Furnace Tune Up in North Shore, MA

What to Expect from A Furnace Tune-Up

The Boston Winter is almost upon us! At Cranney Companies, we’re looking forward to snow, long evenings by the fire, hot cocoa — but maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves. After all, wasn’t it just August? Weren’t we just doing A/C repairs for Boston and Cambridge homeowners to help them get through the hot, muggy, New England summer? How can we already be talking about hot cocoa?

Well, that’s just the thing: time really flies. And now is the time to have you furnace tuned up or replaced, rather than later when the temperatures drop. The key to a happy home is to have the equipment you need before you need it! If your furnace hasn’t been tuned up in a while (or ever), or if your equipment is outdated and inefficient, you are at risk of a furnace failure. The good news is that Cranney Home Services is offering furnace tune ups this season that can give you up to 47% off the service, so if you act now you can have peace of mind all winter long. Our expert heating technicians perform full tune ups, repairs, and replacements with all of the most advanced technology and techniques.

But what does a furnace tune-up entail, anyway? Here’s what you should expect no matter what company inspects your furnace, the checklist that Cranney professionals consider absolutely mandatory:

• Test for Carbon Monoxide– Your furnace’s exchanger produces heat through combustion, and CO fumes are a naturally occurring part of that process when it is incomplete. That’s why a furnace that isn’t properly installed or maintained is a carbon monoxide risk.
• Check and Clean All Ventilation/ Exhaust– Build-up in your chimney or vent pipe can spell disaster if it should catch on fire. If you haven’t had an inspection in a year or more, you need to have your filters cleaned!
• Adjust Safety Controls– All safety controls need to be recalibrated and wiped down to ensure that they are operating properly and efficiently.
• Furnace Cycle Check– Before the technician leaves, he has to run the furnace once to make sure that everything is working properly.

And these are just the bare necessities. Make sure that your home is prepared for the MA cold season with a preseason tune-up, and make sure that tune up is done right by choosing Cranney, your residential professionals. Call today!
