Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Tune-Ups
What’s the difference between a tune-up and a repair?
A tune-up is preventative, like a car oil change. Repairs are reactive, fixing specific malfunctions.
How long does it take?
Typically, 60–90 minutes depending on system type, age, and any adjustments needed.
How can I prepare for the appointment?
Clear the area around your system, replace the air filter, and note any concerns to discuss with your technician.
Can a tune-up prevent all problems?
While it greatly reduces the risk of breakdowns, no service can prevent every issue—but it does maximize reliability and performance.
