Seasonal heating and cooling tune-ups
Cleaning, inspection, and performance checks on the furnace before winter and the air conditioner before summer, so each one goes into its season ready.

Preventive maintenance and tune-ups in Northwest Indiana
The cheapest repair is the one that never happens. A tune-up is a couple of hours that buys you a winter without surprises.
Straight Talk
Catch it in October, not at 2 AM in January
Almost every no-heat call we take in the dead of winter was a small, visible problem in the fall. A worn ignitor, a filthy blower wheel, a flame sensor going, a capacitor testing weak. Maintenance is simply looking at those things while there is still time to do something about it.

The Work
What a tune-up covers
The checks that separate a system that lasts from one that quits early.
Catching small issues early
Weak capacitors, worn ignitors, failing flame sensors, restricted airflow, and drain lines starting to clog. All cheap now, all expensive as an emergency call.
Efficiency and equipment life
A clean, correctly adjusted system uses less to do the same work and lasts longer doing it. Most of the efficiency people lose is lost to neglect, not to age.
An honest condition report
You get told what we found and where the system stands, including when it has good years left. We are not going to manufacture a reason to sell you a furnace.
Know The Signs
When to schedule a tune-up
The rhythm is simple: heating in the fall, cooling in the spring.
- 01
Before the first hard freeze, for the furnace
- 02
Before the first hot stretch, for the air conditioner
- 03
Any year the system has not been looked at, whatever the season
- 04
After you buy a house and inherit equipment with no history
- 05
When a system is getting older and you want to know where it stands
- 06
When your manufacturer warranty requires documented annual service
- 07
Before you leave a property empty for a stretch

Questions
Preventive Maintenance questions
Straight answers, no fine print. Anything not covered here, the phone is faster.
How often should I have my system serviced?
Once a year for each system is the normal rhythm: the furnace in the fall and the air conditioner in the spring. If you have a heat pump running year round, twice a year.
Is a tune-up really worth it?
The honest case for it is this: most emergency no-heat calls in January were a visible, inexpensive problem in October. A tune-up is when you get to find those.
How often should I change my filter?
For a standard one-inch filter, every one to three months, more often with pets or during heavy use. A clogged filter restricts airflow, which is behind a surprising number of service calls.
Do you offer maintenance for businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans for commercial buildings are set up around your operation and your equipment.
