Regular service can also prevent costly breakdowns. The price of a seasonal tune-up is typically far less than diagnosing and repairing a unit that’s stopped working.
Convenience is another big advantage. A poorly maintained system is more likely to fail—often during extreme temperatures, when it's working hardest. That’s also when technicians are busiest, meaning longer wait times for emergency service. Scheduling a tune-up before the Wasatch Front’s seasons shift can help you avoid discomfort and delays.
What Happens During Your Tune-Up
When Your Tech Arrives: Your technician will arrive on time and treat your home with respect, including wearing shoe covers or removing shoes before entering.
What’s Included in the Tune-Up:
Your technician will follow a detailed checklist, including:
- Testing or replacing the batteries in your thermostat
- Checking and/or replacing the air filter
- Inspecting the outdoor condenser and all connected lines
- Measuring for carbon monoxide at both the furnace vents and flue
- Cleaning the furnace’s flame sensor
- Checking the gas pressure feeding the furnace
- Verifying that the furnace and any attached drain lines are properly positioned
- Securing all gas and electrical connections
- Examining the heat exchanger and burners for cracks or other damage that could cause carbon monoxide leaks
- Removing dust and debris from inside the furnace
Before They Leave:
Your technician will review their findings and share any concerns discovered during the inspection. They will walk you through any problem areas—showing you the actual components in question, not photos from other jobs.
This step is crucial. Unfortunately, some less-than-honest contractors use generic images or previous job photos to create false issues. A trustworthy tech will always show you exactly what’s happening in your own system.
