FAQs
Why is a regular furnace tune-up important for homes in Maynardville?
Union County winters can swing from mild afternoons to freezing nights. A yearly tune-up keeps your furnace prepared for those temperature drops by cleaning burners, tightening electrical connections, and checking safety controls. This reduces the risk of mid-season breakdowns, helps the system run more efficiently, and extends equipment life—saving Maynardville homeowners money on emergency repairs and early replacements.
What does your furnace tune-up service include?
Our certified technicians follow a 20+ point checklist. We inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, clean and adjust burners, calibrate the thermostat, replace or wash the air filter, oil moving parts, test the ignition system, measure carbon-monoxide levels, verify gas pressure, and check ductwork airflow. Before we leave, you receive a written report explaining the furnace’s condition and any corrective recommendations.
How often should I schedule furnace maintenance?
For most gas and electric furnaces, manufacturers recommend professional maintenance once every 12 months. Scheduling in early fall gives you time to address any issues before cold weather arrives. If you have pets, a dusty home, or an older system (15+ years), consider a spring and fall visit to maintain peak performance.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dust buildup, loose electrical components, and incorrect gas pressure can reduce a furnace’s efficiency by 5–15 %. A tune-up restores factory settings so the unit doesn’t have to run as long to reach your thermostat set-point. Many Maynardville customers see the service pay for itself through lower utility bills during the first heating season.
How long does the appointment take and do I need to be home?
A standard tune-up lasts 60–90 minutes. Plan for extra time if we discover issues that need immediate repair. We do ask that an adult be present to grant access to the furnace, thermostat, and electrical panel, and to authorize any additional work. If you have a smart lock or garage code we can accommodate special arrangements—just let our office know when booking.
Is a furnace tune-up covered by my manufacturer warranty or maintenance plan?
Most manufacturers require annual professional service to keep your warranty valid, but the tune-up itself is usually not free. If you enrolled in our Comfort Club maintenance plan, one furnace tune-up per year, priority scheduling, and labor discounts are included. Ask our team to check your warranty or plan details so you know exactly what’s covered.
