Check Your Furnace

Make sure your furnace stays in winter-ready condition. We recommend this tune-up as part of the annual inspection by a Natural Gas Advantage professional.

• Lubricating the blower bearings and blower motor per manufacturer recommendations
• Visually inspecting all vents, heat exchanger, and motor
• Clearing the furnace area of any dust or combustible materials
• Testing the thermostat
• Cleaning dust out of the blower compartment
• Checking the flue to make sure it is clean and open
• Checking the pilot light, if your furnace has one

For Top Performance…Some tips to keep your natural gas appliances operating in top form:

• Be sure your appliances are professionally installed and serviced.
• Be sure they are well ventilated. In particular, check the venting of your water heating system.
• The gas flame in your appliances should burn a healthy bright blue or blue-orange, never a sluggish yellow.

If a pilot light goes out, turn off the appliance and allow any accumulated natural gas to vent before relighting, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
