Chilly weather is upon us here in Contra Costa County.
Is your Brentwood, CA, home or business prepared for the frosty slide into winter? When you switch your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) thermostat to heat, your furnace should be clean, inspected, and ready to operate at peak performance for the next several months.
Preventative maintenance is the only way to prepare your heating system to work safely and efficiently through winter.
At SMB Mechanical, we believe the best time for a tune-up is early fall before you use your furnace daily. Learn why.
When Is It Best to Schedule Furnace Maintenance?
Professional maintenance can be performed on your furnace at any time of the year. It is worth the investment.
But the best time to schedule it is in the fall, right before the weather gets too cold. You want to be sure you can depend on your heating system when you need it.
A fall furnace tune-up lets our SMB Mechanical professionals catch any minor issues and resolve them immediately. You will enjoy optimal comfort and peace of mind knowing your system is running safely and efficiently.
Here’s How a Fall Tune-Up Helps:
- System Safety
This is a prime reason to inspect your heating system before putting it into service. During a tune-up, our expert technicians inspect components for wear and damage that might jeopardize your well-being. For example, a cracked heat exchanger in your gas furnace could trigger a deadly carbon monoxide (CO) leak. We inspect the gas line for leaks and ensure safety controls operate correctly. We also check electrical wiring and connections on both furnaces and heat pumps. - Catching Problems Early
Running your heating system when it needs repair or cleaning is risky. Damaged or worn components you could easily swap out now may grow into big, costly problems or even a breakdown in a month or two as your system continues to operate.Fall maintenance ensures all necessary repairs are complete before your furnace begins working 24/7. - Better Weather
Why is this important? We turn off your furnace while cleaning or repairing it. Schedule maintenance now for a more comfortable experience during milder weather, so you won’t be sitting in the cold during our visit!

Maintenance Saves Money

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) points out that you can save up to 30 percent on your energy bill if you maintain and upgrade your heating equipment and insulate and air seal your Brentwood, CA, home.

“Transparent & fair pricing! We recently had to have our furnace replaced, I had a few companies out, and I was shocked by the quotes. I remembered that Alex had come out during Covid & fixed our furnace, just to get it running…so I reached out to him. SMB came out & gave me an estimate for half the price of the other companies…I thought it was to good to be true, so when I told the other companies the price, they immediately said they’d match the quote. So of course I went with SMB, because they are professional & not trying to take advantage of our situation (no furnace & 57 degrees in our house). They walked me through the options, replace the furnace or get a heat pump…new to me thing, but ultimately we went with the suggested heat pump. Just got our first PG&E bill & it went down by $200! The crew was super professional, swept & vacuumed after every visit, they were all patient with our puppy & everything was completed on the timeline they set! The inspector came out & there were some problems from the previous install so they fixed everything so we could pass the title 24, inspection & now just waiting on the final permit in the mail! Can’t say enough great things about this company! Everyone went above & beyond what I would have expected for the install & the peace of mind to not have to worry about the HVAC in the future is fantastic!! Thank you!!”
