Nobody thinks about their furnace until it stops working, and by then it's usually the coldest night of the week. An annual furnace tune-up is the best way to avoid that call. Our NATE-certified HVAC technicians clean, test, and inspect every key part of your heating system, so small problems get fixed before they leave you without heat.
Skipping seasonal AC and heating system maintenance also quickly turns out to be more expensive than most people realize, once the costs of emergency repairs and crazy high heating bills add up. That's before you even get into additional issues like safety risks from carbon monoxide.
Thankfully, regular maintenance on your furnace is a small investment that protects your house, your wallet, and most importantly, your family.
Atlanta, Decatur, Tucker, and DeKalb County can get really cold on those harsh winter nights, and you don't want to leave your family's comfort to chance. We also serve the southern arc of Metro Atlanta with an office in McDonough, GA.
Don't wait for the first freezing night to find out your furnace has a problem. Call our Metro Atlanta area heating pros at (770) 818-6096, and let's get your heater tune-up on the calendar. We can also help with your water heater, heat pumps, and much more!
Our HVAC Services Include:
All told, there are a few key emergency heating system warning signs that could indicate you might have a real problem on your hands. Just a few of the things that you should be on the lookout for include, but are not limited to, things like:
- Odd or unusual noises. If you often hear loud banging, this could be a sign of a ductwork issue. If you hear high-pitched squealing, however, it's likely just a motor or belt problem.
- Off-putting Smells. Sometimes, there will be a normal burning smell during operation. This is likely just dust burning off. If you experience a persistent burning smell or a rotten-egg smell, this could be a sign of a gas leak. Leave the house immediately and call the gas utility company from a safe distance.
- Visual observations. When you observe it, your pilot light should always be a steady blue flame. If it's yellow or even flickering, this could be a sign of a carbon monoxide issue. Again, turn off your system and call a professional HVAC contractor immediately.
What Our Customers Say!
Why a Furnace Tune-Up Is Worth Doing Every Year
Furnaces rarely fail without giving you some kind of warning. Most breakdowns start as small issues like a dirty burner, a worn part, or a clogged filter, and a thorough inspection catches them while they're still inexpensive to fix. It also helps protect your warranty, since many manufacturers expect proof of regular HVAC system maintenance before they'll cover a claim.
And because simple upkeep can reduce heating bills by up to 10% according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the visit tends to pay for itself.
DIY vs. Professional HVAC Maintenance
When You Can Do It Yourself
When it comes to furnace tune-ups, some of the things you can feel free to safely do yourself include:
- Checking the thermostat. Make sure it cycles on and off and that it is functioning as intended.
- Replacing the air filter. Not only is this easy, but it's also the single most important thing a homeowner can do to keep their equipment running efficiently for as long as possible.
- Identifying the system switch/breaker. This will be located near the electrical box in your home. Knowing where it is and getting access to it quickly is the key to troubleshooting other issues that you might experience in the future.
Note that many of these will be covered during your annual furnace inspection or as a part of other HVAC repair work that you're doing, but it's still good to know how to do them. DIY furnace maintenance is a great way to save money, and it's also a part of HVAC preventative maintenance.
When You Should Leave it to the Pros
There are some issues with your heating and air conditioning system that you should absolutely not attempt under any circumstances. It's one thing to lubricate, check the burner, or make sure proper airflow is coming from the duct. It's another thing entirely to attempt some of the following with your heating system:
- Replacing the heat exchanger. Any actual work with the heat exchange will require special tools that you likely don't have, and training to spot cracks that could lead to carbon monoxide leaks.
- Checking and adjusting the firing ratio. This involves a lot of gas pressure and is something that you should never, under any circumstances, attempt to do yourself.
- Inspecting the electrical connections. Not only do you need a multimeter to attempt it in the first place, but the risk of shock is high even for trained professionals.
