A furnace tune-up is the fall ritual most Ontario homeowners should not skip. Before the first hard freeze, having the system inspected, cleaned, and tested gives you a winter of reliable heat instead of a mid-January breakdown. Most maintenance visits take about an hour and can extend the life of the furnace while catching small problems while they are cheap to fix.
Call Durham HVAC Connect and we'll connect you with an HVAC professional serving Durham Region who provides furnace maintenance and tune-ups. You can describe how long it has been since your furnace was last serviced and any concerns you have noticed.
During a typical furnace tune-up the professional will replace the filter, check the thermostat calibration and wiring, inspect the burners and ignition system, examine the heat exchanger for cracks, verify gas pressure and flame appearance, test the safety controls and carbon monoxide readings, and measure airflow and temperature rise. They will also flag parts showing wear — like a blower motor capacitor or draft inducer — so you can plan for them instead of being surprised in February.
