Why Annual Furnace Maintenance Matters

We recommend a fall heating check-up every year to support safety, efficiency, equipment lifespan, indoor air quality, and warranty coverage.

• Safety: During each visit, our technicians inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, check for gas leaks, and verify flue pipe venting. These steps help guard against carbon monoxide hazards before the heating season starts.
• Energy efficiency: Cleaning the burners, flame sensor, and blower motor lets the system run with less strain. A furnace working harder than it needs to can show up on your utility bill.
• Equipment lifespan: A well-maintained furnace can be more likely to reach its full expected service life than one that’s been skipped year after year. Regular service catches small problems before they become expensive ones.
• Indoor air quality: Filter inspection and replacement is part of each maintenance visit, supporting cleaner air throughout your home during the months when windows stay closed.
• Manufacturer warranty compliance: Many manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance by a qualified HVAC company for their warranties to remain valid. Our documented service visits can help satisfy that requirement.

What Our Furnace Maintenance Visits Include

Our NATE-certified, factory-trained technicians service oil, electric, and gas furnaces throughout the Burlington area. Before arriving, they know the equipment. After years of structured training through our state-approved apprentice program, they know what to look for.

Every maintenance visit covers:

• Visual inspection of the full unit
• Flame sensor cleaning
• Blower motor cleaning
• Burner cleaning
• Lubrication of moving parts
• Filter check and replacement
• Thermostat calibration
• Electrical connection check
• Safety control testing
• Gas pressure and combustion analysis (gas systems)
• Condensate drain inspection (high-efficiency systems)
• Full system performance test

For gas furnaces specifically, we pay close attention to the heat exchanger. A cracked heat exchanger can allow carbon monoxide to enter your living space. This is a hazard that develops silently. Finding it during a scheduled tune-up is far better than discovering it during a breakdown in January.

Once the visit is complete, your technician walks you through the findings. If anything needs attention, we can explain your options clearly, including whether furnace repair or furnace replacement makes more sense. We start every inspection with the intent of keeping your existing system running if it reasonably can. We don’t recommend more than your system actually requires.

The H.J. Faust, Inc. Annual Maintenance Agreement

Our Annual Maintenance Agreement is designed for homeowners and commercial clients who want consistent coverage without the friction of scheduling from scratch each season. The program includes both a furnace check-up and an air conditioner check-up, a 30-point inspection, priority scheduling, no overtime charges for after-hours calls, and a 10% discount on parts and labor when repairs are needed.

Enrollment is straightforward. A technician confirms your equipment is in good working order before coverage begins; once approved and payment is received, coverage starts that same day. The technicians who perform these visits are developed through the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Apprentice Program, a state-approved five-year curriculum that combines classroom instruction with hands-on fieldwork under direct Senior Mechanic supervision. Every field and office employee also completes a minimum of four additional training sessions per year to stay current on new equipment and technologies. That training pipeline is what stands behind every agreement visit.

Furnace Care Between Professional Appointments

A fall tune-up sets your furnace up for the season, but a few habits through the winter keep it running the way it should.

• Check your filter monthly. Replace it every one to three months depending on your usage and filter type. A clogged filter forces the blower to work harder and degrades air quality at the same time.
• Keep clearance around the unit. Stored items near the furnace restrict airflow and create a fire hazard. The area around the unit should stay clear throughout the heating season.
• Don’t close too many registers. Partially blocking supply and return vents disrupts pressure balance and can cause the system to short-cycle or overheat.
• Consider a programmable thermostat. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat lets you set back temperatures automatically and reduce runtime when the house is empty.

If you notice unusual noises, unfamiliar odors, or changes in how your system is heating, don’t wait for the next scheduled visit. Contact H.J. Faust, Inc., and we can take a look before a small issue becomes a larger one.
