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!

“Cody was fantastic to work with. He was friendly, helpful, and clearly knowledgeable about what he was doing. When he diagnosed the issue with our furnace and realized we needed a part, he called around to find one that was available the same day so we could get our heat back on. He even drove out to pick it up. We really appreciated his effort, his professionalism, and how genuinely he cared about getting things working for us. Highly recommend!”

“Russ Kesterson was honest and was not trying to sell us anything we did not need. Todd Bates and his team was very professional. They installed a new furnace, disim duck work and installed a new a c unit. They said their first priority was to have the furnace up and running before they left on the first day to make sure we had heat that night. Anyone who came to our house was on time very pleasant and professional.”

“Allen was very professional when he came out to address an issue of our furnace pushing out cold air instead of hot even though all the settings were for heat. We are now back to a warn house in this first cold day of fall.”
- Candace B.
“I ran into an issue with my furnace at around 10pm. I called North Winds at 11am the next day and they put me right on the schedule for the same day. Allen and his partner showed up at around 3pm. Allen was very communicative on what the issue was and got the part replaced right away. They ensured the system was working several times before leaving. Great team and great company! Will definitely call them for future issues!”
