Furnace and air conditioning tune-ups in Calgary
We often get asked why furnace maintenance should be done. An annual tune-up matters for your furnace's efficiency and for the safety of your home.
Why a yearly tune-up matters
Maintains your manufacturer's warranty
You get your car's oil changed to maintain its warranty, and a furnace is similar. Most manufacturers say their warranty becomes void if the furnace isn't regularly maintained. A tune-up satisfies that requirement. We also offer warranty repair on Lennox furnaces.
Reduces repairs
Every winter, furnace companies get backlogged with repairs once furnaces start working hard. Many of those repairs could have been prevented. A tune-up includes cleaning that keeps your furnace running efficiently, and it can catch potential problems before they turn into major repairs.
Saves time and can prevent emergency repairs
A tune-up before the weather turns cold is much more convenient than waiting for a technician in a cold home in winter, and it saves you money. Not every repair can be caught, but symptoms caught early let you take preventive steps.
Energy efficiency
Proper cleaning and checking the gas levels keep your furnace running as efficiently as it can, all winter.
Airflow
The technician checks that your heating system is getting proper airflow. Venting issues and limited airflow strain your furnace, which can shorten its life and lead to emergency repairs.
Stay safe
Furnaces burn gas to produce heat. Heat exchanger issues can lead to gas leaking into your home or dangerous carbon monoxide levels. Don't take chances with your family's health and safety.
Think you have a gas leak? Leave the house, then call ATCO’s 24-hour gas emergency line at 1-800-511-3447 or 911.

Honest work, said in their words
Calgary homeowners have been calling Flash Furnace for more than 15 years. Here's what they say on Google.
I found Flash Furnace through my community Facebook page and am so thankful I did. My furnace quit working on Sunday and didn't want to risk waiting so called and Aaron was able to come out within a few hours. Thankfully it was a part he had in stock and was able to fix it quickly and efficiently. He was professional, helpful and did not try to pressure me with upsales. For friendly, professional and helpful services, try Flash Furnace, a NW, local, independent company.
