Furnaces 101: Components of a gas furnace include a thermostat, a draft hood/fan, burners, heat exchanger, a blower and a flue.
A forced-air furnace heats your home through a heating cycle that looks like this:
- Natural gas or propane is ignited in the burner.
- The flames heat up a metal heat exchanger and exhaust out of the flue.
- The heat exchanger transfers its heat to the incoming air.
- The furnace’s blower forces the heated air into the ductwork and distributes it throughout the home.
- As the warm air fills each room, the colder, denser air is drawn back into the furnace via the return ducts, repeating the process
Central air heating systems control the filtration, air movement, temperature and humidity of a given environment. Specifically, residential furnaces will keep your home or business cool and maintain lower humidity levels to further increase comfort. Air conditioners can be centralized with ductwork to carry the cooled air to various rooms or generated from individual units that cool specific areas. System elements include a compressor, a fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil, and a refrigerant. The unit extracts heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be re-circulated.
Why is maintenance so important? All of these various components work together to make the system run, and therefore need to be checked for proper function in order to prevent break downs or unnecessary wear and tear. Regular preventative servicing of your HVAC unit provides you with increased safety, energy and money savings, as a properly running system naturally runs more efficiently. This provides you with a peace of mind that your system is running smoothly and safely and also that your carbon footprint is small! Plus, the annual services and professional cleaning can double the remaining life of your whole HVAC system.
What does a service technician do during a furnace tune-up? The tech will clean and check all safeties, get ohm readings on the hot surface ignitor and flame sensor, check all electrical components and amp draws, check gas pressures and temperature rise, and thoroughly clean and dust t he unit, including replacing the filter with a new one. Lastly, they will start up and test the system after the inspection & cleaning before leaving to make sure it is all running properly.
