FAQs
Why is an annual furnace tune-up particularly important in Palmer’s climate?
Palmer experiences long, cold winters where heating systems run for extended periods. An annual tune-up ensures your furnace is clean, properly calibrated, and operating safely before heavy use begins. This prevents mid-season breakdowns, improves heating efficiency, and helps maintain healthy indoor air quality in a region where homes stay closed up for months.
What exactly is included in your furnace tune-up service?
Our technician performs a 20-plus-point inspection and service that includes: cleaning or replacing the air filter; inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks; checking burners, flame sensor, and ignition system; lubricating moving parts; testing safety controls and carbon-monoxide levels; calibrating the thermostat; tightening electrical connections; measuring airflow and gas pressure; and verifying overall system efficiency. We finish with a written report and any recommendations for repairs or energy-saving upgrades.
How long does a tune-up take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most furnace tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. Because we schedule arrival windows and call ahead when we’re en route, you can plan your day with minimal interruption. Our technicians wear shoe covers, use protective floor mats, and clean up after themselves so you won’t be left with a mess.
Can a tune-up really lower my heating bills?
Yes. A well-maintained furnace can operate up to 15% more efficiently than a neglected one. Cleaning burners and airflow passages, replacing a clogged filter, and correctly adjusting gas pressure allow the unit to use less fuel to reach the same temperature. Over Palmer’s long heating season, those savings can add up to hundreds of dollars.
When is the best time to schedule a furnace tune-up in Palmer?
Early fall—September or October—is ideal. You beat the winter rush, have more appointment choices, and give yourself time to address any needed repairs before temperatures drop. However, if you missed the fall window, it’s still worthwhile to tune up your furnace anytime during the heating season.
Do you offer any specials or maintenance plans for furnace tune-ups?
Yes. We run pre-season discounts in the fall and offer an annual Comfort Club membership. Members receive a free furnace tune-up, priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and an air-conditioning check in the spring. The plan pays for itself with energy savings, reduced repair costs, and extended equipment life.
