Great service personal who not only provide the device but patiently explain what they are doing and why. One of the best repair experiences I’ve had.
D&M is a class act. With very little notice, they came quickly, identified the problem immediately and more thoroughly than others who had come before, and then they solved it on the spot. They needed two parts, which were both in the truck, and the heater is working perfectly now. I strongly recommend D&M!
I had Justin from D&M heating and cooling come service our furnace today for annual service. He was able to pin point a potential problem with two capacitors (one weak and another almost weak) I had him install two new ones before any cold fronts move in on us. Justin was very professional and informative about possible upgrades and trade value for my almost 20 year old furnace. Great job! Justin and D&M definitely will be using you guys in the future.👍🏼

Furnace maintenance may result in fewer emergencies or expensive repairs. We are proud to offer furnace maintenance tips for homeowners in our service area.

How Often Should I Change My Furnace Filters?
You should change your furnace filters on a regular basis. You should check a one-inch furnace filter once a month and change it when you can no longer see light through it. High-efficiency furnace filters that are four inches or larger should be changed out every six to 12 months. You might want to change your furnace filter more often if you have allergies or pets or smoke indoors.
Signs You Require Furnace Repair
If you haven’t had your furnace maintained, it’s more likely to require repairs. The good news is that significant furnace repairs are often accompanied by some warning signs to help you catch the problem before it becomes so bad that you need a complete furnace replacement. It’s essential to know some common signs that you require furnace repair services, including:
- Lack of hot air – One of the most obvious signs that your furnace is not operating correctly is a system that is blowing cool air instead of warm air. Another sign that you have a problem is a furnace that does not warm your home sufficiently.
- Popping or squeaking noises – A furnace making loud popping, squeaking, banging, or clattering noises could be a sign that something is wrong with your system and requires a visit from our professionals.
- Gas odors – Most furnaces run on natural gas. While this is an effective way to heat your home, it also poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if things go wrong. Turn your heater off right away if you smell gas. Leave your home, turn off the gas, get to somewhere safe, and call your gas company.
- Turning off and on – As furnaces get past their prime, they tend to short cycle. This means they turn off and on frequently and are not effective at heating your home. This inefficient heating method will likely increase your utility bills.
