- Combustion analysis — testing gas pressure, flame quality, and flue draft for gas systems.
- Electrical testing — inspecting contactors, relays, and wiring connections for wear or damage.
- Thermostat verification — calibrating readings and confirming the system responds to heat calls properly.
- Filter and airflow check — replacing filters and measuring airflow to prevent overheating.

Heating Maintenance Priorities for Spring Valley Homes
Heating maintenance in Spring Valley prepares your system for winter after months of summer inactivity, checking safety controls, cleaning components, and verifying that the system responds correctly to heat calls. Spring Valley heating systems from the 1980s-1990s include many units that have exceeded their expected lifespan. Gas furnaces from this era are often single-stage 80% AFUE models that still function but operate inefficiently and may present safety concerns with aging heat exchangers. Spring Valley heating service frequently involves candid conversations about equipment age, safety testing results, and the repair-versus-replace decision that many homeowners in this community face each winter.
