Heating Maintenance

Prevent costly breakdowns and keep your heating system running at peak performance all winter long.

Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your home comfortable, your energy bills low, and your heating equipment lasting as long as possible. At BPM Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we provide thorough, affordable tune-ups for all types of residential heating systems—from furnaces and boilers to heat pumps and ductless units.

Our multi-point inspections are designed to identify small issues before they become expensive problems. Whether you’re preparing for winter or maintaining a newer system under warranty, our team ensures your heating equipment is clean, calibrated, and ready for anything.

Why Heating Maintenance Matters

Skipping annual maintenance can shorten your system’s lifespan, reduce efficiency, and increase the chance of mid-season breakdowns. Here’s why homeowners schedule tune-ups:

  • Improves energy efficiency and lowers monthly bills
  • Ensures safe system operation (especially gas or oil)
  • Extends the life of your equipment
  • Reduces the risk of costly repairs
  • Maintains warranty coverage

Our 21-point maintenance checklist includes cleaning, testing, and calibration of critical components—tailored to your system type.

What’s Included in a Heating Tune-Up?

Every heating system is different, but our maintenance service typically includes:

  • Filter replacement or cleaning
  • Inspecting and testing the thermostat
  • Checking blower motor and belt
  • Measuring and adjusting gas pressure (if applicable)
  • Flue and venting inspection
  • Checking flame sensor and burner operation
  • Testing safety controls and limit switches
  • Inspecting heat exchanger or coil
  • Electrical connection checks
  • Lubricating moving parts

If your system requires special attention (such as radiant or boiler units), we adjust our service accordingly.

All Heating Systems Welcome

We service (and install!) all major heating brands and system types, including:

  • Gas furnaces
  • Electric furnaces
  • Boilers (gas, oil, and high-efficiency)
  • Heat pumps
  • Ductless mini-split systems
  • Radiant floor heating

As a Lennox Premier Dealer, we follow manufacturer-approved procedures that help maintain your system’s performance and protect warranty coverage.

The Best Time to Schedule Maintenance

The best time for a tune-up is early fall, before the first cold snap. This ensures your system is ready to perform when you need it most. However, it’s never too late to schedule service—especially if it’s been over a year since your last inspection.
