I haven't started using mine yet, but it's almost time! And since I've had a few of you already PM me about this, I guess I'd better get on the ball and advertise now that I am back in town for a while again.
If you have a heat pump, there's nothing really that you need to do, since I know all of you are responsible enough to have had it checked and cleaned prior to the cooling season, right?
But if you have a furnace, now is the time to get a check-up done, during my slow season. Honestly, a furnace is more maintenance-free than an air conditioner, so don't think you have to do it.
But when I do them, I clean out any dust in the combustion intake area and I clean the flame sensor. Then I verify the safety cycle and start-up delays and temperature differences.
And remember that the most important maintenance you can do is to keep a fresh air intake filter on your return duct. Follow the instructions and time schedule that comes with the filter.
When you PM me, please include your availability and major cross streets so I can schedule better.
Cost is $40 for first furnace, $20 each additional furnace.
I am now also offering dryer vent cleanings. I even learned how to do a really long one recently when one of the members here had an issue I didn't get right the first time. This is not rocket science for the most part, though. If you don't have me do it, please do it yourself at least once a year. You can get the 10' brush at appliance parts centers. And if you are seeing lint behind your dryer, you need to find the hole and fix it. Dryer lint is very flammable.
