Heating Maintenance

A fall check before the first freeze

Furnace and electric heat cleaned, tested and adjusted each fall, so the system starts safely on the first cold night.

Heating Maintenance

Safer heat starts with a yearly inspection

A furnace sits idle all summer, then gets asked to run for hours the first week it turns cold. Dust settles on the burners and flame sensor, belts and bearings dry out, and a small crack or loose vent connection can go unnoticed for months. A fall tune-up is the one time each year someone looks inside the cabinet, cleans what needs cleaning and tests the parts that keep combustion gases out of your living space.

We check the burners, ignitor, flame sensor, heat exchanger, venting and blower, test the safety limits and look for carbon monoxide, then measure temperature rise and gas pressure. Book with our St. George & Hurricane team and ask for the $59 furnace tune-up.

  • Carbon Monoxide Check Venting and combustion tested on every gas furnace.

Overdue?

Signs your heating is overdue for service

None of these are emergencies yet. A tune-up keeps them from becoming one.

  • A Burning-Dust Smell

    A brief smell on the first run is normal; one that lingers isn’t.

  • Slow to Warm Up

    The house takes longer to reach temperature than it did last winter.

  • Delayed Ignition

    Several tries or a soft boom before the burners light.

  • New Rattles or Hums

    Noises from the blower compartment that weren’t there in spring.

  • Dusty Rooms

    More dust on furniture and vents once the heat starts running.

  • No Inspection Last Fall

    A year or more since anyone looked at the heat exchanger and venting.

What We Check

Inside a heating tune-up

Gas furnaces get the full combustion check; electric systems get element and wiring tests.

  • Burners & Ignition Burners, ignitor and flame sensor cleaned and tested for a clean start.
  • Heat Exchanger Inspection Checked for cracks, rust and signs of overheating.
  • Safety Controls High-limit, rollout and pressure switches tested to confirm they trip.
  • Venting & CO Flue connections checked and carbon monoxide levels measured.
  • Blower & Filter Blower cleaned, motor checked and the filter replaced or sized right.
  • Gas Pressure & Temperature Rise Measured against the manufacturer’s range so the furnace burns efficiently.

How It Works

Booking your fall tune-up

Most furnace tune-ups take about an hour.

  1. Book Before the Cold

    September and October are the easiest weeks to get on the calendar.

  2. Clean and Inspect

    We work through the checklist and test every safety control.

  3. See the Results

    You get the readings and a plain note on anything worth watching.

  4. Decide on Repairs

    Anything beyond the tune-up is priced first and left to you.

Heating maintenance questions

How often should a furnace be serviced?

Once a year, in early fall before you need it every day. Even where winters are mild, a furnace that sat idle all summer has to light on the first cold night, so that one visit carries a lot of weight. Pair it with a spring AC tune-up if you have central air and the whole system is covered.

Why does the carbon monoxide check matter?

A gas furnace burns fuel a few feet from the air you breathe, separated by the heat exchanger and the vent. A cracked exchanger or a disconnected flue can let carbon monoxide into the house without any smell. Testing for it each year, and keeping working CO alarms, is the simplest protection you have.

What’s in the $59 furnace tune-up offer?

It’s a seasonal inspection, cleaning and safety check on one furnace, for residential customers in St. George and Hurricane. It can’t be combined with other offers. See the furnace tune-up offer for the full terms, and mention it when you schedule.

Can I maintain my furnace myself?

You can and should change the filter every one to three months and keep the area around the furnace clear of storage. Burners, gas pressure, the heat exchanger and safety switches need a trained technician and proper instruments, so leave those to the yearly visit.

Do you service boilers too?

Boiler and radiant heat maintenance is handled by our Durango location, where hot-water heat is common in mountain homes. See boiler service and repair. Our St. George & Hurricane team services furnaces instead, and that is where the $59 tune-up applies.

*Offers cannot be combined with other promotions or applied to dispatch fees. No cash value. Must present offer at time of service. Call for details.
