Annual HVAC Maintenance

Why It Matters

Heating systems work hard in Connecticut winters. Without regular care, they lose efficiency, cost more to run, and can fail when you need them most. Maintenance isn’t just about preventing breakdowns—it’s about safety, energy savings, and peace of mind.

Boiler Maintenance

Boilers heat water and circulate it through pipes to warm your home. Over time, mineral buildup, worn seals, and dirty burners can cause problems. A professional tune-up typically includes:

• Cleaning the burners and heat exchanger for efficient combustion.
• Checking water pressure and expansion tank to prevent leaks or system stress.
• Inspecting pipes and valves for corrosion or wear.
• Testing safety controls like low-water cutoff to avoid overheating.

Benefit: A clean, well-adjusted boiler uses less fuel and lasts longer—saving you money and reducing risk of costly repairs.

Air System Maintenance

Forced-air systems (like furnaces or rooftop units) move heated air through ducts. Dust, debris, and worn parts can reduce airflow and strain the system. Maintenance usually involves:

• Replacing or cleaning air filters for better airflow and indoor air quality.
• Inspecting blower motor and belts to prevent breakdowns.
• Checking duct connections for leaks that waste heat.
• Testing thermostat and controls for accurate temperature regulation.

Benefit: Proper airflow means even heating, lower energy bills, and fewer surprises during cold snaps.

Gas Furnace Maintenance

Gas furnaces rely on clean burners and safe ignition. Neglect can lead to carbon monoxide risks or inefficient heating. A tune-up includes:

• Cleaning burners and flame sensor for reliable ignition.
• Checking gas connections and pressure for safety.
• Inspecting heat exchanger for cracks that could leak harmful gases.
• Testing safety shut-off systems to protect your home.

Benefit: Safe, efficient operation and peace of mind knowing your system is ready for winter.
