Furnace Inspection Procedure in Lynnwood

To keep your furnace operating optimally, it’s imperative to have it inspected on a regular basis. Ideally, you want an HVAC technician to look at it biannually (in the spring and fall) so that you can resolve any relatively small problems before they exacerbate and become more expensive to repair. Find out what the furnace inspection procedure entails.

Furnace Inspection Procedure at a Glance

There is much more to it than changing your filter and making sure the thermostat is functioning properly. Here is a list of some of the work the technician will accomplish during the inspection.

• Inspect and clean the furnace’s blower motor, the wheel, and housing.
• Check the combustion motor for lint and other debris. A cleaning will follow if necessary.
• With a gas furnace, the technician will check for any gas leaks.
• Check the condensate lines and the pan. The technician will drain the pan if it needs draining.
• Check the evaporator coil.
• Inspect the burner and clean it if necessary.
• Check the ignition and the safety controls, and make adjustments as needed.
• Perform an inspection on the heat elements/heat exchanger.
• Check the flue system for rust and corrosion.
• Inspect all electrical systems, including the control box and associated connections and wiring.
• Check the air filters and replace as needed.
• Examine the ductwork for leaks.
• Run system startup to look for errors.
• Listen for any sounds or vibrations that may indicate a problem.
• Detect odors and track the source
• Check the furnace system pressure (including high and low side, as well as the manifold).
• Measure temperature rises and make adjustments.
• Check the ventilation system while the furnace is in operation

This detailed inspection will alert you to a problem with the heating system in its early stages. If you arrange for an inspection before winter sets in, your furnace is much less likely to malfunction during cold weather when you need it most.
