Heating
A Checklist That Matches the Climate
A generic furnace tune-up spends its time on things that rarely fail here and skips the things that do. Our dust load means flame sensors foul faster than the textbook interval, and our cycling pattern is hard on igniters and blower bearings.
So that is where we spend the time — cleaning and testing the sensor, verifying igniter resistance, checking blower amp draw, and running combustion and draft tests. You get written findings, not a sticker on the side of the cabinet.
- Cleaned Where It Matters Flame sensor, burners and blower assembly cleaned properly rather than wiped over.
- Tested, Not Eyeballed Amp draws, temperature rise, gas pressure and draft measured and recorded.
- Safety Every Visit Heat-exchanger inspection and CO testing included on every maintenance call.
What We See
Why an Annual Tune-Up Pays
Maintenance is the cheapest part of owning a furnace. Here is what it prevents.
-
Mid-Winter Breakdowns
Most no-heat calls we take were preventable, and the failed part was showing symptoms months earlier.
-
Creeping Energy Costs
A dirty burner and restricted airflow both raise run time for the same amount of heat.
-
Undetected CO Risk
Heat-exchanger cracks develop quietly. An annual inspection is how they get caught.
-
Warranty Requirements
Most manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance to stay valid.
What We Do
What the Tune-Up Covers
A measured, documented service rather than a visual once-over.
- Burner & Sensor Service Burners cleaned, flame sensor polished and tested, igniter resistance verified.
- Blower & Airflow Blower cleaned, amp draw measured, temperature rise checked against spec.
- Gas Pressure & Draft Manifold pressure and venting draft tested and adjusted to manufacturer specification.
- Written Report You receive the measured readings and any recommendations in writing.

★★★★★
Dylan corrected the problem with our swamp cooler and repaired it promptly. The service was also under warranty and he honored it.
★★★★★
My serviceman was cordial, friendly, professional, and had a great sense of humor. This is his first visit to my house. I felt comfortable with him. He does a great job.
The overall service of B. Carlson is excellent. They have been my HVAC company almost since I bought this house and I see no reason to switch. As they say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, B. Carlson ain't broke, so I've no reason to fix them. I have recommended them to friends and neighbors many times.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a furnace be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in autumn before the heating season starts.
Is maintenance worth it if the furnace is running fine?
That is exactly when it is worth it. Maintenance catches the failures that would otherwise happen on the coldest night, and keeps the manufacturer warranty valid.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes — our Care Club covers scheduled maintenance with priority scheduling and member pricing. Ask us for the current details.
Can you service a furnace you did not install?
Of course. We maintain all major brands regardless of who installed the system.
*Offers cannot be combined with other promotions or applied to dispatch fees. No cash value. Must present offer at time of service. Call for details.
