Dusty Furnace Due for a Check Before Winter in Fort Smith, AR (Furnace Tune-Up)

A Fort Smith homeowner called because the heating system was due for maintenance before the cold weather.

What Our Technician Found

Our technician opened up the furnace and found dust built up inside the cabinet, right above the control board and wiring. He checked the burners and ignition, the flame sensor (a thin metal rod that tells the furnace the burners lit), the safety controls and the blower (the fan that pushes warm air through your vents).

What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job

  • Dust is hard on furnaces. It builds up on parts and wiring over time.
  • A fall tune-up catches problems early. It beats a no heat call on a cold night.
  • Change the filter often. It keeps dust out of the cabinet.
