and shuts off more and more. When I poke the reset button, it fires up but with smoke pouring out of it. Will an annual tune up solve this problem? My guess is that it got super dirty this very cold winter and needs to be cleaned out real good. My company charges $129.00 for a tune-up but I don't know if they perform all the following tasks. If not should they???
A proper "tune-up" includes a thorough cleaning of the heat exchanger or boiler flue passages, cleaning and inspecting the flue pipe, inspecting the chimney, cleaning and adjusting the burner, replacing the nozzle and filter, cleaning and adjusting the blower (if forced-air) and finally and very importantly firing the unit and adjusting it using a combustion test kit. This should take 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
Thank you for you help.
