Furnace & AC Tune-Ups in Red Deer, AB
A tune-up in late summer or early fall finds the worn part before it fails on a cold night, and checks that the furnace is venting safely.
Request an HVAC technicianFurnace check
The technician inspects burners and the heat exchanger, cleans the flame sensor, tests the igniter and safety switches, checks the venting and measures how the furnace is running.
Boiler check
Pressure, relief valve, circulator pumps, zone valves and venting are tested, and the system is bled if air has collected.
AC or heat pump check
The outdoor coil is cleaned, electrical parts are tested, refrigerant pressures are checked and the condensate drain is cleared.
Timing
Book heating checks in August or September, before everyone else does. Cooling checks fit April or May.
Long seasons wear parts
A furnace that runs from September to May puts on many hours. Igniters, inducer motors and blower bearings wear with use, and a tune-up spots them early.
Between visits
Change filters regularly, keep vents and returns clear, and keep the outdoor vent pipes free of snow.
Book a visit
Tell the technician which equipment you have and its age. Send a request and an HVAC technician will get in touch.
Signs you need a visit sooner
Strange noises, a burning smell that lasts more than a few minutes at start-up, uneven heat or a sudden rise in gas bills are worth a visit before the next scheduled tune-up.
Keep the paperwork
Note the date of each tune-up and what was found. A service history helps diagnose problems and supports warranty claims.
Combustion air
Furnaces need air to burn safely. Don't store boxes, paint or laundry against the furnace, and keep any combustion air openings into the furnace room clear.
