Here’s what we cover during a heating maintenance appointment:
We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush through inspections. We give your heating system the attention it deserves.
Think of heating maintenance like an oil change for your furnace. You wouldn’t drive 10,000 miles without one—so why risk running your heating system all winter without a professional tune-up?
A breakdown at 2 AM in February is nobody's idea of fun. Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become big problems. A loose connection, a worn component, or a filter clogged with dust becomes visible during maintenance—not when your heat stops working.
Most furnace and boiler warranties require annual maintenance. We keep detailed records of every service we perform, so your warranty stays intact and your investment is protected.
Cracked heat exchangers, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide issues are serious. Our technicians are trained to spot these problems. We use specialized equipment to detect safety hazards that homeowners can't see.
We maintain furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and specialty heating systems. Whether you have a traditional gas furnace, a high-efficiency HVAC unit, or radiant floor heating, our technicians know how to keep it running.
Your furnace works hard from November through March. We service all furnace makes and models, from older units to the latest high-efficiency systems. Our heating technicians inspect burners, check for gas leaks, and ensure your system is firing properly.
Boilers require specific expertise. We check water pressure, inspect for leaks, and verify that your system is cycling properly. A well-maintained boiler lasts longer and runs more efficiently.
Heat pumps are becoming more popular in Wisconsin. We maintain both the heating and cooling components to ensure your system handles seasonal changes smoothly. If we find a repair issue during your visit, our team also handles heat pump repair in Madison directly.
We recommend annual heating maintenance in the fall. October is the sweet spot—it's before the heating season kicks in, but soon enough that any repairs we find can be scheduled at your convenience. If you haven't scheduled maintenance yet this season, don't wait. Winter weather can arrive suddenly. Call us now to book your heating tune-up.

A comprehensive heating maintenance appointment includes a full system inspection, filter replacement, thermostat calibration, fuel line checks, combustion analysis, and safety verification. We also lubricate moving parts, test electrical connections, and provide you with a detailed report of our findings. If we discover any issues, we’ll explain them in plain language and give you options before proceeding with repairs.
Most heating maintenance appointments take 1 to 2 hours, depending on your system’s age and condition. We’ll give you a timeframe when you book, and we arrive on schedule. Our goal is to be efficient without rushing.
Yes. A well-maintained furnace operates 10-15% more efficiently than a neglected system. If your annual heating bill is $1,200, that’s $120-180 in potential savings. The maintenance itself typically costs $150-300, so you break even in the first year and save money every year after.
We’ll show you exactly what we found, explain what it means, and present your options. Some issues need immediate attention. Others can wait until spring. We never make repairs without your approval.
Absolutely. New furnaces still need maintenance to stay under warranty and maintain efficiency. Most manufacturers require annual tune-ups. We’ll help you keep your investment protected.
Fall is ideal—typically September through November. If you’re reading this in winter and haven’t scheduled maintenance yet, call us. We can often fit emergency maintenance appointments within a few days.
