When you reach out to our team of qualified technicians in Birmingham, AL for your heater maintenance appointments, you can expect detail oriented team members on your doorstep.
We recommend scheduling annual maintenance on all types of heaters, preferably outside of the colder winter months. Scheduling your annual maintenance in the spring or summer can ensure that potential problems are caught long before they interfere with the warmth and comfort of your home in winter.
So what can you expect from our Birmingham, AL heater maintenance?
- Inspections: During the course of your appointment, our local technicians will visually inspect all of the main components to your heating system and give them a thorough cleaning. This means checking on things like the ignition assembly, pressure switches, air intake grills, and blower. Not only will we clean all of these components but look for any potential issues.
- Safety Checks: The inspection part of your appointment is equally important as it checks safety controls and your ductwork or exhaust pipes while looking for things like interior damage or signs of regular wear and tear. In the event that something is found, our team will never recommend services you don’t need and can help you assess what level of repairs will keep things up and running.
- Tests: From there we will also focus on testing all of your components, making sure that the blower motor is working the way it should, that your electrical connections are high functioning, and that your thermostat triggers the temperature you legitimately want in your space. Not only will we test these components but will test to make sure that the fuel combusts the way it should and that you don’t have any carbon monoxide leaks.
- Final Checks: Depending on your system will also check and calibrate your thermostat, replace furnace filters where necessary, and lubricate all of your moving parts. Should we find anything that needs tightening, rest assured that those electrical connections and other parts will be left as secure as possible when we are done.
During the course of your regular heater maintenance appointments, if we find anything that needs to be repaired, we will let you know and get to work as soon as possible. Our team members arrive with a service vehicle full of common replacement parts and tools so that minor repairs can be done at the same time.
If, however, something is more costly, we will let you know what that cost will be and the projected timeline to repair it.

Better Lifespan
Our team of trusted technicians can ensure that your heating system has a longer lifespan. checking for small things like clogs or dirty air filters might seem mundane but it represents a significant investment in the longevity of your system.
How?
Clogs, even small ones, can interfere with how much air is able to flow through a given space. When there is a clog that blocks air flow, the motors and other components in your system work even harder to produce the same quantity of air and reach the same temperature.
