FAQs
Why is preventative furnace maintenance important for homeowners in Erwin?
Regular maintenance helps your furnace run safely and efficiently, lowers monthly energy bills, extends equipment life, and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns—especially useful during Erwin’s chilly mountain winters when you rely on steady heat.
How often should I schedule a furnace tune-up?
We recommend a professional inspection and tune-up once a year, ideally in early fall before you turn the system on for the season. Consistent annual service keeps your manufacturer warranty valid and allows technicians to catch minor issues before they become costly repairs.
What is included in your preventative maintenance visit?
Our 18-point checklist covers cleaning or replacing the filter, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, calibrating the thermostat, checking electrical connections, testing safety controls, lubricating moving parts, cleaning the blower, measuring carbon-monoxide levels, and verifying proper airflow. You receive a written report with findings and any repair recommendations.
Will preventative maintenance lower my energy bills?
Yes. A well-maintained furnace can operate up to 20 % more efficiently than a neglected one. Cleaning burners, adjusting gas pressure, and ensuring proper airflow reduce the amount of fuel or electricity your system needs to keep your Erwin home comfortable.
How long does a maintenance appointment take and do I need to be home?
Most visits take 60–90 minutes. We do ask that an adult be present to grant access and review the final report. If you have a busy schedule, we offer two-hour arrival windows and can call or text 30 minutes before we arrive.
What happens if the technician finds a problem during maintenance?
If we discover worn parts, safety issues, or efficiency concerns, the technician will explain the issue, show you the affected component, and provide upfront repair pricing. With your approval, many minor repairs can be completed on the same visit, ensuring your furnace is ready for Erwin’s winter weather without the need for a follow-up appointment.
