What furnace cleaning actually involves in Los Gatos houses
Attic installs dominate the hillside tracts. The access hatch is usually a bedroom closet ceiling. Many are too narrow for a shop vacuum and a person. We stage the vac in the hall and run hose. Ask where your hatch is before anyone quotes you.
Almond Grove and downtown cottages kept their old ductwork. A gravity system got a forced-air furnace bolted under it. The trunks are large for the blower now. Dust drops out in the duct run instead of reaching the filter. Cleaning the furnace alone does not fix that.
Crawlspace units near the creek corridor run damp. Look at the burner shields with a flashlight. Orange scale on the face means flakes are falling into the crossover ports. Brushing clears it. Vented crawlspaces slow the return.
After a smoke season the residue is ash, not household lint. Ash conducts and sticks to the flame sensor rod. The symptom is ignition, then shutdown, then retry. People blame the thermostat. It is usually the sensor.
Some furnaces should not be cleaned at all. Heat exchanger cracks, rodent-chewed limit wiring, a return too small for the blower. We say so and stop. A brush does nothing for any of those.
