NNUAL NSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service
agency at least once per year. This check should be performed at
the beginning of the heating season. This will insure that all furnace
components are in proper working order and that the heating system
functions appropriately. Particular attention should be paid to the
following items. Repair as necessary.
• Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage. Check
the outside termination and the connections at and internal to
the furnace.
• Combustion air intake pipe system (where applicable). Check
for blockage and/or leakage. Check the outside termination and
the connection at the furnace.
• Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup within the
heat exchanger passageways.
• Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and flame
sense. Flames should extend directly outward from burners
without curling, floating or lifting off.
• Wiring. Check electrical connections for tightness and/or corro-
sion. Check wires for damage.
• Filters. Check that filters are clean and in the proper placement
in the furnace or duct system.
