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!

Most recent was maintenance and replacement of some furnace switches. I have always appreciated the professionalism, honesty and integrity of this locally owned company and their employees. I am pleased that they have not sold out to Private Equity which leads to loss of quality and professional service in the interest of profit making for the investors, at the expense of the consumer.”

“Had another great experience with North Winds. Eric and Chaase were friendly, considerate and professional as they quickly fixed our gas leak. We appreciate their thorough yearly maintenance as we would not have known about the leak. Thank you!”

“We had a Furnace and water heater install along with a few other services done by Lon, Chase and Will. The job took two days but went very quickly and they were all respectful of our property. They also and answered all my questions and the post install information they gave us was very thorough. I have been using North winds for years for repair and maintenance services and am glad we went with them for our heating and water needs. I will continue using their services for years to come I am sure.”

“Russ came out to do an estimate on a ductless ac system and was very informative that my house type would not be suitable for that type of system. He was very attentive and friendly when it came to shifting the focus away from that system and over to a gas furnace and ac (both were over 3 decades old and were on their last legs). He did a fantastic job in guiding us on what would be best!
Now for the installation and the hard work you all did! I had Willis, Lon and Tyler helping install and all three gentleman were very friendly and knowledgeable when it came to the install. They made sure the process would go smoothly and explained what they were doing in detail. A fabulous, hardworking crew and I’m happy I chose northwinds for this service! Thank you!!”

“Don and Will came to replace the furnace, A/C, and water heater at the house, and they could not have done a better job. Their expertise and professionalism made the install process very smooth, and they answered all my questions. I could not be more pleased with the job they did, and how good they are at their craft. I would highly recommend both of these professionals for any HVAC needs. In addition to being great at their jobs, they were fun to talk to and they helped educate me on a number of things. Great job Don and Will, and thank you!!!”

“It was time to replace the furnace and AC units that were original to our home built in 2001. I wanted a premium system and Trane was what we chose. North Winds was the local installer that came up when I searched online and I’m sure glad they were! Nate came out and gave us a competitive quote. Peter and Todd handled the 2 day install and they were great. Listened to and calmed some of my concerns/problem areas in our home. They showed me the ins and outs of the new systems and thermostat. I’m looking forward to a more comfortable and energy efficient home!”
- Jacob B.

- Michael C.
“Art and Todd are the dynamic duo. Worked hard and replaced our furnace in one day, even getting the sheet metal needed. Answered any and all questions happily.”
