Furnace Maintenance in Smiths Falls

Surprisingly, most Canadians do not have their furnace maintained at all. Or, if they do, they do not have their furnace maintained regularly. Homeowners generally wait to do something until there is something to fix.

This is not the correct way to maintain a furnace especially since we live in Canada and need heat to survive the long winter we face each year.

Like it or not, it is a fact.

To avoid poor performance and potential furnace break downs, we recommend that you have an annual furnace maintenance performed once a year. Too often, our HVAC systems don't receive regular attention, as they should. Furnaces are typically in the mechanical room, hidden from our view and sadly, the only time most of us think about our furnace is when it is not working properly. When that happens, the expense of repair and replacement can become overwhelming.

Take action to prevent problems later by having your furnace maintained now. It could save you money and headaches!


The most common parts that fail on a furnace are the following:
  1. Inducer Motor   
  2. Hot Surface Ignitor
  3. Flame Sensor/Rod
  4. Pressure Switch
  5. Capacitor
  6.  Blower Motor
  7. Condensation lines
  8. Control Boards
  9. Heat Exchangers

What can a Furnace Maintenance do to prevent this from happening?
We have technicians who are professionally trained and can pinpoint a problem with a part before it becomes a big problem.

Our professional technicians will clean the part to bring it back to manufacturer standards or document a part that is not performing correctly and will notify you of this and of its possible impact on the furnace, if this part is not changed. They also check for Carbon Monoxide (CO) and gas leaks and have, without a doubt, saved lives by finding these hidden dangers in customer's homes.

All of our technicians are TSSA certified gas technicians with all lead technicians being G2 certified. This is important since this is the only qualification that the Government of Ontario recognizes for people who wish to install, service, or maintain a furnace. Our technicians have obtained their certification by going through College or Government-approved Trade Schools.

You can rest assured that we are more than qualified to do the job correctly. 

Furnace Maintenance Procedure for Licensed Technicians is as follows: 
  • Inspect & calibrate thermostat
  • Check filter
  • Inspect heat exchanger for cracks
  • Check Furnace Inducer Motor
    • Does the Inducer Motor sound rough or are there any signs of water leaking out of the motor?
  • Clean burners
  • Clean Flame Sensor/Rod
    • Is Flame sensor dirty? Is the flame sensor weak?
  • Check Hot Surface Ignitor (HSI) for signs of wearing or breaking. Test HSI and record readings.
  • Check Gas Pressure (Manifold Pressure)
    • Does the gas pressure match the manufacturer specifications?
  • Inspect wiring for damage
    • Are there any signs of burnt wires?
    • Has anything fallen off?
  • Tighten all electrical connections
  • Test all safety controls
    • Does the high limit close if the furnace exceeds the ideal temperature of the furnace?
    • Does the furnace “Lock out” if Gas Valve is defective?
  • Check Condensation lines and ensure no water leaks are found
    • Are the condensation line worn out or are there signs that the line will start to leak soon?
  • Check P-Trap
  • Check Gas Pipes
    • Ensure that no gas is leaking out of pipes
  • Check voltage and amperage of motors
  • Check Venting to ensure there are no cracks
    • Old Venting (Black ABS) can crack which can lead to CO poisoning. 
      This is the most common hazard that technicians will come across. This is not only an issue for furnaces but also for power-vented water heaters.
  • Check Blower motor and test for Amp pull
  • Temperature rise/Air concern's that may be present
  • Check for CO
  • Clean furnace. Wipe down furnace and vacuum out dirt and debris inside the furnace
  • Fill out Maintenance Service report

    Price For Maintenance: $80.00
