Comprehensive Inspection and Cleaning
At My Jockey, our heating system tune-up and maintenance process begins with a meticulous inspection of your entire heating system.

Electrical Components and Connections Examination
Faulty or loose electrical connections can cause significant problems, including reduced efficiency and system breakdowns. During our maintenance process, we examine all electrical connections and components within your heating system unit. We ensure that all wires and terminals are secure and check for any signs of wear or damage that could lead to future issues.
We also inspect ignition system to ensure reliable startup. By ensuring these parts are in prime condition, we help maintain your system’s reliability and efficiency.
Thermostat Calibration and Testing
A properly calibrated thermostat is essential for maintaining a comfortable home environment and optimizing energy use. Our technicians perform a detailed inspection and calibration of your thermostat to ensure it accurately reads and maintains your desired temperature settings. We check the placement of your thermostat to ensure it’s not exposed to unintended heat sources like direct sunlight or kitchen appliances, which can mislead temperature readings.
We also test the thermostat’s connectivity with your heating system and ensure it communicates effectively with the system. If necessary, we recommend modern programmable thermostats that offer more precise control over your home’s climate and energy usage.
Airflow and System Efficiency Assessment
Proper airflow is a critical factor in your air conditioner’s overall performance. During our maintenance visit, we measure and assess the airflow throughout your system to identify any restrictions or inefficiencies. Blocked airflow can result from various factors, including dirty filters, ductwork issues, or improperly sized ducts.
We inspect and clean your ductwork to eliminate any blockages that might hinder airflow. Additionally, we evaluate your system’s overall efficiency, ensuring it warms your home effectively without consuming excessive energy. Identifying and addressing airflow issues not only improves comfort but also reduces wear and tear on your unit.

Heating systems are comprised of numerous moving parts, such as blowers and motor bearings, which require regular lubrication to function smoothly. Over time, these parts may dry out or become worn, causing friction and reducing efficiency. Our maintenance service includes the lubrication of all essential moving parts to minimize friction, prevent wear, and extend the lifespan of your system.
We use high-quality lubricants that are designed to withstand the operational conditions of HVAC systems, ensuring long-lasting protection and performance.
