Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Signs That My Furnace Needs Repair?
Common signs include inadequate heating, frequent cycling, strange noises, and a sudden increase in energy bills. If you notice these signs, it’s crucial to seek professional assistance to prevent further damage. Our experts are adept at diagnosing these issues and providing timely repairs to restore your furnace’s efficiency.
How Often Should I Schedule Furnace Maintenance?
Regular maintenance is key to optimal furnace performance and longevity. We recommend scheduling a professional tune-up at least once a year, ideally before the cold season begins. Routine maintenance helps identify potential issues early and ensures your system runs efficiently when you need it most.
What Should I Do if My Furnace Stops Working?
If your furnace stops working, check the thermostat settings and ensure it’s set to “heat.” Inspect the circuit breakers and replace any blown fuses. If these basic checks don’t resolve the issue, it’s time to contact our 24/7 emergency services. Our skilled technicians will promptly address and resolve the problem, restoring comfort to your home.
Additionally, keep a clear perimeter around your furnace, ensuring that nothing obstructs airflow. Check vents for blockages that may impede the furnace's circulation efficacy. Doing these initial checks can sometimes resolve minor problems or help gather necessary information when speaking with our technicians to expedite the repair process.
Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Old Furnace?
This depends on factors like the age of your furnace, frequency of repairs, and overall efficiency. If your system is over 15 years old and requires frequent repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective. Our team can assess your furnace’s condition and recommend the best course of action based on your specific needs and budget.
Moreover, consider the furnace's safety and efficiency ratings. Newer models often come with technological advancements such as better energy efficiency and improved safety features. Transitioning to a newer model can offer not only better performance but also long-term savings on utility bills, making it a wise investment for many homeowners in Stuart.
How Can I Improve My Furnace’s Efficiency?
Improving furnace efficiency involves regular maintenance, timely filter changes, and ensuring proper thermostat settings. Sealing leaks in your ductwork and insulating your home can also enhance efficiency. Our professionals can provide tailored advice during inspections, helping you maximize your furnace’s performance and reduce energy costs.
Another practical tip is investing in a smart thermostat that adjusts to your schedule, optimizing heating to suit your household's needs while saving energy. Simple steps like keeping curtains open during the day to let sunlight in, and closing them at night, can also help maintain a consistent temperature, reducing the workload on your furnace.

Truly superb and outstanding. We've used several plumbers here in Port St. Lucie and thought they were okay but when our kitchen sink wouldn't drain in our 50+ year old house, the others only charged money without fixing our problem. First Choice not only arrived quickly and charged a very fair price, they worked tirelessly snaking the sink plumbing and roof exhaust until the debris clogging things up was removed and our sink was in excellent working condition. We strongly recommend them.
