FAQs
Why should I schedule a furnace tune-up in Cleveland?
Greater Cleveland faces long, humid summers and bitterly cold, lake-effect winters. A fall tune-up ensures your furnace operates safely and efficiently before the first deep freeze hits. Technicians check for carbon-monoxide leaks, worn parts, and airflow issues so you avoid mid-winter breakdowns, higher utility bills, and potential safety hazards.
What does a professional furnace tune-up include?
A comprehensive visit typically covers: cleaning and adjusting burners, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, testing carbon-monoxide levels, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, checking and calibrating the thermostat, measuring temperature rise and gas pressure, replacing or cleaning the air filter, verifying proper ignition and flame sensor operation, and inspecting the flue and venting for obstructions. You receive a written report with any repair recommendations.
How often should I have my furnace serviced in Northeast Ohio?
For most gas furnaces, the U.S. Department of Energy and major manufacturers recommend annual maintenance. Because Cleveland’s heating season can last six months or more, yearly service—ideally in early fall—helps maintain efficiency, extends equipment life, and keeps warranties intact.
Can a tune-up really lower my heating bills?
Yes. Dirty burners, clogged filters, and improper airflow force a furnace to run longer to reach the set temperature. A tuned system can operate up to 10–15% more efficiently, translating to noticeable savings on Dominion Energy utility bills. Plus, early detection of issues prevents costly emergency repairs.
How long does a furnace maintenance visit take?
Most standard tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. Older equipment, units that have not been serviced in several years, or systems needing minor repairs may take a bit longer. Our technicians arrive within a convenient appointment window, explain their findings, and leave your home as clean as they found it.
Will a tune-up keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Almost all furnace manufacturers—including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, and Goodman—require documented annual maintenance to preserve parts and heat-exchanger coverage. Skipping yearly service can give the manufacturer grounds to deny a future claim. Our tune-up includes digital records you can provide for warranty proof.
