Furnace & Heat Pump Maintenance in Gilbert, AZ

Your heater sits idle most of the year

In Gilbert the heat might run a couple of months a year. While it waits, dust settles on the burners and blower wheel, and igniters and capacitors age. Problems only show up the first time the heat comes on. A fall visit finds them before a cold morning does.

What a heating tune-up covers

• Gas furnace: we check the heat exchanger for visible damage, inspect the burners and igniter, test the safety controls and limit switches, verify airflow, and check the venting so exhaust leaves the house instead of coming back in.
• Heat pump: we test heating mode and the defrost cycle. It's the same equipment that cooled you all summer, but it runs differently in winter.
• Either system: thermostat communication, electrical connections and the filter.

A tune-up can't promise a system won't fail. It does catch the avoidable problems and helps the equipment run closer to its rated efficiency. If we find a repair, you get a written price first.

Spring and fall with Iron Horse Advantage

The Iron Horse Advantage membership pairs a spring AC visit with a fall heating check. It's free for your first system and $97 for each additional system. Members get priority response and up to 20% off material and service on repairs found during a visit. Prefer a one-time tune-up? We do those too.

Between visits

Change the filter every one to three months, more often with pets or after a dust storm. Keep boxes and laundry away from the furnace so it gets the air it needs. A burning-dust smell the first time the heat runs each season is normal and fades quickly. A smell that doesn't go away is a reason to turn it off and call. If you smell gas, leave and call your gas company or 911 from outside.
