During our comprehensive heating system tune-ups, we thoroughly inspect and service furnaces, heat pumps, and boiler systems using advanced diagnostic equipment. We examine heat exchangers for any signs of wear or potential safety concerns, clean and adjust burners for optimal combustion efficiency, and test all safety controls including limit switches and pressure relief valves. Our technicians calibrate thermostats for accurate temperature control and inspect ductwork for air leaks that can waste energy and reduce comfort.
We provide complete furnace maintenance including filter replacement with high-MERV rated filters that improve indoor air quality while protecting your system’s internal components. Our team inspects and lubricates blower motors, checks belt tension and alignment, and tests variable-speed motor operations for optimal airflow. We examine gas line connections, test for proper gas pressure, and ensure combustion air intake vents remain clear of debris or obstructions.
For homes with heat pump systems, we perform specialized maintenance including refrigerant level checks, coil cleaning, and defrost cycle testing that’s essential for reliable winter operation. We inspect outdoor units for damage from ice, snow, or debris, and ensure proper drainage to prevent freeze-up issues. Our technicians test heat pump backup heating elements and verify seamless transitions between heating modes.
Our boiler maintenance services include complete system inspections, water level monitoring, pressure testing, and circulation pump maintenance. We check expansion tanks, inspect radiators and baseboard heating elements, and test zone controls for proper operation.

Last December, Patricia from near the Carversville General Store called us at 11 PM when her 15-year-old furnace stopped working during a particularly brutal cold snap with temperatures dropping to minus 8 degrees. “I was terrified my pipes would freeze before morning,” she told us later. “Two other companies I called either didn’t answer or said they couldn’t come out until the next afternoon. Central Plumbing had a technician at my door in 45 minutes, even in that terrible weather.”
Our NATE-certified technician quickly diagnosed a faulty ignition control module and had her furnace running again within an hour. Patricia was amazed that we carried the exact part she needed on our service vehicle. “They didn’t just fix the immediate problem either,” she explained. “The technician noticed my air filter was completely clogged and my ductwork had some loose connections. He fixed everything that night and explained how regular maintenance could prevent future emergencies.”
Another satisfied customer, Robert, owns several rental properties along Fleecydale Road and had been frustrated with unreliable service from his previous heating contractor. “I’d been dealing with a company that constantly showed up late, charged extra fees I wasn’t expecting, and seemed to always need to come back multiple times to actually fix problems,” he shared. “When I switched to Central Plumbing for maintenance on all my properties, the difference was like night and day. Their preventive maintenance program has virtually eliminated emergency calls, and my tenants are much happier with consistent heat all winter long.”
