Call (713) 234-4237What furnace cleaning actually involves in Houston
Power goes off at the service switch first. The gas valve is closed. Burner compartment door comes off. Burners are pulled where the design allows, then brushed free of rust scale and spider webbing at the ports. The flame sensor gets scuffed clean with a fine abrasive pad. Heat exchanger surfaces are checked with light and mirror. On condensing units the trap, drain line, and inducer wheel get cleared too.
The blower wheel matters most here. Houston furnaces run a few weeks a year, but that same blower turns all summer. Dust packs into the squirrel-cage blades as a gray felt and kills airflow. It gets pulled and washed off the unit, not wiped at.
Where the furnace sits changes the work. Attic horizontal units in homes built since the mid-1980s sit in R-6 and R-8 flex. Closet furnaces in 1950s-60s ranch stock tie into galvanized trunk-and-branch with fiberglass liner.
Check your return before booking. A disconnected or crushed return pulls attic dust straight into the blower. A cleaned furnace reloads within a season.
If the heat exchanger is cracked, or the cabinet is rusted through from a corroded drain pan, cleaning is the wrong conversation. We say so.
