- Furnace Repair. Our HVAC experts are proficient at troubleshooting and reliably fixing a wide range of common furnace issues, such as inefficient heating, frequent cycling, and unusual noises. We begin by conducting a thorough inspection to identify the root cause of the problem.
- Furnace Replacement. If you have an older furnace that is starting to experience more frequent problems, we can help determine whether repairs can restore peak efficiency or whether replacement may be necessary. Our team will conduct a complete assessment of your current furnace, evaluating its performance, efficiency, and overall condition.
- Furnace Maintenance, Service, and Tune-Ups. Scheduling regular professional maintenance will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your furnace. Routine maintenance can identify potential issues before they become major, costly repairs. It also keeps your furnace running efficiently, which can save you on energy costs.
- Forced-Air Furnaces. With a forced-air furnace, the air is heated within the unit and then forcibly blown through ductwork that runs throughout the building. This heated air is released into different areas using vents or registers. Furnaces are typically fueled by oil, natural gas, or electricity.
- Electric Furnaces. Electric furnaces are an increasingly popular choice among homeowners, offering a cleaner and more efficient heating alternative. Unlike traditional gas furnaces, an electric furnace operates by drawing in cold air, heating it over an electric resistance coil, and then distributing the warm air throughout your home via a ductwork system.
- Gas Furnaces. Gas furnaces are often favored due to their high energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness, especially in areas where gas is more affordable than electricity. Our Gaithersburg heating services include seasoned support with all forms of gas furnace care, including installation and maintenance to repair and replacement.
- Oil Furnaces. While oil furnaces are rarer these days, we are still ready to assist homeowners who rely on this equipment. We offer a wide array of services that encompass installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of oil furnaces.
- Boilers. Also known as a hydronic system, a boiler heats water and then pushes it through pipes installed throughout your home. It efficiently distributes heat to strategically placed registers and radiators. The water is then recycled and pushed back to the boiler for reheating. Boilers are commonly powered by oil or natural gas.
- Heat Pumps. A heat pump is a versatile heating and cooling system that leverages the principles of heat transfer to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. During the colder months, heat pumps extract warmth from the outside air or ground and transfer it inside the house. In contrast, during warmer months, they remove heat from the house and release it outdoors, effectively cooling the interior.
- Geothermal Heating Systems. Geothermal heating systems leverage the consistent temperatures beneath the earth’s surface to provide efficient heating and cooling for your home. By circulating a fluid through pipes (or “loops”) buried in the ground, these systems absorb heat from the earth in winter for indoor heating. In summer, the process is reversed to cool your home. The result is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution for year-round indoor climate control.
- Thermostats and Smart Thermostats. Investing in a quality thermostat can significantly enhance the performance of your heating and cooling system, leading to more comfortable living conditions and considerable energy savings. Smart thermostats offer precise temperature control, enabling you to create a tailored indoor climate that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences. With a smart thermostat, you can program temperature settings based on your schedule, ensuring a warm house when you wake up or return home, and energy conservation when you’re away.

How Often Does My Heating System Need Maintenance?
How often you need to schedule preventative maintenance for your heating system will depend on the system type, its age, its overall usage, and the environmental conditions it operates in. Generally, though, you should expect to have your heating equipment serviced at least once a year. This annual check-up essentially ensures that your heating system is functioning efficiently and safely. It also provides an opportunity for the technicians to catch any developing issues early, minimizing the risk of unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
For gas and oil furnaces, we will thoroughly inspection of all the components, clean or replace the filters, verify the combustion process, and check the vent system for blockages or leaks. For electric furnaces, we will examine the electrical connections, check the system’s operation, and clean or replace the air filters. Regular maintenance of these systems not only prevents potential issues but also ensures optimal efficiency and extends the lifespan of the equipment.
For heat pumps, we will assess the refrigerant level, inspect and clean the coils, check the electrical system, and lubricate the moving parts. Similarly, with geothermal heating systems, we will inspect the heat pump, controller, ductwork, and insulation, as well as assess the refrigerant level and pressure.
Our Gaithersburg heating services include tailored maintenance support. If you do not remember the last time your heating equipment was serviced, do not wait to get in touch to schedule an inspection and tune-up.
Signs Your Heating System Needs Repairs
Recognizing the signs that your heating system needs repairs can prevent relatively minor issues from escalating into expensive, disruptive emergencies! The sooner you get in touch, the better. Our experienced technicians can diagnose and repair a wide range of heating system issues, helping you maintain a comfortable and energy-efficient home.
Do not wait to reach out to our technicians if you notice any of the following issues:
- Inconsistent Heating. If you notice that some rooms in your home are warmer than others, this could indicate a problem with your heating system. Uneven heating could result from a variety of issues, such as ductwork problems, a failing thermostat, or a furnace that is not operating at peak efficiency.
- Unusual Noises. Although all heating systems make some noise, you are right to be concerned about any unusual or loud sounds, such as banging, whining, or grinding. These could signal a mechanical problem, like a loose belt or a malfunctioning motor.
- Rising Energy Bills. If your energy bills are unexpectedly high, it could mean your heating system is not operating efficiently and may need repairs. A system that is working harder to heat your home will consume more energy and result in higher bills without a corresponding increase in usage.
- Frequent Cycling. If your heating system is constantly turning on and off, your system may be overheating, or it could be a sign of a malfunctioning thermostat.
- Poor Air Quality. If you discover an increase in dust or dry air in your home, this could be a sign that your heating system is not adequately filtering the air or regulating humidity.
