FAQs
Why should I schedule an annual safety inspection for my heating system in Grandview?
An annual inspection ensures that your furnace or heat pump is operating safely, efficiently, and in compliance with local Grandview building codes. Technicians look for carbon-monoxide leaks, gas or electrical hazards, and worn components that can fail during the winter. Regular inspections also help maintain manufacturer warranties, lower utility bills, and extend equipment life, ultimately saving you money and providing peace of mind.
What does your safety inspection include?
Our comprehensive 26-point inspection covers combustion analysis, heat-exchanger integrity, flue and venting, gas-pressure verification, electrical connections, safety-control testing, thermostat calibration, air-filter condition, blower and motor performance, and overall system airflow. We finish with a written report that details findings, photos, and any repair recommendations so you can make informed decisions before the heating season begins.
How can I tell if my furnace needs repair rather than just maintenance?
Warning signs include uneven heating, unexplained spikes in utility bills, frequent short cycling, unusual noises (bangs, squeals, rattles), persistent odors, or visible soot around vents. If your carbon-monoxide detector alarms, the system fails to start, or you notice yellow burner flames instead of blue, shut the unit off and call us immediately for repair service. Addressing issues early prevents larger breakdowns and safety risks.
How long does a typical heat repair visit take in Grandview?
Most diagnostic visits last 45–60 minutes. Minor repairs—such as replacing a flame sensor, ignitor, capacitor, or belt—can often be completed in the same visit and add another 30–60 minutes. If major parts like a blower motor or heat exchanger are required, we’ll give you a written quote and schedule return service, usually within 24–48 hours, depending on parts availability.
Are your technicians licensed, insured, and familiar with Grandview permit requirements?
Yes. All of our HVAC technicians are Missouri state-licensed, NATE-certified, and fully insured for liability and workers’ compensation. We stay up to date with Grandview’s mechanical codes and obtain any necessary permits for significant repairs or equipment replacements, ensuring your system meets all safety and efficiency standards and passes city inspections.
What can I do between inspections to keep my heating system safe and efficient?
Replace or clean your air filter every 1–3 months, keep supply and return vents clear, and maintain a three-foot clearance around the furnace. Test your carbon-monoxide detectors monthly and replace batteries twice a year. Place a programmable thermostat to avoid excessive cycling, and schedule professional service if you notice any changes in performance, noise, or odor. These simple steps reduce wear, improve indoor air quality, and help you detect problems early.
