Annual Inspections

Keep Your System

Running Smoothly

Just like your car needs routine

maintenance, your furnace needs

periodic inspections and tune-ups to

prevent big and costly problems.

These are the steps that Bardi

technicians take during inspections

to ensure your system is in tip-top

shape.

Replace the Air Filter

When inspecting your furnace, Bardi

technicians will check your air filter

and change it if it is dirty.

Changing your filter once a month

increases the efficiency of your

furnace, which means lower utility

bills, improved indoor air quality, and

fewer allergies and respiratory

distress.

A standard household system has one filter. Larger

systems over 4-tons typically have two filters.

Check Flue Pipes

for Proper

Ventilation

Flue pipes vacuum carbon monoxide away from your home.

Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless and virtually undetectable without the proper alarm. It can be toxic and even fatal to your family.

That is why it is essential to ensure your flue pipes are not damaged or

blocked, especially during the winter months when your furnace runs

more frequently.

Measure the VoltageTechnicians use a meter tool to measure the voltage of your system’s

motors to ensure they are functioning properly and not overworking.

Overworking could result in a system failure or breakdown.

Clean the Flame Sensor

Technicians remove buildup on the flame sensor with sandpaper so that it can properly identify and notify the system there’s a flame

present while the gas is on.

If no flame is detected, the sensor shuts down the system to prevent gas from leaking. Dirt and build-up can cause sensors to misread and then

shut down units in error.
