Keith's Rule: “ALL FURNACES LAST LONGER WHEN CLEANED, INSPECTED AND TUNED UP-SERVICED BY ME annually.”

Keith's comprehensive 26-point inspection covers every critical component:

• Gas connections and pressure testing

“I will teach you how to maintain, why to maintain so you understand how to make a furnace last longer.” - Keith

With proper maintenance, furnace lifespan varies by type:

• High-Efficiency (90%+): 15-20 years
• Mid-Efficiency (80-89%): 20-25 years
• Older Systems: Keith services furnaces from the 1950s still running

Keith's experience: “The furnaces I maintain regularly outlast industry averages by years. It's all about consistent care.” Book your furnace maintenance service to extend your system's life.
