Professional Furnace Maintenance Services in Sweetwater, TN

Pre-Season Maintenance Timing and Scheduling

The best time to schedule furnace maintenance is September through October, before heating season begins. Pre-season maintenance gives us time to identify and address any problems before you depend on your furnace.

• Before cold weather — Schedule before temperatures drop and service calls increase
• Time for repairs — If we find problems, we can repair them without rushing
• Parts availability — Less demand means parts are in stock for timely repairs if needed
• System ready — Your furnace will be completely ready when cold weather arrives
• Avoid Sudden Failures — A well-maintained furnace won't fail on the coldest night
• Better availability — We have more appointment availability in fall than winter

DIY Maintenance Between Professional Visits

While professional maintenance is essential, you can help keep your furnace operating well by performing simple maintenance tasks between professional visits:

Monthly during heating season:

• Check your air filter — Visually inspect it and replace if extremely dirty
• Inspect furnace area — Keep the space around your furnace clear of boxes, clutter, and obstruction
• Listen for unusual sounds — Note any new banging, rattling, or squealing
• Monitor thermostat — Verify your thermostat is reading temperature correctly
• Check return air vents — Ensure vents aren't blocked by furniture, curtains, or closed doors
• Observe flame or ignition — If you can safely see the furnace firing, observe that ignition looks normal

Quarterly during heating season:

• Replace your air filter — Most filters should be changed monthly during winter heating season
• Verify airflow — Feel that warm air is coming from all vents and there are no cold spots
• Listen for operation changes — Note if furnace sounds different than usual
• Check thermostat batteries — If programmable, verify batteries aren't failing

Spring before heating season ends:

• Final filter replacement — Change filter one last time before summer
• Clean return air vents — Vacuum vents and surrounding areas
• Schedule fall maintenance — Put your pre-season maintenance appointment on the calendar
• Document any issues — Note any problems you observed during the season
