Most furnace manufacturers recommend annual inspections and maintenance by a qualified technician. Prescott Air Conditioning discusses how often the furnace in your Prescott home should be inspected to keep it working well all winter.

Not only do furnace manufacturers recommend annual inspections, but they also have language in their warranties saying that damage caused by improper maintenance is not covered under the warranty. Does this mean that the warranty is not valid if an annual furnace checkup is neglected? Probably not, but it’s recommended and for good reason. The best analogy is going to your primary care provider annually for a thorough checkup with lab work. While often not necessary, it is usually recommended.

Here is just a partial list of general things that different furnace manufacturers recommend be performed annually by a qualified heating technician:

• The vent system needs to be inspected carefully for blockage and/or leakage
• The blower access door must be inspected to make sure it makes a tight seal
• Combustion gases must be analyzed to confirm they meet the unit’s specifications
• The heat exchanger needs to be checked for corrosion and rust
• The burners need to be inspected for proper ignition and flame

The above list contains just a few of the tasks that a qualified technician will perform during an annual inspection of your heating system. Prescott Air Conditioning wants to make sure you and your family are warm and comfortable all through the winter months, and recommends an annual inspection of the furnace in your Prescott home.
