Fall/Winter Maintenance Recommendations

Lennox Furnace

Furnace

  • Clean flame sensor
  • Clean furnace cabinet
  • Check all safety devices
  • Test flue for proper venting
  • Test for carbon monoxide and gas leaks at furnace
  • Check filter and replace if necessary
  • Check motor amp draws and capacitor(s)
  • Check thermostat
  • Visual inspection of the heat exchangers for visual rusting (does not include pulling blower motor or evaporative coil)
  • Clean water drains on high-efficiency furnaces, tighten clamps. Check for leaks

Boilers

  • Clean cabinet
  • Blow out burners
  • Check safeties
  • Test for carbon monoxide
  • Check entering and leaving boiler temperatures through zones
  • Run a cycle and test aquastat function
  • Test the fill valve and check the water pressure
  • Test the pump(s)
  • Check the zone valves
  • Check settings on a high efficiency boiler
  • Check the backflow preventer, recommend install if not present
  • Check the expansion or compression tank
  • Check the temperature and pressure relief valve if there is a floor drain present. Often this valve may not reset if it has not been maintained
  • Recommend a water treatment if necessary Purging air from system may be an extra charge

Spring/Summer Maintenance Recommendations

Evaporative Cooler

Air Conditioning

  • Clean condenser coil with water
