What is a Professional Furnace Tune-Up?


It's a comprehensive, multi-point inspection and cleaning.

  • Clean Critical Components: We clean the furnace burners, the flame sensor, and the blower motor. A clean system is an efficient system.
  • Test All Safety Switches: We test the high-limit switch and other safeties to ensure your furnace will shut off properly if it overheats.
  • Inspect the Heat Exchanger: This is the most important safety check. A cracked heat exchanger can leak deadly, odorless carbon monoxide into your home. We perform a visual inspection to look for cracks.
  • Test Ignition & Operation: We test the ignitor or pilot light and monitor a full heating cycle to ensure every component is working in harmony.

The Benefits of an Annual Tune-Up


  • Safety: The carbon monoxide check is a non-negotiable part of home safety.
  • Prevent Breakdowns: We catch failing parts before they break on the coldest night of the year.
  • Lower Bills: A clean, tuned-up furnace runs more efficiently, saving you money on your heating bills.
  • Longer Lifespan: A well-maintained furnace can last 5-10 years longer than a neglected one.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • How often do I need a furnace tune-up? You should have your furnace professionally tuned up once per year, in the fall, before the heating season begins.
  • Is this the same as an air duct cleaning? No, but they work together. A tune-up cleans the "engine" (the furnace), while an air duct cleaning cleans the "highways" (the ducts). We often recommend doing them at the same time.
  • My furnace is only 3 years old. Do I still need this? Yes. Most manufacturers' warranties are void if you cannot prove you've had annual professional maintenance.
  • Do you have carbon monoxide detectors? A tune-up is the best way to prevent carbon monoxide from being created. However, you should also have working CO detectors on every level of your home.

Birmingham, MI Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

The area comprising what is now the city of Birmingham was part of land ceded by Native American tribes to the United States government by the 1807 Treaty of Detroit. However, settlement was delayed, first by the War of 1812. Afterward the Surveyor-General of the United States, Edward Tiffin, made an unfavorable report regarding the placement of Military Bounty Lands for veterans of the War of 1812. Tiffin's report claimed that, because of marsh, in this area "There would not be an acre out of a hundred, if there would be one out of a thousand that would, in any case, admit cultivation." In 1818, Territorial Governor Lewis Cass led a group of men along the Indian Trail. The governor's party discovered that the swamp was not as extensive as Tiffin had supposed. Not long after Cass issued a more encouraging report about the land, interest quickened as to its suitability for settlement.
