Fall Furnace Tune-Up Checklist for Stroudsburg Homeowners
Skip the breakdown call. Here's the complete fall furnace tune-up checklist every Stroudsburg homeowner should know — what we do, why it matters, and what to do yourself.
Eighty percent of midwinter furnace breakdowns are preventable. A 60-minute fall tune-up catches the issues that turn into 11 PM emergency calls. Here's what a thorough furnace tune-up includes.
Professional tune-up checklist
A complete tune-up from Stroudsburg Heating and Cooling includes: inspect and clean the burner assembly, check heat exchanger for cracks, test ignition system and flame sensor, measure gas pressure and combustion efficiency, inspect and clean blower assembly, replace or clean air filter, test thermostat calibration and wiring, lubricate motors and moving parts, check safety controls and limit switches, test for carbon monoxide leaks, inspect venting and flue, and check capacitors and contactors on electrical components.
DIY between visits
You should change air filters every 60-90 days (every 30 in winter if you have pets), keep the area around the furnace clear of stored items, test your CO detector batteries each fall, and listen for new noises and book service if anything changes.
Why fall, specifically?
The first cold snap in October stresses a furnace that hasn't run in months. Better to find a worn igniter or weak capacitor during a planned tune-up than at 2 AM in January.
Tune-up pricing
A standard furnace tune-up runs $89-$129. Our $89 fall special covers a single furnace and includes a written report of findings. Call before October 15 to lock in the rate.
