Furnace Maintenance & Tune-Ups in Batavia, IL | State Automatic

In Batavia, your heating system runs for nearly 2,000 hours a year—roughly the equivalent of driving your car 100,000 miles. You wouldn’t skip oil changes for five years and expect your engine to last; the same logic applies to your furnace. State Automatic Heating & Cooling provides a comprehensive “deep clean” and safety inspection that goes far beyond the “filter swap” offered by discount HVAC companies. Our NATE-certified technicians restore your system’s efficiency, ensuring you aren’t left in the cold when the next Polar Vortex strikes. Learn more at Energy.gov.

Our 21-Point “Deep Clean” Checklist

When we say “tune-up,” we mean it. Our technicians spend 60-90 minutes on your system performing critical checks:

Safety & Combustion

• Heat Exchanger Camera Inspection: We visually inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or fissures that could leak deadly carbon monoxide into your home.
• Combustion Analysis: We measure the oxygen/fuel mix to ensure maximum burning efficiency and test flue draft pressure.
• Gas Pressure Check: We verify the manifold pressure matches the manufacturer’s plate rating for optimal BTU output.
• Safety Switch Testing: We manually trip high-limit switches, rollout switches, and flame sensors to verify they shut the unit down in an emergency.

Electrical & Performance

• Blower Motor Amp Draw: High amps indicate a failing motor or restrictive ductwork.
• Capacitor Check: Weak capacitors are the #1 cause of mid-winter breakdown. We test them under load.
• Igniter Resistance: We measure the ohms on your Hot Surface Igniter to predict if it will fail soon.
• Temperature Rise (Delta T): We measure the air temperature entering and leaving the furnace to ensure proper airflow across the heat exchanger.

Batavia Specifics: Humidity & Hard Water

During your furnace tune-up, we pay special attention to indoor air quality components often ruined by our local water. Given Batavia’s 25gpg hard water, humidifier pads can calcify into a solid rock in a single season. This blocks airflow and can even flood your furnace cabinet. We inspect, clean, and replace humidifier pads and clear condensate drain lines to ensure your home stays comfortable—not dry and static-filled—all winter long, a core part of our Indoor Air Quality services.

Furnace Maintenance FAQs

How often should I have my furnace serviced?

We recommend a professional tune-up once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. This ensures your system is safe and efficient for the winter. However, filters should be changed every 1-3 months by the homeowner.

What is a combustion analysis and why is it important?

Combustion analysis measures the gases in your furnace’s exhaust flue (like a car’s emissions test). It tells us if your furnace is burning fuel safely and efficiently. Without it, you are just guessing.

Can hard water affect my heating system?

Absolutely. If you have a whole-home humidifier, Batavia’s hard water can clog the distribution pad with “scale,” reducing performance and potentially causing leaks. We check and clean these components during every visit.
