FAQs
Why is an annual furnace tune-up important for homes in Crab Orchard?
Crab Orchard winters can be damp and chilly, so your furnace often works long hours. A tune-up cleans and calibrates the system, preventing unexpected breakdowns, restoring lost efficiency, and catching safety issues such as cracked heat exchangers or high carbon-monoxide levels. Regular maintenance can cut heating costs by up to 15 %, extend equipment life, and keep your household safe and comfortable all season.
What does your Crab Orchard furnace tune-up service include?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist: • Inspect and clean burners, heat exchanger, and blower wheel • Test ignition and safety controls • Check and adjust gas pressure, airflow, and temperature rise • Lubricate moving parts and tighten electrical connections • Replace or clean standard air filter • Test thermostat accuracy and calibrate if necessary • Measure carbon-monoxide output and verify proper venting • Provide a written report with any recommendations. This comprehensive approach ensures maximum reliability and efficiency.
How often should I schedule furnace maintenance?
For most gas, oil, or electric furnaces the industry standard is once every 12 months. Manufacturers require yearly service to keep warranties valid, and local utility companies also recommend it for safety reasons. If you have pets, live in a dusty area, or suffer from allergies, you may benefit from a mid-season filter check as well, but one professional tune-up per year is sufficient for most Crab Orchard households.
Will a tune-up affect my manufacturer or extended warranty coverage?
Yes—in a good way. Almost every major furnace manufacturer specifies “annual professional maintenance” in the warranty terms. Skipping service can void coverage if a part fails later. Our tune-ups are performed to factory specifications, and you’ll receive documented proof of service that you can show the manufacturer or warranty company if a claim ever arises.
How long does a furnace tune-up take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential tune-ups take 60 to 90 minutes. We schedule two-hour arrival windows, call when we’re on the way, and wear protective shoe covers in your home. An adult needs to be present to grant access and review findings, but you don’t have to hover—feel free to work from home or run quick errands nearby while we work. If any repairs are needed, we’ll discuss options and pricing before proceeding.
Can a tune-up really lower my heating bills?
Absolutely. Dust buildup, loose electrical connections, and improper gas pressure all force a furnace to work harder, using more energy. After a thorough tune-up, airflow is restored, combustion is optimized, and components run smoothly, often reducing energy consumption by 10–15 %. Many Crab Orchard customers see the maintenance cost offset by utility savings within the same heating season.
