Older Gas Furnace Due for a Heating Check in Fort Smith, AR (Furnace Tune-Up)

A Fort Smith homeowner called for a heating tune-up on an older gas furnace before the cold weather.

What Our Technician Found

Older furnaces can run for years, but they need closer attention. Our technician checked the burners and the gas valve (the part that lets gas in to the burners), measured the gas pressure, pulled the flame sensor (the small rod that confirms the burners lit) to check it and tested the electrical parts with a meter.
