Chilly weather is upon us here in Ingham County.
Is your Okemos, MI, 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 North Winds Heating & Cooling, 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 North Winds Heating & Cooling 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 heating 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!

“I recently purchased and had a Trane furnace installed by North Winds Heating and Cooling, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish.
I originally called them for a second opinion after another heating and cooling company diagnosed my furnace, and I am very glad I did. Nate, the salesman who came out initially, was friendly, knowledgeable, and came across as genuinely honest, taking the time to explain everything clearly without any pressure.
On installation day, Lon and Will did an outstanding job. They were polite, professional, worked faster than promised, and left the workspace cleaner than they found it. The pricing from North Winds was very competitive compared to other quotes I received, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations.
Based on this experience, I will absolutely use North Winds Heating and Cooling in the future.”
