FAQs
Why is an annual furnace tune-up important for Loudon homeowners?
Loudon’s damp, chilly winters force furnaces to work hard for months at a time. A yearly tune-up keeps the system clean, calibrated, and safe so it can handle the workload. Regular maintenance: • Prevents up to 80 % of unexpected breakdowns. • Improves energy efficiency by 5 – 15 %, lowering winter utility bills. • Protects your family by catching carbon-monoxide or gas-leak hazards early. • Maintains manufacturer warranty requirements, which almost always call for professional service once a year. Skipping tune-ups may seem like a money saver, but it usually leads to higher energy costs, expensive emergency repairs, and a shorter equipment life.
What does your Loudon furnace tune-up service include?
Our NATE-certified technician performs a 20-plus-point inspection and cleaning that covers every critical component of a gas or electric furnace: • Thermostat calibration and cycle test • Check and tighten all electrical connections • Inspect heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion • Clean burner assembly and ignition system • Measure and adjust gas pressure & combustion levels • Lubricate blower and motor bearings • Replace or clean standard air filter • Test safety controls and limit switches • Inspect flue draft and clear venting obstructions • Verify carbon-monoxide readings • Measure temperature rise and airflow to confirm factory specs A detailed report is left with you, and minor adjustments are made on the spot so your furnace is ready for the season.
When is the best time to schedule a furnace tune-up in Loudon?
Early fall—September through mid-October—is ideal because the weather is still mild, appointments are plentiful, and you’ll have the confidence your system is ready before the first cold snap. However, it’s never too late; even a mid-winter tune-up can boost efficiency and spot developing problems before they become costly repairs. We offer flexible weekday and Saturday slots to fit your schedule.
How long will the tune-up take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential tune-ups in Loudon take 60 to 90 minutes. We call or text 30 minutes before arrival, wear shoe covers, and protect work areas. You don’t need to be home the entire time—just provide access to the thermostat, furnace, and the electrical breaker box. When finished, we review findings and answer questions so you’re fully informed.
Can a furnace tune-up lower my heating bills during Loudon’s winter?
Yes. Dust buildup, incorrect gas pressure, and weak airflow make a furnace run longer to reach the same thermostat setting. EPA studies show a well-maintained system can save 5 – 15 % on heating costs. In dollar terms, a Loudon household spending $150 per month on heat could pocket $75-$225 over the season—often more than the price of the tune-up itself.
How much does a furnace tune-up cost and are there specials for Loudon residents?
Our standard tune-up is a flat $119 for gas or electric furnaces, with no overtime charges for evening appointments. Loudon residents can take advantage of: • $30 off for first-time customers who book online. • A discounted $89 rate for seniors, military, and first responders. • Our annual Comfort Club: $159 per year includes one heating and one cooling tune-up, priority scheduling, and 10 % off repairs.
