Heating maintenance isn’t just a winter checklist — it’s the key to keeping your Colorado home comfortable and energy-efficient year-round.

Whether you live in Eagle County, Summit County, or surrounding areas, we tailor every tune-up to your specific home and heating system.
A well-maintained heating system not only improves comfort but also extends the life of your equipment — helping you avoid costly breakdowns during peak winter conditions.

What’s Included in Professional Heating Maintenance
When you schedule heating maintenance with PSI Vail, you get more than a quick inspection. Our team follows a detailed checklist designed to ensure every component is working as it should. Here’s what you can expect from our professional service:
1. Full System Inspection
We inspect burners, heat exchangers, blowers, vents, and safety controls to confirm everything operates correctly. Any signs of wear, damage, or carbon buildup are addressed immediately.
2. Filter Replacement and Cleaning
A clogged air filter reduces efficiency and forces your furnace to work harder. We clean or replace filters to maintain proper airflow and system performance.
3. Electrical and Gas Safety Checks
Safety comes first. Our technicians test wiring, ignition systems, and gas connections to make sure your furnace operates safely and efficiently.
4. Thermostat Calibration
An improperly calibrated thermostat can make your home uncomfortable and increase energy use. We ensure your thermostat reads accurately and communicates properly with your system.
5. Efficiency Testing
Finally, we measure system performance to verify it’s operating at peak efficiency. We’ll also suggest any upgrades or repairs that could reduce long-term costs.

Benefits of Regular Heating Maintenance
Routine furnace and heating maintenance provide several key benefits that make a big impact over time:
Longer System Lifespan
Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they escalate. Most furnaces last between 15–20 years, but consistent maintenance can add several more years of reliable operation.
Improved Energy Efficiency
A clean and well-tuned system doesn’t need to work as hard. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, proper maintenance can reduce heating costs by up to 30% annually. Learn more about heating efficiency at Energy.gov.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Dust, debris, and mold can accumulate in your heating system. Maintenance reduces airborne particles, creating a cleaner and healthier home environment.
Fewer Emergency Repairs
Nothing’s worse than your heat failing on a freezing Colorado night. Preventive maintenance reduces the risk of mid-winter breakdowns by spotting problems early.
Signs You Need Furnace Maintenance
Even if your furnace seems fine, certain warning signs indicate it’s time for professional maintenance:
Uneven Heating
If some rooms are warm while others stay cold, your system may have airflow or duct issues.
Rising Utility Bills
A sudden spike in heating costs often signals that your system is struggling and needs a tune-up.
Unusual Noises
Banging, rattling, or squealing noises suggest worn parts or loose components.
Frequent Cycling
If your furnace turns on and off frequently, it could mean sensor issues or airflow restrictions.
Poor Air Quality
Dust buildup or dry air could indicate that your system isn’t filtering or humidifying properly.
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to contact PSI Vail for expert heating maintenance.

How Often Should You Schedule Heating Maintenance?
Experts recommend scheduling professional heating maintenance once a year, ideally in early fall before heavy use begins. However, for homes in colder mountain regions, a mid-season inspection can also help maintain performance through extended winter months.
Neglecting regular maintenance can void manufacturer warranties and lead to efficiency loss of up to 5% per year. By keeping up with annual inspections, you protect both your investment and your comfort.

Common Questions About Heating Maintenance
How long does a furnace maintenance appointment take?
Most maintenance visits take between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on system size and condition.
Can I do my own furnace maintenance?
You can replace air filters and keep vents clear, but internal inspections, electrical work, and combustion checks should always be handled by certified technicians.
What’s the best time of year for heating maintenance?
Fall is ideal, but you can schedule maintenance anytime. It’s better to have it late than skip it entirely.
Does heating maintenance include duct cleaning?
Not always. While our technicians inspect ducts during maintenance, full duct cleaning is a separate service. Contact us to schedule duct cleaning if you notice dust buildup or airflow issues.
