How often should I have my furnace professionally maintained?

It’s recommended to have professional maintenance (a tune-up) performed once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season starts, to ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability.

What are signs my furnace might need replacement soon?

Signs include old age (approaching 20 years), frequent or costly repairs, significantly increased energy bills, uneven heating, strange noises (rattling, banging, screeching that persist after maintenance), visible rust or cracks, and excessive dust/soot.

What's the average lifespan of a furnace?

With regular maintenance, gas furnaces typically last 15-25 years, while electric furnaces might last 20-30 years. Factors like usage, maintenance frequency, and initial quality affect lifespan.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very pleased with the two HVAC units I purchased from Central California Air in November 2020. The owner Luis and his technicians have always exceeded my expectations in regard to price, service and warranties. That being said, I’ve only experienced a couple of minor issues that have been resolved quickly - one was an electrical glitch, where the fan was running, but blowing out warm air rather than cold. The techs fixed it on the spot and my house started cooling down immediately. The other issue had something to do with a breaker being off, so no parts were required and since both units are 6 years into a 10 year warranty, I feel assured that Luis stands behind the products he sells, repairs and services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Central California Air Inc! Our A/C stopped cooling, and I was able to easily schedule an appointment online. Luis and Andres came out the very next day and quickly figured out the problem.

They were both honest, helpful, and explained everything clearly. They replaced the parts that needed fixing, serviced and cleaned the unit, and made sure everything was running properly before they left. Our A/C is working great again! Definitely recommend Luis, Andres, and Central California Air Inc!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called on a Saturday morning for my swamp cooler pump and had them out within the hour to check out my issue. They resolved my problem quickly and informed me of possible future issues. I look forward to using this service again!
