Inspecting and cleaning the furnace and ducts for any blockages or debris
Checking the thermostat to ensure it's functioning properly
Testing the pilot light or ignition system for safe operation
Lubricating moving parts like the blower motor and bearings
Checking and adjusting the gas pressure and airflow
Measuring carbon monoxide levels for safety
Identifying and addressing any potential issues before the heating season
Completing these maintenance steps can improve your system's efficiency, performance, and lifespan.
