Explore our signature 22-point furnace tune-up below. We verify that our technicians spend at least one hour at your home to ensure every point is thoroughly executed—securing your comfort for the rest of winter. Plus, upon completion of your tune-up, you’ll qualify for a free service call to use anytime through the end of March!
We use specialized equipment to ensure your furnace isn't releasing odorless, colorless gases into your home. This is our most important safety check for your family's protection.
We verify that the area surrounding your unit is clear of flammable materials. Maintaining proper clearance is essential for fire prevention and safe equipment operation.
Our team checks for leaks, blockages, or deterioration in the flue and exhaust pipes. Proper venting ensures that combustion byproducts are safely directed out of your home.
We verify that all internal safety switches are responsive. These controls are designed to shut down the unit instantly if a problem is detected, preventing damage or hazardous conditions.
Whether you have a pilot light or electronic ignition, we test the system to ensure a reliable start. This prevents "delayed ignition" noises and mid-winter heating failures.
We check for frayed, cracked, or overheated wires within the furnace. Addressing worn wiring early prevents blown fuses and expensive control board failures.
We perform a meticulous inspection of the heat exchanger. Finding small cracks or rust spots early is critical to preventing carbon monoxide leaks and ensuring the integrity of the unit.
We check the blower wheel and housing for balance and debris. A healthy blower ensures that the heat produced by your furnace is actually delivered to your living spaces.
A dirty blower works harder and uses more electricity. We clean and tune the assembly to ensure smooth, quiet operation and maximum airflow efficiency.
Dust buildup inside the cabinet can become a fire hazard or clog sensitive parts. We remove accumulated debris to keep the internal components pristine and functioning correctly.
We remove soot and oxidation from the burners to ensure a clean, efficient burn. Properly adjusted burners save you money on monthly gas bills and reduce system strain.
We verify that your thermostat is communicating accurately with your furnace. Proper calibration ensures your home stays at the exact temperature you set without wasting energy.
By testing the electrical draw of your motors, we can identify parts that are near the end of their lifespan. This allows for proactive repairs before a total breakdown occurs.
To prevent friction and mechanical wear, we apply high-grade lubricant to all applicable bearings and motors. This helps your furnace run quieter and last years longer.
Vibrations from normal operation can loosen wiring over time. We secure all terminals to ensure a stable flow of power and prevent intermittent system "ghost" issues.
Incorrect gas pressure can lead to high energy bills or equipment overheating. We dial in the pressure to manufacturer specifications for the safest, most efficient fuel burn.
We polish and test the sensors that monitor your furnace flame. A clean assembly ensures your furnace stays lit when you need it and shuts down safely when you don't.
We provide and install a brand-new air filter at no additional charge to restore proper airflow. A fresh filter is the best way to protect your furnace from strain and significantly improve your home’s indoor air quality for the rest of winter.
We wipe down the outer cabinet to remove dust and grime. A clean unit is easier to inspect and helps keep your mechanical room or closet looking professional and well-maintained.
By measuring the "temperature rise," we confirm that your furnace is transferring heat effectively. This test proves that the system is operating within its optimal performance window.
For high-efficiency units, we clear the drain lines to prevent water backups. This prevents internal rust and protects your home from potential water damage or leaks.
We observe a full start-to-finish cycle to ensure everything is working in harmony. This final verification guarantees your system is ready to provide reliable comfort for the rest of winter.
