Signs You Should Schedule a Heating Tune-Up
While annual maintenance is recommended for all systems, certain warning signs indicate that your heating system may need a tune-up sooner rather than later.
Uneven or Weak Heating
Cold spots or low airflow can signal clogged components, blower issues, or developing system problems.
Higher Energy Bills
A sudden increase in heating costs often means your system is working harder due to wear, dirt buildup, or poor calibration.
Strange Noises
Grinding, rattling, banging, or whistling sounds commonly indicate loose parts, failing motors, or burner issues.
Yellow or Flickering Flame
A furnace flame should be blue. Any discoloration can signal combustion problems that require immediate attention.
Frequent System Cycling
If your heating system turns on and off more than usual, it may be struggling with thermostat issues, airflow restrictions, or worn components.
Unusual Odors
Burning smells, musty odors, or fuel-like scents can suggest buildup, overheating, or underlying mechanical problems.
It Has Been a Year or More Since Your Last Tune-Up
Skipping yearly maintenance reduces efficiency, increases the risk of failure, and may void manufacturer warranties.
Our technicians service a wide range of heating systems, including:
- Gas furnaces
- Electric furnaces
- Oil furnaces
- Boilers (gas, oil, and electric)
- High-efficiency and variable-speed systems
We are equipped to maintain both older units and the latest high-efficiency models.
