Natural Gas System Maintenance

If you’re looking for natural gas system maintenance in Fresno you do not need to look any further. It is likely that you currently have problems since you are looking at this page, but here are a few short troubleshooting steps that you can complete before you hire a professional to come in and help you fix whatever is going on.

The first step in this is going to be a visual inspection of your furnace. What you’re looking for is anything abnormal whenever the furnace kicks on. At this point have a friend turn on the thermostat well above the standard room temperature while you are watching the furnace. You want to notice that the thermostat is connected to the furnace because it will kick on. If the furnace never kicked on the problem may be with your thermostat.

If you have a working thermostat, it maybe something else going on. Listen for strange noises or try to notice odd vibrations that are coming from the unit. These are great indicators that something may have come loose inside in the furnace, and you will need a trained professional in order to fix it. If there’s no lights flickering in the furnace there maybe problems with the plumbing that provide your natural gas.

If you do not see any major problems in the furnace perhaps it is time to clean the furnace itself. Turn off the gas and wipe away any dirt, grime, or dust from as much of the surface as you can see. This may allow you to see a some problems that you haven’t noticed before due to being hidden underneath the grime.  Inspect your fan belt as this is helps transport the heat from your furnace throughout your house. Make sure that it is not missing and that the belt is not cracked or frayed and that there is appropriate tension throughout. This is needed in order to turn the fan blades themselves.

At this point you would want to shut your gas off, as there could be a gas leak somewhere around your home.  This is an incredibly important because a gas leak can be very dangerous.  It is imperative that you contact a professional in order to make sure that you are not hurt and that there is no damage to your property.
