Furnace safety check
Heat exchanger, burners, flue and airflow — the full look-over before the cold settles in for the winter.
Two seasons, one crew
Bozeman gives you both extremes. We plan for both.
Winter here tests a furnace hard. Summer tests an air conditioner just as hard. Here's how we keep a house comfortable on either side of the calendar.
When the cold snap hits
Heating season
- 01Change the filter before the first hard freeze — airflow is the cheapest fix there is.
- 02Book a furnace safety check and have the heat exchanger, burners and flue looked at properly.
- 03Keep the outdoor unit and the vents clear of drifted snow once the storms start stacking up.
- 04If the system runs non-stop and the house still won't hold, ask for a replacement quote.
When the heat wave rolls in
Cooling season
- 01Get the AC tuned up in the spring — before the first hot week, not during it.
- 02Clear grass and debris from around the condenser so it can shed heat.
- 03Seal the ducts if upstairs rooms never match the thermostat.
- 04Shade west-facing windows and let the system catch up in the cooler evening hours.
Year-round
Duct sealing works in every season.
Leaky ducts waste the work your furnace and your air conditioner just did. Sealing the joints is usually the fastest way to make a house feel right in January and in July — and it's the one job that doesn't care what the thermometer says.
