A typical AC or furnace tune-up takes about one to two hours, depending on the condition of the system. The technician will thoroughly inspect, clean and tune the unit to ensure it’s running at peak performance

Does Furnace Maintenance Need To Be Done By A Professional?

While basic DIY maintenance, like changing filters or clearing vents, is important for keeping your furnace in good shape, some tasks definitely require a licensed professional.

A pro can thoroughly inspect your system, spot hidden issues and perform complex tasks that ensure your furnace runs safely and efficiently — giving you peace of mind all season long.

How Often Does A Furnace Need To Be Replaced?

The lifespan of a furnace typically ranges between 15 to 20 years. However, factors like regular maintenance, usage and technological advancements influence its longevity.

If your furnace is nearing the end of its life or experiencing frequent issues, consider upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient heater model for improved performance.

Can A Swamp Cooler Cool An Entire House?

Swamp coolers — or evaporative coolers — are effective in arid climates like Farmington. They use water to cool the air, making them suitable for whole-house cooling.

However, their efficiency can be affected by humidity levels. Consult with our experts to determine if a swamp cooler is the right choice for your home’s cooling needs.

How Often Should I Have My Furnace Serviced?

We recommend that you have your furnace serviced once a year — ideally in the fall before the heating season begins — though some systems may require additional attention. Regular maintenance helps ensure your system is operating safely and efficiently, preventing unexpected breakdowns.

What Is The Ideal Indoor Air Quality?

Achieving optimal indoor air quality involves controlling factors like ventilation, humidity and airborne pollutants. The ideal indoor air quality maintains a comfortable environment, reduces allergens and promotes overall well-being.

Robbins Heating & Air Conditioning offers solutions to enhance your indoor air quality, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable living space.

What’s Included In Professional Heater Maintenance?

A professional furnace tune-up is a comprehensive check to keep your system efficient and safe. It involves a series of tasks, which can include inspecting and cleaning the burners, checking the heat exchanger for cracks, lubricating moving parts, testing safety controls and replacing or cleaning the air filter.
