Furnace Services – Installation, Repair & Maintenance Service
Creating a comfortable environment goes beyond purchasing new furniture; there are more vital elements to consider, like the temperature inside your home. Whether considering a new furnace for a new home or replacing an existing one, several things are worth considering.
Furnace Installation or Replacement

- Reduce maintenance costs: You won’t require as many repairs or need to find outdated—and more expensive—original parts.

- Remove contaminants: Dust, pollen, viruses, and other pollutants are more effectively removed, improving indoor air quality and the well-being of your family.

Common Furnace Repair Issues:
Dirty filters are one of the most common issues. A clogged filter restricts airflow and makes the furnace work harder.
Malfunctioning thermostat: This can cause the furnace to produce unnecessary heat or not heat enough when needed.
Clogged drain lines: A frequent problem in HVAC systems is where water buildup can damage the unit.
Ignition issues: A faulty ignition system prevents the furnace from starting correctly.
Cracked heat exchanger: This is a serious safety concern, as a cracked heat exchanger can release carbon monoxide into the air.
Blower motor problems: Issues like worn bearings, faulty capacitors, or a broken fan belt can affect the blower motor’s function.
Frequent cycling: The furnace turns on and off rapidly due to restricted airflow, often caused by blocked vents.
Tripped circuit breaker: An overloaded circuit can cause the breaker to trip, preventing the furnace from starting.
Lack of maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent many common furnace problems.
Pilot light issues: In furnaces with a pilot light, a faulty pilot can lead to ignition problems
Benefits of Furnace Maintenance Service
Safety Improvement & Danger Detection: Furnace systems use fuel to produce heat. Regular maintenance decreases the chance of dangerous leaks and malfunctions that could put your family and home at risk.
Saving Money: Well-maintained furnaces run more efficiently and use less fuel, meaning lower utility or fuel bills.
Longer System Life: Furnaces that get regular maintenance naturally last longer. These systems aren’t cheap, so a longer-lasting system allows you to avoid purchasing a new system, saving you money in the long run. Routine tune-ups can add as much as five years to the life span of your furnace!
Greater Capacity: Operating with greater efficiency means your furnace has improved ability, making it easier to meet your home’s heating requirements.
