Combustion Checks and Why They Matter
Your gas furnace burns fuel just a few feet away from the air you breathe and is secured by the heat exchanger that separates the gas from your air supply. When there’s a crack you won’t know as the furnace continues to run. That’s why the CO test and draft check are so important although cheaper tune-up services tend to skip it because it takes time. We don’t cut corners on anything, especially when it comes to home safety and will go through all the necessary steps to save you from a real emergency. Our maintenance visits also work because we have in-house plumbing and electrical experts so you don’t have to worry about multiple phone calls after the fact.
Chesterfield, MO Furnace Maintenance Schedule
The type of furnace you have warrants how often you should call for maintenance. Here’s a helpful guide:
- Gas or electric furnaces: Once a year before the winter
- Heat pumps: twice a year before the seasons change over

Fall is ideal because the first hard freeze is usually when overlooked problems tend to surface all at once. And it’s also when we get the most calls for Chesterfield furnace maintenance. Scheduling early buys you real time and saves on emergency calls.
Furnace Maintenance And Your Warranty
Most manufacturer warranties want you to document annual maintenance and if you skip it a few times that means paying out of pocket.
