Question:
If I have it serviced, I'd prefer a HVAC person to do it, rather than a pool
repair guy, since I think the HVAC guy would know more about furnaces and
heaters. Still, what should I expect when it's serviced? Does it need
servicing?
Answer:
I have seen a few of those things, but never really got to tear into one
yet. I would guess just a good visual inspection and cleaning of the burners
and flue system. Check and adjust the gas pressure if needed. I doubt the
induced draft motor has oil ports, but if it has a drop of oil in each port.
Heck, not a lot you can do to those things except make sure it is clean and
burning properly. It is a piece of equipment that you use, you like and you want it to
work when you need it.
You want it to work reliably like your home furnace and automobile or
do you just want to take your chances?
Your best bet would be to find the manual for it and see what they
recommend as far as service and/or cleaning.
Me.Id service it once a year.
