We recommend a professional tune-up every fall, before nighttime temperatures drop into the 40s. Annual maintenance includes cleaning the flame sensor, checking gas pressure, testing carbon monoxide levels, inspecting the heat exchanger, and verifying thermostat operation. Regular service prevents 80% of mid-winter breakdowns and ensures safe operation.

Most of the time, yes. Common causes: a failed ignitor (gas furnace), a faulty flame sensor, or a tripped limit switch. For electric furnaces, it could be a bad heating element or sequencer. We’ll diagnose within minutes and give you an upfront repair cost. Most fixes take under an hour.

Yes — we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our rates are the same regardless of time or day. No “after-hours markup,” no weekend surcharges. If your furnace fails at 10 PM on a Saturday, call us. We’ll answer live and dispatch a technician.

We evaluate three things: age, repair cost, and safety. If your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair is less than half the cost of a new unit, we recommend repair. If the heat exchanger is cracked (a carbon monoxide risk) or the furnace is 18+ years with major failures, replacement may be better. We’ll give you the facts and let you decide — no pressure.

Our comprehensive tune-up: inspect and clean flame sensor, test ignitor, check gas pressure, measure carbon monoxide levels, inspect heat exchanger for cracks, test limit switches and safety controls, clean blower assembly, check thermostat calibration, and replace air filter. We also provide a written report with any recommendations.

Yes — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard, York, Bryant, and dozens of others. We also work on older units (15-20 years) as long as parts are available and repairs are cost-effective. We’ll be honest if a repair no longer makes financial sense.
