Explore the heating services we recommend here in the desert.
Wickenburg winters aren't long, but they're real. When a furnace or heater fails, most homeowners here haven't thought about it in months — heating systems don't get the attention AC units do in this climate, and they can fail without warning. Regular maintenance is what keeps that from happening at 2am in January.
Schedule ServiceWinter in Maricopa and Yavapai County is short, but a dead furnace on a cold night doesn't care how short it is. Here's what we handle to keep your home warm:
Yes. A furnace that hasn't been checked before winter is the one most likely to quit on the coldest night. A yearly visit catches small problems before they become no-heat calls.
Every 1 to 3 months, more often if you run pets or a dusty property. A clogged filter makes your furnace work harder and burn more gas or electricity.
All the major ones, including Carrier, Trane, and Lennox. If yours is something else, call us and we'll let you know.
Check the breaker and the thermostat first. If it's still not kicking on, call us. We handle emergency no-heat calls.
Regular maintenance, sealed ductwork, and a programmable thermostat all help. A dirty, neglected furnace is the single biggest driver of high winter bills.
Most installs run $2,500 to $6,000 depending on the unit and the work involved. We'll give you an exact number after seeing your home.
That's our term for an emergency visit when your heating system stops working entirely. Those calls jump the line ahead of routine maintenance.
Set it no lower than 55°F. That's cold enough to save on gas, warm enough to keep your pipes from freezing.
Usually poor insulation or a duct problem. An inspection will tell you which one it is.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency — it tells you what percentage of the fuel your furnace burns actually turns into heat for your home. Higher is better.
They're usually talking about the same thing — how much of the energy going into your system comes out as usable heat.
Depends on what's already run to your house, your energy costs, and what you're used to. We'll walk you through both when we quote the job.
No. Closing vents throws off the system's pressure balance. Adjust the thermostat or zone the system instead.
Check the label on the unit itself, or call us and we'll identify it on a visit.
It costs more and wears the system harder. Keep it moderate and consistent for the best balance of comfort and cost.
A furnace that can run at a lower output for mild days and ramp up for cold snaps, instead of one setting for everything. More even heat, lower bills.
Heating systems pull moisture out of the air. A humidifier add-on takes care of it.
Furnace, ductwork, vents, and a thermostat, at minimum. We can walk you through your specific setup.
We're a small crew, not a call center. When you call, you get someone who knows Wickenburg winters and usually knows what's wrong before we even get to your door.
If a repair doesn't hold, call (928) 684-2333 and we'll come back and make it right. That's been the standard here since 1982, and it's not changing now.
