Keep Your Home Warm, Safe, and Efficient All Winter Long
Regular furnace maintenance is essential for keeping your home safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient. A well-maintained furnace runs more smoothly, uses less energy, and is far less likely to break down on the coldest days of the year. Routine tune-ups help identify small issues—like worn parts, dirty components, or improper airflow—before they turn into expensive repairs or emergency calls. In short, taking care of your furnace now can extend its lifespan, lower your utility bills, and give you peace of mind all season long.

Don’t Get Left Out in the Cold
Planning ahead with a regularly scheduled maintenance plan gets your home and heating system ready for the rigors of winter. Schedule your maintenance service before the weather arrives. Or face the possibility of:
Cold Air Blowing
What’s worse than cool air blowing from the heating vents on a frigid winter morning? An unreliable furnace can mean it’s time to consider a modern update.
Furnace Won’t Start Up
Anything from a tripped breaker to a faulty thermostat or the pilot light being out can result in a frigid home quickly when the temperature drops. The good news is, we have seen it all, and we can be there within hours to solve the problem.
Uneven Heating
If some rooms are warm and others are cold, it could be an indication the furnace is no longer capable of heating the full house, or incorrect ductwork is making the task overly challenging for the furnace.
Frequent Cycling
If the furnace frequently starts and stops, this could be an indicator of overheating, pressure switch issues or flame sensor issues. On older furnaces, a weak pilot light can also cause this to occur.

More Questions? We’ve Got the Answers
Nobody wants to be left out in the cold when it comes to maintaining your home’s critical systems. Here are some commonly asked questions about how to keep your home’s heating system in top shape.
How often should I have my furnace serviced?
We recommend scheduling a professional furnace maintenance tune-up once a year, ideally before the heating season begins. This helps ensure your system is running efficiently and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
Can I perform furnace maintenance myself?
While you can change the air filter and ensure the area around your furnace is clear, it’s best to leave the more technical aspects of furnace maintenance—like cleaning components and checking gas connections—to a licensed professional.
How do I know if my furnace needs professional maintenance?
Signs that your furnace may need professional attention include unusual noises, frequent cycling on and off, weak airflow, rising energy bills, or inconsistent heating.
Why is furnace maintenance important?
Regular maintenance helps keep your furnace running efficiently, extends its lifespan, and reduces the risk of costly repairs. It also ensures your furnace operates safely, preventing potential issues like gas leaks or carbon monoxide buildup.
How can I improve the efficiency of my furnace?
To improve efficiency, keep your filters clean, ensure proper airflow, seal any leaks in ducts, and schedule annual tune-ups. Additionally, using a programmable thermostat can help reduce energy consumption.
How often should I replace my furnace filter?
It’s recommended to check and replace your furnace filter every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter and usage. Dirty filters restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and can cause your furnace to overheat.
Can a dirty furnace filter affect performance?
Yes, a clogged filter restricts airflow, causing your furnace to work harder and use more energy. It can also lead to overheating and potential system failure.
What should I do if my furnace is making strange noises?
Strange noises like banging, rattling, or squealing could indicate mechanical issues. It’s best to have a professional inspect your system to prevent further damage or safety concerns.
Can I prevent furnace breakdowns?
While no system is completely immune to failure, regular maintenance is the best way to minimize the risk of breakdowns. A well-maintained furnace is less likely to experience unexpected issues.
Does furnace maintenance affect my warranty?
Yes, many manufacturers require annual maintenance to maintain the warranty. Skipping maintenance could void your warranty, leaving you responsible for future repair costs.
