Heating
We recommend annual furnace service before the heating season begins, typically in the fall. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends equipment life.
Common causes include thermostat issues, dirty filters, pilot light problems, or mechanical failures. Our technicians can diagnose and repair the issue quickly.
With proper maintenance, a furnace typically lasts 15-20 years. Factors affecting lifespan include maintenance frequency, usage, and equipment quality.
Cooling
Annual AC service in the spring is recommended. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring all components are working properly.
Common issues include low refrigerant, dirty filters, frozen coils, or compressor problems. We can diagnose the issue and provide repair options.
