FAQs
Why are precision furnace tune-ups important for Ducktown homeowners?
Ducktown experiences hot, humid summers and chilly, damp winters. A precision tune-up ensures your furnace and A/C operate at peak efficiency year-round, lowering utility bills by up to 15%, catching safety issues like cracked heat exchangers early, and extending equipment life so you avoid costly mid-season breakdowns.
What is included in your precision furnace tune-up service?
Our 20-point checklist covers a full combustion analysis, burner and flame sensor cleaning, inspection of heat exchanger and flue for cracks or corrosion, tightening of electrical connections, thermostat calibration, filter replacement, blower wheel cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and verification of proper airflow and gas pressure.
How often should I schedule a tune-up for my heating and air conditioning system?
We recommend one tune-up in the fall for your furnace and another in the spring for your air conditioner. Regular bi-annual maintenance keeps manufacturer warranties valid and ensures you’re ready for Ducktown’s weather swings.
Will a tune-up void my equipment warranty?
Quite the opposite—most furnace and A/C warranties require professional maintenance once a year. Our technicians document every service with model/serial numbers, readings, and corrective actions, so you have proof of compliance if you ever need to file a warranty claim.
How long does a furnace tune-up take, and do I need to be home?
A thorough furnace tune-up usually takes 60–90 minutes. We do ask that an adult (18+) be present to grant access, review findings, and approve any recommended repairs. If your schedule is tight, we offer a courtesy call or text 30 minutes before arrival.
What are the signs I might need a tune-up or repair sooner?
Call us right away if you notice uneven heating, unexplained spikes in energy bills, banging or whistling noises, frequent cycling, or a yellow pilot flame. These issues can signal airflow restrictions, failing components, or dangerous carbon monoxide leaks that require immediate attention.
