Signs Your Furnace May Need More Than Maintenance
Furnace maintenance in Chicago, IL is a preventive service for a unit that’s performing well. But there are times when you should consider furnace repair rather than maintenance. Call us and schedule a repair service if you notice these symptoms:
- The furnace won't turn on
- A major drop in heating performance
- Cold air coming from the vents
- Short cycling and shutdowns
- Unusual noises or odors
- Repeated shutdowns or error codes
A tune-up can catch a developing problem before it becomes a breakdown. If we find any issues, we can help you schedule a repair visit to diagnose and fix the problem.
What’s Included in an Astera Furnace Tune-Up?
With our residential furnace maintenance services in Chicago, IL, we’ll check that your heating system is operating safely before the winter weather sets in. Every tune-up focuses on mechanical and electrical checks to keep your home warm.
Combustion & Safety Checks
In the first stage of our residential furnace maintenance services, we inspect the components that affect safe operation: the burners, igniter, flame sensor, and heat exchanger. For gas furnaces, we check gas pressure and measure carbon monoxide levels.
Airflow & Heating Performance
Airflow problems can compromise your unit’s performance. Technicians check the air filter, blower, fan motor, and belts and pulleys where applicable. We will also verify its heating performance and check that the operation meets the manufacturer’s specifications.
Thermostat, Electrical & Controls
We test the electrical connections, capacitors, relays, and limit switches (which shut the furnace off. We also test thermostat operation so your system responds correctly to the temperature you set.
General Furnace Condition
With our furnace maintenance services, our team will conduct a thorough inspection, paying close attention to overall operation and cabinet integrity. We’ll identify any wear and tear and will lubricate the motor (if necessary). Finding worn parts early gives you time to plan a repair instead of dealing with a breakdown in January.
When Is the Best Time for Furnace Maintenance in Chicago?
Book before the heating season so problems are fixed before the first cold snap. Late September and October are the best months for preseason furnace maintenance service: your system gets checked before you rely on it every day, and any issues can be fixed before the first cold snap.
Is annual maintenance always necessary? We recommend yearly tune-ups, even for newer models, but this may not be necess.
A maintenance visit also makes sense if:
- Your furnace hasn't been used for a long time, for example, in a vacant home or after a renovation.
- Your furnace is older and more prone to wear.
- You've noticed small changes, such as longer run times or uneven heating.
Small changes are easier to address early than after a breakdown. If the furnace stops heating or keeps shutting down, schedule a repair visit instead.
