What maintenance should I have done on my furnace?

Other than changing your furnace filter every two months, we recommend having a licensed technician check over your furnace once a year. We offer an affordable residential maintenance program including a complete 19-point tune-up and safety inspection for the low price of $89 per year.

How often should I have maintenance done on my furnace?

HVAC system maintenance is critical when living in Michigan’s fluctuating temperatures. We recommend it once per year in the fall. Consistent maintenance ensures that your equipment is always running in tip-top shape and is going to get the most out of your system when you need it most.

What are the benefits of being a maintenance plan customer with HVAC comfort?

Maintenance plan customers get a visit from us twice a year to check your AC in the spring/summer months and your heating system or furnace in the fall/winter months. This ensures your units will run properly during the time of use. You will also get a 15% discount on all parts that might be needed throughout the year.

How can I prevent high furnace bills in the future?

In addition to routine furnace cleaning and maintenance, consider the furnace’s heat escape points. If your furnace is blowing warm air against a cracked wall or open window, close and seal these spaces to help keep heat in. If your home doesn’t have an insulated attic, walls, or floors, consider adding insulation.

How can I maintain a heater or furnace on my own?

Homeowners can maintain their heater or furnace between formal inspections by replacing your filter with a one- or two-inch filter every one to three months. For filters as thick as six inches, replace them every nine months to one year. If you know your furnace inside and out, you can also think about cleaning the system, including the combustion chamber, oil filter, and vents. Cleaning tasks require the right equipment and set of skills, though, so we recommend leaving these tasks to HVAC Comfort technicians.

How do I know if my furnace needs a repair in the near future?

HVAC Comfort’s furnace maintenance service ensures that your system is running efficiently, which extends the life of your unit. But if your furnace hasn’t been inspected in a while, it might experience problems in the future that may require more work than an inspection. Here are some signs that you need a repair 1. Unusual noises coming from your unit 2. Cold or limited air coming through the vents 3. Inexplicable increases in your utility bills

How long do furnaces last?

A furnace that gets regular maintenance will last about 15 to 20 years. Failing to commit to a yearly HVAC furnace maintenance may lead to a shorter furnace life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY ! They replaced my furnace. They had the best warranty, fastest response time and the work they performed was above my expectations! The estimator Chris did a great job of explaining my furnace options. The technicians they sent Victor and Jack were amazing. Why amazing .. they brought my gas line out with two shut off valves, they replaced my condensation line, they noticed my combustion intake line from my water heater was hanging from the ceiling and they fixed it. Non of this was on their scope of work and i was not charged for it. They just paid attention to detail !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had a great experience with HVAC Comfort Inc. We’d been having issues with our AC not working properly for some time. We called and they were able to send Chad out right away to inspect the system, even though it was the middle of a busy and hot summer season.

He inspected our system thoroughly and unfortunately found that not only did the most expensive part of the AC need to be replaced (the compressor), but our furnace was cracked and needed to be replaced as well.

Just a note to other reviewers who complain about the company turning off their furnace when the system is compromised: this is a state law. All HVAC companies are required to do this because if they don’t, they become liable in the event you experience carbon monoxide poisoning. Chad explained this to us.

He gave us the option of just replacing the compressor in the AC and the heat exchanger in the furnace but we broke down the cost together and found it more prudent to fully replace both systems. We didn’t want new parts running in an already very old furnace and AC unit. He showed us photos of the inside of the system which was indeed cracked and leaking.

As soon as we were approved for financing, they came out and spent the next day installing both systems. It was definitely pricey, but they offered us 0% interest for 5 years. We looked and the price was comparable to other businesses in the area. The two technicians working were very friendly and explained every step of the process. Whenever I had questions about financing, installation or anything, the main office was polite and helpful. Bonus: they’re a family-owned business.

Thank you all for making this process as quick and easy as can be!
