FAQs
How often should I schedule a furnace tune-up in Rockwood?
For most homes in the Rockwood area, we recommend a professional tune-up once a year—ideally in early fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance keeps your manufacturer warranty valid, maximizes efficiency, and lets us find small issues before they become costly mid-winter breakdowns.
What does your furnace tune-up service include?
Our certified HVAC technicians perform a 20-plus-point inspection that covers: cleaning or replacing the air filter, inspecting burners and heat exchanger for cracks, calibrating the thermostat, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, checking gas pressure and flame quality, testing safety controls, clearing condensate drains, and confirming proper airflow. You receive a written report with any findings or recommendations.
Why is a tune-up important before Rockwood’s winter?
Rockwood winters can swing between freezing nights and mild days, causing furnaces to cycle frequently. A tune-up ensures your system can handle these shifts without straining components. It also verifies carbon-monoxide safety, prevents surprise breakdowns during cold snaps, and can increase system efficiency by up to 15 %, saving you money on seasonal heating costs.
How long does a typical furnace maintenance visit take?
Most tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. The exact time depends on the furnace’s age, accessibility, and whether we discover issues that need additional attention. We schedule convenient appointment windows and arrive with the tools and common replacement parts to keep the visit as efficient as possible.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Cleaning burners, ensuring correct gas pressure, and replacing clogged filters all reduce the amount of fuel or electricity your furnace needs to reach the same temperature. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that well-maintained heating equipment can save 5–15 % on annual energy costs, and many Rockwood customers notice shorter run times and more even comfort right after service.
Do you offer maintenance plans for Rockwood homeowners?
Absolutely. Our Comfort Club Membership spreads the cost of two seasonal tune-ups (one furnace, one A/C) over easy monthly payments. Members receive priority scheduling, 15 % discounts on repairs, no overtime charges, and transferable coverage if you sell your home.
