Heating system tune up services in Williamsburg VA
  • Thermostat
    Verify that the thermostat is working correctly and calibrated properly. Ensure it is set to the desired temperature and cycles the furnace on and off appropriately.
  • Air Filters
    Check and replace air filters if necessary. Clogged filters can restrict airflow, reducing efficiency and potentially causing damage to the furnace.
  • Burners
    Inspect the burners for any signs of corrosion, rust, or debris buildup. Clean the burners if needed to ensure proper combustion.
  • Ignition System
    Test the ignition system (whether it's a pilot light or electronic ignition) to ensure it's functioning properly. Replace any faulty components as needed.
  • Furnace Heat Exchanger
    Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or signs of damage. A cracked heat exchanger can lead to carbon monoxide leaks, which pose a serious safety hazard.
