Because winters in Alberta are so cold, it’s essential to make sure the heating system is prepared to take on the challenges. Preventative maintenance is the way to go. That’s where Cross Country Mechanical LTD comes in. We have an easy-to-use online form to schedule an appointment. During a pre-winter maintenance check, we’ll get your furnace ready for winter by checking various aspects of your heating system, including:
Air filters: Our team replaces any air filter caked with dust, dirt, or other obstructions. We also advise our customers to invest in an upgraded HEPA, electrostatic, or pleated filter. The extra investment makes a huge difference.
Vents and ducts: Clean ducts and vents are as important as a pristine air filter. We use an extension hose to remove debris, dust, and dander from the ducts and vents. We’ll also open all vents and advise you to move furniture that blocks crucial vents.
Exhaust flues: This feature is located outside the building. The exhaust flue is a critical component of your furnace. Birds’ nests, branches, and debris must be cleared from around it to ensure smooth operation.
The furnace: Debris around your furnace presents a fire hazard, so part of our preventative maintenance process includes clearing debris from around it.
