How often should my heating system be serviced?

We recommend scheduling professional heating maintenance once a year, ideally in the fall before the cold weather hits, to ensure safe operation and peak efficiency.

How long does a furnace or heat pump typically last?

A well-maintained gas furnace can last 15 to 20 years, while heat pumps typically last 10 to 15 years due to their year-round usage. Routine maintenance is key to reaching these lifespans.

When should I replace my heating system?

Consider replacing your system if it is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs that cost more than half the price of a new unit, or struggles to heat your home efficiently.

What size heating system does my home need?

The correct size depends on your home's square footage, layout, insulation, and window placement. We perform precise load calculations to recommend the exact system size for optimal comfort.

Why is my heater blowing cold air?

Cold air can be caused by a thermostat set to "on" instead of "auto," a dirty air filter blocking airflow, a blown pilot light, or a malfunctioning limit switch. It requires proper diagnosis.

Are burning smells normal when turning on the heater?

A brief burning dust smell is normal the very first time you turn on your heater for the season. However, if the smell persists or smells like burning plastic or electrical wire, turn the system off and call a professional immediately.

Are you licensed and insured to work on gas furnaces?

Yes, Metts Mechanical LLC is fully licensed (License #36453) and insured to safely handle, repair, and install all types of residential heating systems, including gas furnaces.

Do you offer financing for new heating installations?
