Hawthorne HVAC and Repair offers seasonal tune-ups designed to prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the life of your furnace or boiler. Our maintenance service includes a thorough inspection of all key components: heat exchanger, burners, ignition system, blower motor, filters, and thermostat calibration.
Why schedule maintenance with us? Dirty filters and worn parts force your system to work harder, increasing utility bills and risking carbon monoxide leaks. In Madison, winters can be harsh—a neglected furnace might fail on the coldest night. We clean coils, check gas pressure, test safety controls, and lubricate moving parts. You’ll receive a detailed report and honest recommendations.
Our process is simple: book online or call/text us. Brian arrives on time, wears boot covers, and works neatly. After the tune-up, we explain what we did and flag any potential issues. Most maintenance visits take under an hour. Keep your warranty valid and sleep easier knowing your heating system is ready for winter.
