FURNACE CLEANING
Furnace Cleaning
Every Becklumb's furnace cleaning and inspection includes the following steps:
-
Vacuum dust and debris from the furnace and return air plenum.
-
Remove dust and debris from the blower fan. Check alignment.
-
Check manifold gas pressure and adjust to the manufacturer’s recommended values.
-
Measure the temperature rise to determine whether it is in the manufacturer’s recommended values. Adjust if necessary.
-
Verify that there is no carbon monoxide leaking into the house. This is done using a calibrated combustion analyser. If carbon monoxide is found, the source of the leak will be identified and follow up steps will be taken.
-
Test the high-limit, flame roll out, flame detection and pressure safety controls.
-
Inspect the electrical wiring. Connections should be tight and free of corrosion.
-
Inspect venting for signs of flue gas leaks into the dwelling.
-
Inspect the condensate line for blockages. Clean if necessary.
-
Inspect the combustion air supply for blockages. Clean if necessary.
-
Inspect the burners for alignment, corrosion and deterioration. The flame should be blue and not impinge on the heat exchanger.
-
Check the condition of the air filter. Recommend replacement if required.
