What is a Financial Inspection?

In many cases, most people think a furnace inspection is as simple as turning on and off the furnace and replacing the filter. Wrong.  A furnace inspection is a lot mote involved and can save you thousands of dollars worth of damage and repair cost. Think of your furnace in the way of your vehicle. Would you buy a used car without any inspection? Would you run the car as long as it can without any oil changes or other services? 

Here is a few key points our team looks at when inspecting your furnace: 

• Inspect and clean the blower motor, wheel and housing.
• If it’s an older model we lubricate the furnace blower motor, check belt and replace if needed.
• Check combustion blower for any obstructions and lint, clean as required.
• In gas furnaces we inspect for any gas leaks.
• Inspect the condensate lines and pan, drain as required.
• Check evaporator coil.
• Inspect burner and clean if necessary.
• Check safety controls, ignition and adjust if required.
• Perform a complete inspection of the heat exchanger and/or heat elements.
• Check the flue system ensuring good connections. Inspect for corrosion.
• Check all electrical systems including control box, wiring and connections.
• Inspect air filters and replace as needed.
• Check ductwork for any leaks.
• Review system start up for errors.
• Listen for sounds that may indicate a furnace issue.
• Detect any unusual odors and search for source.
• Review air conditioning and heat pumps while HVAC system is running.
• Measure indoor and outdoor bulbs for pressure.
• Check all furnace system pressures, including high and low side and manifold.
• Measure temperature rise and adjust.
• Inspect vent system while furnace is operating.
