FAQs
Why is an annual furnace tune-up important for homes in Kelso?
Kelso sees damp, chilly winters that force your furnace to run for long stretches. A yearly tune-up keeps the system clean, safe, and operating at peak efficiency, which means fewer mid-season breakdowns, lower utility bills, and better indoor air quality. Regular maintenance also protects you from carbon-monoxide risks and keeps manufacturer warranties valid.
What exactly is included in your furnace tune-up service?
Our certified technicians perform a 20-plus-point inspection that covers: cleaning burners and heat exchangers, checking gas pressure, tightening electrical connections, calibrating the thermostat, lubricating moving parts, inspecting the flue and venting, testing safety controls, replacing or washing the air filter, and measuring overall system efficiency. You receive a written report and recommendations before we leave.
How long does a typical tune-up appointment take?
Most residential furnaces can be fully inspected and serviced in 60–90 minutes. If we discover issues such as a failing igniter or heavily soiled blower assembly, we’ll discuss repair options on-site. We schedule two-hour arrival windows and call or text en route, so you’re never left waiting all day.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A clean, properly adjusted furnace can operate up to 15% more efficiently than a neglected one. Removing soot and debris improves heat transfer, while calibrated gas pressure and airflow reduce the time your system has to run. Over the course of Kelso’s heating season, that translates into meaningful savings and less wear on components.
Can you service every furnace brand and heat-pump hybrid system found in Kelso homes?
Absolutely. Our technicians are factory-trained and carry common OEM parts for major brands such as Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, Goodman, York, and Daikin. We also maintain dual-fuel systems that combine a furnace with a heat pump. If a unit is still under manufacturer warranty, we’ll follow the required procedures so your coverage remains intact.
When should I schedule my tune-up, and how do I book an appointment?
The ideal time is early fall—September through October—before overnight temperatures in Kelso consistently drop. You’ll avoid the winter rush and have plenty of time for any recommended repairs. Booking is easy: call our office, use the online scheduler 24/7, or request service through our mobile app. We offer convenient financing options and maintenance plans that lock in priority scheduling and discounts on repairs all year.
