Jeorell & Dexter
September 2026
The homeowner was concerned about the efficiency of their heating system before the winter season.
Jeorell found that the capacitor for the blower was almost out of specification, which could impact the furnace's performance. Jeorell performed a comprehensive maintenance check, inspecting the thermostat, filters, and furnace components, including the ductwork, refrigeration lines, and blower wheel. He cleaned the flame sensor, checked the heat exchanger, and adjusted gas pressures to manufacturer specifications.
The heating system was thoroughly maintained and is now prepared for efficient performance in the upcoming colder months.
If your furnace's blower capacitor is nearing the end of its lifespan, it can cause the system to run inefficiently. Consider having it checked and replaced during routine maintenance to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Mario & Dexter
August 2026
The homeowner noticed that the third floor was warmer than the second floor.
Mario and Dexter found the issue was related to the attic door being open, affecting airflow. Mario and Dexter performed a comprehensive heating maintenance, including checking the thermostat operations, inspecting the ductwork, and cleaning components like the flame sensor and spark igniter. They also rehung the attic door to improve airflow and advised the homeowner on future upgrades like a fan motor-powered register.
The homeowner experienced improved airflow and temperature regulation after the attic door was rehung.
If your third floor feels warmer, check if doors to attics or storage areas are closed properly. Open doors can disrupt airflow, causing uneven temperatures.

Our heating tune-up includes a 20+ point inspection: cleaning the burners and heat exchanger, checking gas connections for leaks, testing the ignition system, inspecting the flue and venting, lubricating moving parts, checking electrical connections, calibrating the thermostat, replacing the air filter, and testing safety controls. We also measure system efficiency and airflow.
Your furnace should be professionally serviced once a year, ideally in fall before the heating season. Annual maintenance extends equipment life by 5-10 years, maintains efficiency (saving 10-15% on heating bills), catches small problems before they become expensive repairs, and keeps your manufacturer warranty valid.
It's never too late to service your heating system. While fall is ideal, a winter tune-up still provides benefits: improved efficiency, safer operation, and catching issues before they cause a breakdown on the coldest day. We have availability throughout the season and can often schedule within a few days.
