What's Included in Furnace Services
Furnace Repair
Expert diagnosis and repair of all furnace types. We fix ignition failures, blower motor problems, heat exchanger issues, gas valve failures, and electrical component breakdowns.
Furnace Installation and Replacement
Professional installation of new gas and electric furnaces. We size the system correctly, install to code, and back every installation with our 5-year labor warranty.
Furnace Tune-Up
Comprehensive furnace maintenance that includes cleaning the burners and flame sensor, testing the ignition system, checking the heat exchanger, lubricating moving parts, and calibrating the thermostat.
Heat Exchanger Inspection
Detailed visual and camera inspection of the heat exchanger for cracks, corrosion, or separation. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety concern that requires immediate attention.

Inspection of gas supply lines, connections, and the gas valve for leaks or damage. We use electronic gas detection equipment to identify even small leaks.
Flue and Venting Inspection
Inspection of the flue pipe and venting system to ensure combustion gases are properly exhausted from your home. Improper venting can cause carbon monoxide buildup.

Furnace Services in Fairfax: FAQs
Should I convert my Fairfax oil furnace to gas?
If natural gas is available at your property, converting from oil to gas can reduce heating costs and eliminate the need for oil tank maintenance. We evaluate the conversion cost and expected savings for your specific situation.
How efficient are the furnaces in older Fairfax homes?
Many older Fairfax homes have 80% AFUE furnaces. Upgrading to a 96% AFUE condensing furnace captures nearly all heat energy and can reduce gas bills significantly. The payback period is typically 5 to 8 years.
What does a Fairfax furnace tune-up include?
Our furnace tune-up includes burner cleaning, heat exchanger inspection, thermostat calibration, electrical connections check, gas pressure verification, filter replacement, and full safety inspection.
How do I know if my furnace needs repair or replacement?
If your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair costs less than half the replacement cost, repair is usually the right call. If it is over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or has a cracked heat exchanger, replacement is typically the smarter investment.
How often should I have my furnace serviced?
We recommend a professional furnace tune-up once per year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs and keeps your system running efficiently.
What does a furnace tune-up include?
Our furnace tune-up includes cleaning the burners and flame sensor, inspecting the heat exchanger, testing the ignition system, checking gas pressure, lubricating moving parts, calibrating the thermostat, inspecting the flue, and testing for carbon monoxide.
