Heating Tune-Up
Heating Tune-Up, $149 Flat
A complete inspection, cleaning, performance test, and combustion safety check on your furnace, boiler, heat pump, or mini-split. About 90 minutes on site. Written report with photos within 24 hours.
The Important Part
The Most Important Thing We Check Is Whether It's Safe
A cracked heat exchanger leaks carbon monoxide into your home. So does a gas valve that's miscalibrated, a flue that's separating, or a burner that's been pulling combustion air through dust and spider webs all summer.
The single most important reason to do an annual heating tune-up is to verify the system is safe to run.
On every gas or oil furnace tune-up we test ambient carbon monoxide before we open the unit, inspect the heat exchanger with a mirror and high-output flashlight, run the burner with a calibrated combustion analyzer, and test ambient CO again at the end. We measure exact numbers, not vibes.
If we find a cracked heat exchanger, dangerous CO levels, or a venting defect, we red-tag the system and walk you through options. We don't leave a customer with an unsafe combustion appliance running.

The Price
Flat Rate. No Add-Ons. No Surprises.
Most heating tune-up ads end with an asterisk. The asterisk is usually a truck charge, a diagnostic fee, or both, stacked on top of the headline price.
We don't do that. The $149 is the price you pay. It includes the filter, the full inspection, the combustion safety check, the report, and the 90 minutes on site.
If we find something during the visit that needs a repair, we show it to you, explain it, and quote it before doing any work. You decide what happens next. The tune-up itself stays $149 either way.

Why It Matters
Why a Yearly Heating Tune-Up Is Worth It
Heating systems run the hardest on the coldest nights. That's also when most breakdowns happen, because the system has been sitting all summer with dust on the burner and a slowly clogging flame sensor. A yearly tune-up catches those small things before they leave you with a cold house at 2 a.m. in February.
Safety First
Combustion appliances need to vent properly and burn cleanly. We measure carbon monoxide before, during, and after the visit. We inspect the heat exchanger every year. If something is wrong, you'll know before you have a problem, not after.
Lower Fuel Bills
A clean burner, fresh filter, and properly adjusted gas pressure mean the system delivers more heat per unit of fuel. Most homes see a measurable drop in heating bills after a tune-up.
Fewer No-Heat Calls
The flame sensor, pressure switch, and ignitor are the parts that fail most often. We service or replace them at every visit if they're showing wear. That's the difference between a working furnace in February and a 2 a.m. emergency call.
After the Visit
What You'll Have in Hand
A written Equipment Health Report
Photos, exact combustion numbers, and a pass-flag-fail call on every major component including the heat exchanger. Emailed within 24 hours of the visit.
A safety verdict on your furnace or boiler
In writing. With the carbon monoxide readings to back it up.
An honest assessment of your system's age and remaining life
No fear-selling.
Clear recommendations
For anything that needs attention now, soon, or just to keep an eye on. Each one with a flat-rate price so you can decide.
A fresh standard pleated filter installed
Standard 1" or 2" sizes are included on forced-air systems.
A 90-minute visit, on time
We send a heads-up text on the way. If we ever run late, we tell you the moment we know.
On the Record, On Purpose
We record every service visit. It gives us an accurate audio log of what we found and what we discussed with you, including any combustion safety findings. The recording stays in our records and isn't shared. The technician will mention the recording when they arrive at the door. If you'd rather we not record, just say so and we'll stop.

Maintenance plans starting at $29/month

Common Questions
Heating Tune-Up FAQ
About 90 minutes on site. Most of the time is the actual inspection, combustion testing, and cleaning. We don't rush a safety check.
A tune-up is preventive maintenance, scheduled in advance, flat $149. A service call is when something is broken and you call us to come diagnose and fix it. Service calls have a separate truck charge and diagnostic fee. The two are billed differently.
Not on a tune-up. The $149 is the all-in price. Truck charge and diagnostic fee only apply to service or repair calls.
We shut the system down on the spot and red-tag it. We document the finding on your Equipment Health Report with photos, walk you through what it means, and quote replacement options. We won't leave a furnace with a cracked heat exchanger running.
Yes. Same $149 flat rate per system. Oil furnaces and boilers have a few extra steps in the procedure (nozzle replacement on oil, water-side checks on boilers), all included in the price.
Yes. The heating tune-up scope covers heat pumps in heating mode, including reversing valve verification, defrost cycle testing, and auxiliary heat staging. Same $149 per system.
Late summer through early fall is ideal. The system has been sitting all summer, so we want to catch any issues before you actually need the heat. We service through the winter too, and we'll prioritize active no-heat calls over scheduled tune-ups when needed.
Call or text 631-209-7090. We don't have online booking yet because our schedule depends on tech availability that varies day to day. A two-minute call gets you on the books faster than a form would anyway.
