NORTHEAST DALLAS – FEELING WARM AND COMFY WITH A FURNACE TUNE-UP
Integrity A/C and Heating – Dallas Area Residential and Commercial HVAC was in Garland this week performing a furnace tune-up for another happy customer.
Why Do Furnaces Need Tune-Ups?
There are many reasons why an annual furnace tune up saves time and money. Our Garland customer has a gas furnace. For gas furnaces – it is important to perform several critical safety checks. Gas combustion creates carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. Normally the CO produced by the gas flame burning in the furnace is exhausted out of your home. A furnace that is out of adjustment can leave CO in your home; which can be extremely hazardous.
Our Garland customer had a dirty flame sensor; which we cleaned. In furnaces, a dirty flame sensor can cause furnace cycling off and on without proper heating. This not only causes an uncomfortable temperature level – the furnace runs up energy bills by running more than needed.
And the constant off-and-on running causes additional wear and tear on all furnace parts; reducing the life span of your heating system. In the photos below – you can see how dirty the sensor was before cleaning.
Just another exciting day at Integrity Air Conditioning: keeping the Dallas area cool in summer and warm in winter – one home and business at a time!

Furnace cleaning. We remove carbon, soot and other combustion byproducts from the burner and combustion chamber helps to promote more efficient operation.
Blower check. By listening to your system’s blower and performing a visual inspection, your HVAC specialist will be able to determine if there’s a bearing or balance problem.
