Furnace Tune-Up and Safety Inspection in Centennial
A tune-up is the simplest way to lower the odds of a no-heat call on the first cold night of the season. Early fall is a good time to schedule, before demand picks up after the first snow. Technicians look at combustion, venting and the parts most likely to fail during a long Centennial winter.

Questions homeowners ask
How often should I tune up my furnace?
Many manufacturers recommend annual service. Check your warranty terms, since some require regular maintenance.
How often should I change my filter?
Check it monthly during heating season. Many 1-inch filters need changing every one to three months.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
Yes. Colorado law requires CO alarms near sleeping areas in many homes with fuel-burning appliances, for example when a home is sold or rented, and they are a cheap layer of protection.
