When your heating system fails, you need a swift and effective solution. We prioritize accurate diagnostics to ensure we fix the problem correctly the first time.

Professional Heating Installation and Replacement

Choosing and installing a new heating system is a significant investment in your property. We guide you through the process with a focus on finding the perfect fit for your home's size, your energy goals, and your budget. It may be time to consider a replacement if your current system is over 15 years old, requires frequent and costly repairs, or is no longer heating your home effectively.

We provide a full consultation to explain all available options, including high-efficiency furnaces, versatile heat pumps, and state-of-the-art Mitsubishi Ductless systems. Our installation process is meticulous, ensuring every component is set up for optimal performance, longevity, and safety from day one.

Preventative Heating Maintenance for Peak Performance

The single most effective way to ensure your heating system is reliable, efficient, and long-lasting is through regular preventative maintenance. A professional tune-up prepares your system for the demands of the cold season, preventing unexpected breakdowns and optimizing energy use. The benefits are clear: improved efficiency leads to lower utility bills, a well-maintained system has an extended lifespan, and potential safety hazards are identified and corrected.

Our comprehensive heating tune-up is a detailed process that goes far beyond a simple filter change. Our maintenance checklist includes:

• Thorough System Inspection:
  • Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion.
  • Check and tighten all electrical connections.
  • Examine and test safety controls and limits.
  • Inspect the blower motor, wheel, and housing.
  • Verify thermostat calibration and operation.
  • Inspect ductwork for visible leaks or damage.
• Detailed Cleaning Process:
  • Clean burners and pilot assembly.
  • Clean or replace the air filter.
  • Clean the flame sensor for reliable ignition.
  • Clear the condensate drain line to prevent clogs and water damage.
• Performance and Safety Optimization:
  • Measure blower motor amperage and voltage.
  • Lubricate all moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
  • Test the ignition system for proper sequence and function.
  • Check gas pressure and adjust if necessary for safe, efficient operation.
  • Conduct a carbon monoxide test to ensure safe indoor air quality.

Heating Systems We Service

Our team has the expertise to service a wide variety of residential and commercial heating systems.

• Furnaces (Gas & Electric): As the most common heating solution, we have deep experience in repairing, maintaining, and installing all major brands of gas and electric furnaces.
• Heat Pumps: These versatile systems provide both heating and cooling. We are proficient in servicing these units to ensure they operate efficiently in both modes.
• Mitsubishi Ductless Mini-Splits: As Mitsubishi Ductless Experts, we specialize in these highly efficient systems. They offer room-by-room temperature control and are an excellent solution for additions, older homes without ductwork, or anyone looking to improve their energy efficiency.

The Tucson Climate Challenge: Why Maintenance Matters Here

The Sonoran Desert environment poses a unique threat to HVAC equipment. The fine dust and dry air can take a toll on your heating system's sensitive components.

• Dust Accumulation: Dust quickly clogs air filters, restricting airflow and forcing your system to work harder. It can also coat the blower wheel and internal components, reducing efficiency and leading to premature motor failure. Our maintenance service includes a thorough cleaning of these critical parts.
• Dry Air Effects: The arid climate can cause belts and other pliable components to become brittle and crack over time. Regular inspection during a tune-up allows us to identify and replace these parts before they fail.

Proactive maintenance is not just a recommendation in Tucson; it's a necessary step to protect your investment and ensure reliable comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my heating system serviced?‍

For optimal performance and to maintain system longevity, we recommend a professional heating tune-up once a year, ideally in the fall before you need to rely on it daily.

What are the signs my furnace might be failing?

‍Key warning signs include unusual noises (banging, squealing), a yellow pilot light (instead of blue), a noticeable increase in your energy bills, difficulty keeping your home warm, and the system frequently turning on and off. If your unit is over 15 years old, it's wise to start planning for a replacement.

Is it better to repair or replace my heating system?

‍This depends on several factors, including the age of the unit, the cost and frequency of repairs, and its overall efficiency. A good rule of thumb is if the cost of a repair is close to 50% of the cost of a new system, replacement is often the more economical long-term choice. We can provide a detailed assessment to help you make an informed decision.
