Bradford's furnace tune-up is a full 20-point inspection — not a quick filter swap. Here's exactly what we check on every Sun City service call:
Safety Note: Heat Exchanger Inspection
A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your living space. This is the most important safety check in any furnace tune-up — and it can only be found with a proper inspection. Bradford checks every heat exchanger on every tune-up, no exceptions.
Arizona furnaces run far fewer hours than those in cold climates — but that doesn't mean they can skip maintenance. Sitting idle for 8–9 months creates its own problems, especially in Sun City's larger two-story homes.
After 8–9 months idle, dust accumulates in burners and heat exchangers. This causes inefficient combustion, yellow flames, and increased carbon monoxide risk — a particular concern in Sun City's newer, tighter-sealed homes.
Hot surface igniters are the most common furnace failure point. They age and crack over time — and fail at the worst possible moment. A tune-up catches a weak igniter before it fails on a cold December night.
Sun City and Del Webb communities homes often have 2,500–4,000 sq ft of living space. A furnace struggling with dirty burners or a weak igniter will run longer cycles, driving up your APS bill and wearing out the system faster.
"Ken has been great to work with. We first contacted him for our maintenance service of our 20+ year old system. When the time came he made the process of purchasing and installing a new HVAC system seamless. Installers were on time, polite, clean and efficient."
— Kelly Rojo
"Ken and Kyle were prompt and very professional. Within 10 minutes they diagnosed the issue and explained the system thoroughly and answered all my questions."
