FAQs
Why does my Louisville home need a furnace tune-up every year?
Louisville’s four-season climate means your heating system sits idle all summer and then runs hard through damp, chilly winters. An annual tune-up removes summer dust, lubricates moving parts, checks safety controls, and verifies proper gas combustion. This keeps the furnace running efficiently, prevents mid-season breakdowns, and protects your family from carbon-monoxide risks.
What tasks are included in your Louisville furnace tune-up service?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist that covers: inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks; testing and calibrating the thermostat; cleaning burners and flame sensor; checking gas pressure and combustion efficiency; tightening electrical connections; lubricating motors and bearings; replacing or washing the air filter; verifying proper airflow and static pressure; inspecting venting and flue draft; and measuring system start-up and shutdown cycles.
When is the best time of year to schedule a furnace tune-up in Louisville?
The ideal window is late summer through early fall (August to October). You’ll beat the first cold snap, have more appointment flexibility, and ensure your furnace is ready before temperatures drop. If you’ve missed that window, it’s still wise to schedule a tune-up at any point during the heating season rather than skipping a year.
How long does a furnace tune-up take and will I need to be home?
Most tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. We ask that an adult homeowner or authorized representative be on-site so we can review findings, secure approval for any recommended repairs, and show you how the system performed on our diagnostic tests. We’ll call or text 30 minutes before arrival so you can plan your day.
Can a tune-up really lower my heating bills and prevent breakdowns?
Yes. A well-maintained furnace can operate up to 15% more efficiently, saving on natural-gas or electric bills. Cleaning burners and ensuring correct airflow reduces stress on critical components like the blower motor and ignitor, cutting the risk of emergency repairs. Utility studies show that for every $1 spent on preventative maintenance, homeowners save $3–$5 in avoided energy and repair costs.
What is the average cost of a furnace tune-up in Louisville and do you offer specials?
A standalone tune-up typically ranges from $89 to $129, depending on furnace type and age. We frequently run preseason specials that drop the price to as low as $69. Consider enrolling in our Comfort Club maintenance plan: for a low monthly fee you receive your annual furnace tune-up, an AC tune-up in the spring, priority scheduling, and discounts on any repairs throughout the year.
