vent system.
9. Check fresh air ventilation.
