It would be a good idea to have the furnace maintained twice a year, once at the beginning of the heating season and once at the end. If you do the pre-season maintenance the tech will perform a start up of the furnace and you will be able to tell how the system is going to run. It would also be a good idea to use the company that installed the furnace to use them for maintenance. They keep records of the maintenance and they know the product inside and out.
When your tech comes to perform a routine maintenance, you should expect to see him do the following inspection.
You want to see them check out the complete system by checking the cooling modes of the furnace and the heating modes. Then you will want to see a check of the defrost operation on the heat pump if the furnace is equipped with one. The technician will also do a check on all of the major components of the furnace to ensure all parts are doing their jobs. Then they should clean the indoor and outdoor air conditioning coils as well as the indoor blower housing and the blower wheel.
It is very important and vital to the furnaces operation that these components are checked.
