What precisely does qualified furnace maintenance entail?

To ensure proper furnace operation for the upcoming year, our technicians inspect, test, clean, and lubricate moving parts. In addition to many other things, this entails inspecting your heat exchanger for corrosion or cracks (which could cause dangerous CO leakage). In order to help you save money, we provide furnace maintenance plans.

When should a furnace be replaced?

To improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort, heating systems older than 15 years may be candidates for replacement. You might benefit from a furnace replacement if your energy costs are rising, your furnace is unusually noisy or smelly, or it is rusted or cracked. Our technicians may suggest that you allow us to install a new system as a more cost-effective option for you if a major repair is required.

What kind of furnace filter should I use?

Standard furnace filters keep your heating system clean, but to improve indoor air quality, you typically need a pleated media filter for airborne dust and particle filtration from your air supply. Before selecting a new type of furnace filter, be sure to speak with us because a filter that is "too effective" can obstruct the airflow in your furnace. We also provide additional air purification options for your house.
