Heating FAQs

How do I know when it’s time to replace my system?

If your system is older than 10 years and in need of frequent repair, it’s probably time. Replacement should also be considered when major repairs are needed.

How often do I need to schedule system maintenance?

Routine maintenance should be done once a year. Most homeowners schedule service in early fall so their systems are ready for the upcoming winter, but it can be done at any time of the year. We recommend getting it done earlier in the year to get ahead of the late-season rush.

When do I need to change my air filter?

If you have a standard one-inch filter, replace it once every one to three months—or more often if you have pets or smokers in the house. High-efficiency filters can be changed less often—swap them out once every six to 12 months for best air quality.

How long does a typical furnace last?

With regular maintenance, an average furnace lasts anywhere from 15 to 20 years. However, that lifespan can vary depending on what type of furnace you have, how often you have it cleaned and checked, and how tough the winters have been.

Is there anything I can do to improve the energy efficiency of my home?

There are many factors that can affect the energy consumption of your home, including ductwork leakage and overall ductwork condition. We have ductwork and sheet metal capabilities and offer duct cleaning, duct sealing, air duct repair, and sheet metal installation for a variety of duct systems.
