Furnace Services in Fremont & Livermore

Furnace maintenance is one of the most affordable heating services available. Exact costs will depend on what kind of furnace you have, but you can usually get the best price if you sign up for a maintenance plan.

Your furnace should be serviced a minimum of once per year, but it’s better to have it serviced in both the spring and the fall.

During your maintenance service, your technician will:

• Check the vent system and air intake grilles and remove blockages
• Inspect the heat exchanger for signs of corrosion or damage
• Examine and clean the blower
• Test the blower motor
• Inspect the electrical connections, tighten or replace damaged wiring (if needed)
• Check the burner and flame sensor
• Examine belts for damage or cracks
• Inspect the thermostat and calibrate it (if needed)
• Lubricate the system’s moving parts
• Clean or replace the air filter
• Test the system’s safety controls and startup cycle

For oil or gas furnaces, these additional steps will be taken:

• Check the fuel lines for leaks
• Test gas pressure, burner, and pilot
• Inspect the thermocouple

Homeowners should change their furnace filters every two to three months. Outside of that, furnace services should only be performed by a trained professional, to ensure you and your family’s safety.

Your furnace maintenance call will last between one to two hours, depending on the needs of your system.
