Since 1976, we’ve provided comprehensive heating maintenance services that keep furnaces and heating systems running at peak efficiency, helping homeowners avoid unexpected failures during the coldest days of the year.
Our experience serving the Front Range and Denver Metro area has taught us that proactive maintenance dramatically extends equipment lifespan while reducing energy consumption. With over 35 years of expertise in the ever-changing residential and light commercial market, we’ve seen firsthand how regular maintenance can prevent up to 95% of heating system failures.

Comprehensive Furnace Inspection Process
Every heating maintenance appointment begins with a detailed visual inspection of your entire system. We examine the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, check all electrical connections for signs of wear or overheating, and inspect the burner assembly for proper alignment and cleanliness. This meticulous approach allows us to identify potential issues before they develop into costly repairs. Our technicians measure gas pressure, test safety controls, and verify that your carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly, ensuring your family’s safety remains paramount.
During the inspection phase, we also evaluate your thermostat’s accuracy and calibration, examine ductwork connections for leaks or damage, and assess the condition of your air filter and blower assembly. We document all findings and provide detailed explanations of any concerns discovered. Our service technicians are continuously trained to better serve our customers, staying current with the latest heating technologies and maintenance techniques. This ongoing education ensures we can service all makes and models of heating equipment, from traditional gas furnaces to modern high-efficiency systems.
Critical Maintenance Tasks We Perform
- Cleaning and adjusting burners: We remove accumulated debris and ensure proper flame characteristics for optimal combustion efficiency
- Lubricating moving parts: All motor bearings and fan assemblies receive appropriate lubrication to reduce friction and wear
- Testing system controls: We verify proper cycling, ignition sequences, and safety shutdown procedures
- Checking refrigerant levels: For heat pump systems, we ensure refrigerant charge meets manufacturer specifications
- Inspecting electrical components: We test capacitors, measure amp draws, and tighten all electrical connections
- Calibrating thermostats: We ensure accurate temperature readings and proper system communication
Beyond these essential tasks, we clean or replace air filters as needed, clear condensate drains to prevent water damage, and test all safety switches and limit controls. Each maintenance visit includes measuring temperature rise across the heat exchanger and adjusting blower speeds for optimal airflow. We also inspect venting systems for proper draft and clearance, ensuring combustion gases safely exit your home.
Benefits of Regular Heating System Maintenance
Professional heating maintenance delivers measurable benefits that extend far beyond simple peace of mind. Energy efficiency improvements of 15-30% are common after proper maintenance, translating to significant savings on monthly utility bills. Regular maintenance also maintains your manufacturer’s warranty validity, as most heating equipment warranties require annual professional service. By catching small problems early, you avoid emergency repair costs that often come with overtime charges during peak heating season.
Indoor air quality improves substantially with regular maintenance, as clean filters and properly functioning systems reduce dust, allergens, and other airborne contaminants. System longevity increases dramatically with consistent care—well-maintained furnaces often exceed their expected lifespan by 5-10 years. As a family-owned and operated business, we understand the importance of protecting your investment in home comfort equipment. Our maintenance programs help ensure your heating system operates safely and efficiently for years to come.
Seasonal Timing and Maintenance Frequency
Optimal heating maintenance occurs in early fall, before the first cold snap demands continuous system operation. This timing allows for any necessary repairs or part replacements without the urgency of freezing temperatures. We recommend annual maintenance for most heating systems, though certain factors may warrant more frequent service. Homes with pets, smokers, or residents with allergies benefit from bi-annual maintenance visits. Older systems approaching 15-20 years of age also require more frequent attention to maintain reliability.
