Our Heater Maintenance Process: More Than a Tune-Up
When you schedule a maintenance visit with Pace Heating & Air, our goal is to provide something invaluable: a full season of worry-free warmth. We want to solve problems before they happen.
We’ve refined our process over 40 years to be more than just a quick check. It's a comprehensive health assessment for the system your family relies on, ensuring it runs safely, efficiently, and reliably all winter long.
Step 1: Deep Cleaning for Peak Efficiency
The foundation of our maintenance process is a thorough cleaning. A clean heater is an efficient heater. Over a season, dust and debris force the system to work harder, consume more energy, and wear out faster. We meticulously clean the core components to restore performance.
This includes:
- Cleaning the furnace burners and flame sensor
- Washing the blower motor, housing, and wheel
- Inspecting and cleaning coils and internal components
Step 2: Detailed Safety Inspection
Your family’s safety is our absolute top priority. Once the system is clean, we conduct a detailed inspection of all safety-critical components to ensure your system is operating exactly as it should be.
This includes:
- Carefully inspecting the heat exchanger for any stress cracks
- Testing all safety controls and automatic shutoffs
- Checking all electrical connections to prevent hazards
- Verifying correct thermostat calibration and operation
Step 3: Performance Tuning and Calibration
Finally, we focus on maximizing performance to save you money. As you noted, proper maintenance significantly boosts energy efficiency. By tuning your system, we can reduce its energy consumption, which helps lower your utility costs—a crucial benefit in Albany.
This includes:
- Lubricating all moving parts to reduce friction and wear
- Measuring gas pressure and adjusting for optimal combustion
- Confirming the system's heating cycle and airflow are correct
The result of this detailed process is the confidence and peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is truly ready for winter.

How Maintenance Translates to Real Energy Savings
Every homeowner in Albany understands that winter comfort comes with a cost, and seeing high energy bills can be disheartening. While many accept this as unavoidable, a key reason for high costs is that a heater's efficiency naturally declines over time. As dust and dirt build up and parts drift out of alignment, your system is forced to work harder and use more energy. Regular maintenance is the most effective way to combat this, acting as a direct investment in controlling those costs.
Our maintenance service is specifically designed to reverse this process and restore your system's original efficiency. By cleaning and tuning your heater, we enhance its performance, which directly reduces energy consumption and leads to lower utility costs. This is especially crucial in our region, where an energy-efficient heating system is vital for managing costs while staying comfortable.
We accomplish this through a series of targeted actions that make a measurable difference:
- Deep Component Cleaning: We thoroughly clean the blower wheel, coils, and other parts to ensure unrestricted airflow and maximum heat transfer. This alone can significantly cut down on the energy your system needs to use.
- Precise Calibration and Tuning: We adjust the gas pressure and burner combustion to ensure your system is burning fuel cleanly and effectively, not wasting it.
- Full System Lubrication: By lubricating all moving parts, we reduce the friction and electrical draw that makes your heater work harder than necessary.
- Thermostat and Control Verification: We ensure your thermostat is calibrated correctly so that your system runs only when it needs to, preventing wasteful "short cycling."
The result is a heating system that operates at its best. You get the warmth and comfort your family needs, but with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your heater is running efficiently and you are no longer paying for wasted energy.
