AC replacement in Airdrie, AB is something every homeowner will have to face eventually. Here is a quick overview of what you need to know:

Our standard furnace tune-up checklist covers the following essential tasks:

 
  • Inspect Heat Exchanger: We carefully examine the heat exchanger for any cracks, corrosion, or signs of metal fatigue that could lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks. This is a critical safety check
  • Clean and Check Burners: We clean the burners to ensure proper ignition and efficient fuel combustion, which directly impacts your furnace’s performance and energy use
  • Test Safety and Limit Controls: We test all safety controls to ensure they are functioning correctly, preventing overheating or other hazardous conditions
  • Clean Flame Sensor: A dirty flame sensor can prevent your furnace from lighting, so we clean it to ensure reliable operation
  • Check Blower Motor: We inspect the blower motor for wear and tear and lubricate moving parts as needed to ensure smooth operation and proper airflow
  • Inspect Electrical Connections: We tighten and inspect all electrical connections for signs of wear or corrosion, preventing potential electrical hazards and ensuring consistent power supply
  • Test Thermostat: We test and calibrate your thermostat to ensure it’s accurately reading and maintaining your desired temperature, contributing to comfort and efficiency
  • Check Air Filter: We inspect the air filter and advise on replacement if it’s dirty, as a clean filter is essential for airflow and indoor air quality
  • Measure Gas Pressure: We measure the gas pressure to ensure it’s within the manufacturer’s specifications for safe and efficient operation
  • Inspect Venting System: We examine the flue and vent piping for proper draft and any obstructions or signs of corrosion, ensuring harmful exhaust gases are safely expelled from your home
 

A professional tune-up catches small problems before they become expensive repairs, restores your system to peak efficiency, and can save you up to 10% on energy bills. Regular maintenance also keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid - as many require proof of annual service

Critical Safety Inspections

Safety is our top priority during every furnace tune-up. Beyond the general checklist, several critical safety inspections are performed to protect your home and family:

 
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO) Testing: We use specialized equipment to test for the presence of carbon monoxide in your home and around the furnace, ensuring there are no dangerous leaks
  • Gas Leak Detection: Our technicians perform thorough checks for any gas leaks around the furnace and gas lines, which are crucial for preventing fire hazards
  • Electrical Wiring Check: A detailed inspection of all electrical wiring and components identifies any frayed wires, loose connections, or potential shorts that could lead to electrical fires
  • Flue and Vent Pipe Inspection: We carefully inspect the entire flue and vent pipe system for blockages, damage, or disconnections that could cause exhaust gases to back up into your home
  • Combustion Analysis: We analyze the combustion process to ensure your furnace is burning fuel cleanly and efficiently, minimizing the production of harmful byproducts

If our technician identifies a problem during your furnace tune-up, they will immediately explain the issue to you in clear, understandable terms. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong, discuss the implications, and provide you with all available options for repair.
