Most no-heat emergency calls we get during the first hard freeze of winter could have been prevented in October with a $79 tune-up. A 45-minute fall heating inspection catches dirty flame sensors, cracked igniters, weak inducer motors, and combustion problems — every one of which becomes a $400+ emergency call when it fails on the coldest night of the year.
Our 18-Point Heating Tune-Up
- Visual inspection of heat exchanger for cracks (CO safety)
- Combustion analysis with calibrated flue gas analyzer
- CO test at supply registers (whole-home safety)
- Inspect and clean flame sensor
- Test igniter resistance and replace if degraded
- Inspect and clean burners
- Test gas valve operation and pressure
- Inspect inducer motor amp draw
- Test blower motor amp draw and capacitor (if applicable)
- Test high-limit safety switch
- Test rollout safety switch
- Inspect flue / vent for proper draft
- Lubricate motor bearings (where applicable)
- Inspect and clean condensate drain (high-efficiency systems)
- Verify thermostat heating call-for-heat sequence
- Verify proper temperature rise (supply minus return)
- Inspect air filter — replace or recommend correct size
- Provide written report with all measurements
Why Fall Tune-Ups Matter More Than You Think
Furnaces sit unused April through October in Texas. When you finally call for heat in November, dust on the flame sensor causes ignition failures, mice may have nested in the burner compartment, and the inducer motor that's been still for 7 months can fail to start. Catch these in October for $79; pay for them at $179 plus parts in December.

Optional. Our membership ($16/month) includes both spring AC and fall heating tune-ups, 15% off any repairs, no overtime fees on emergencies, and front-of-line scheduling. If you'd rather pay per visit, that's fine too.
