Should I get聽regular聽maintenance on my heating system?
Just like having聽the oil changed for your car, your furnace (as well as your air conditioner) needs an annual tune-up in order to run properly and efficiently. Not only does a furnace maintenance help increase the energy efficiency of the furnace, it聽help聽prevent a breakdown during the coldest months of year, when furnace repair costs are also at their yearly peak.
To put your mind at ease, here are some of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to聽common heating problems.
Is it normal聽for the furnace to make聽a clicking sound when I turn it on?
It is normal to hear a clicking sound when you start up your furnace. This is most likely the spark igniter on the furnace. If you do experience louder and more frequent noises, call聽天美传媒 Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing聽today at (866) 963-7996 for a safety evaluation.
What are the pipes coming out of the tip of my furnace?
The pipes are the combustion exhaust vent and the outside air intake. This type of heating system is referred to as a sealed combustion system.
