DELFERA Complete Precision Heater Tune-Up And Safety Inspection

  • Inspect Thermostat – Ensure proper operation of the system upon arrival.
  • Verify Operation of Heating Elements (Electric) – To be sure all elements sequence on and off properly.
  • Inspect Filter – A dirty air filter can reduce airflow and make your unit work harder. We recommend checking monthly and replacing it when dirty.
  • Clean Burner Assembly – Clean gently with soft brush to ensure proper functioning.
  • Inspect and Adjust Blower – Proper adjustment and cleanliness of blower and components are necessary for adequate airflow. 
  • Clean Drain Line – clears debris or blockage and prevents system failure.
  • Clean and Examine Pilot Assembly – Pilot lights and burners are observed for proper burning and flame color to ensure no combustion issue.
  • Dust Components – Dust exterior and accessible components. Use a vacuum or damp cloth to remove debris.
  • Test Capacitors – Discharge capacitor and measure capacitance, current and voltage to ensure a constant supply of energy.
  • Test Thermocouple Operation – for proper burn and prevents costly emergency service.
  • Examine Heat Exchanger – Heat exchangers can develop cracks with age, leading to exposure from deadly carbon monoxide.
  • Lubricate Motor (if applicable) – Extends motor and bearing life and prevents failure and costly repairs.
  • Inspect Flue Pipe, Chimney Base, and Draft – Ensures safe operation.  Flue pipe corrosion or debris can lead to carbon monoxide fumes.
  • Inspect All Electrical Connections – Loose wiring connections can cause improper voltage to various components, causing the system to shut down. May also risk sparking or starting a fire in the unit.  Extends equipment life and assures safety.
  • Examine All Safety Controls – Safety controls prevent overheating and possible damage to the unit.
  • Verify and record amp draw on motors.
  • Inspect Ignition Transformer (oil) – If the transformer is weak, you might have improper ignition.
  • Check Flame Detector (oil) – Prevents annoying lockouts.
  • Verify Draft Test (oil) – Ensures proper draft across heat exchanger ensuring maximum efficiency.
  • Perform Smoke Test (oil) – Ensures proper burn leading to maximum efficiency.
  • Inspect Combustion Chamber (oil) – Saves money on fuel bills and promotes safety.
  • Replace Oil Filter (oil) – A clean filter promotes efficient fuel flow to the burner.
  • Change Nozzle (oil) – A worn nozzle will operate inefficiently and lead to costly repairs.
  • Inspect Electrodes for wear (oil) – Replace if corroded or damaged.
  • Verify Temperature Rise Across Heat Exchanger  – Ensures optimal comfort, increases equipment life, and ensure ductwork is properly sized for equipment.
  • Inspect for Combustible Materials – Storing paints, paint thinners and cleaning supplies near a heating system may create a hazardous situation in your home.
  • Combustion Analysis Test (Carbon Monoxide & Efficiency) (Oil & Gas) – Peace of mind against toxic fumes.
  • Explanation of Tune-up – Explanation of work performed in tune-up and results.
  • Advise Improvements as Needed – Informs customer of any potential need for repair or replacement.
