Why Gas Furnace Maintenance Matters in Oklahoma
Oklahoma winters put heavy demand on gas furnaces. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, improves efficiency, and protects your family from carbon monoxide risks.
Some tasks are homeowner-safe — many are licensed technician only.
Here’s the difference.
Homeowner-Safe Furnace Maintenance
✅ Change the Air Filter
- Every 1–3 months
- More often if you have pets or allergies
✅ Keep Vents Clear
- No furniture blocking vents
- Check return air grilles
✅ Check Thermostat Operation
- Replace batteries annually
- Ensure accurate temperature readings
What HVAC Professionals Do During a Furnace Tune-Up
🔧 Inspect Heat Exchanger
Cracks can leak carbon monoxide — invisible and deadly.
🔧 Test Gas Pressure & Combustion
Ensures safe, efficient operation and prevents flame rollout.
🔧 Clean Burners & Flame Sensor
Dirty components reduce heat output and cause ignition failure.
🔧 Electrical & Safety Control Testing
Verifies limit switches, pressure switches, and control boards.
🔧 Blower Motor Inspection
Improves airflow and prevents overheating shutdowns.
🔧 Carbon Monoxide Testing
Especially critical during Oklahoma heating season.
Why Skipping Professional Maintenance Costs More
- Higher gas bills
- Emergency breakdowns during cold snaps
- Shortened system lifespan
- Safety risks
Preventive maintenance is far cheaper than emergency furnace repair.
