How often should a furnace be serviced?

Annual furnace maintenance is generally recommended, preferably before the period when you expect to use the heating system regularly. An annual inspection can identify wear and operating problems before colder weather arrives.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

The answer depends on the furnace’s condition, repair history, performance, and the cost of the current problem. Frequent repairs, substantial corrosion, inconsistent heating, and advanced equipment age can justify discussing replacement options.

What is checked during a furnace tune-up?

A furnace tune-up can include inspection and cleaning, thermostat checks, ignition-system testing, filter service, electrical checks, and testing of operating and safety controls. The exact work depends on the furnace and its condition.

What if my furnace problem is part of a larger HVAC issue?

A technician may need to inspect connected controls, airflow, ductwork, or other heating and cooling components to isolate the cause. Lickety-Split’s HVAC service covers broader heating and cooling system needs when the issue extends beyond the furnace itself.

Furnace Services in Northeast Florida

Northeast Florida winters are mild compared with much of the country, but cold fronts can still make a dependable furnace necessary for indoor comfort. Lickety-Split provides furnace service for homeowners throughout the Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Daytona, and Orlando areas.

Signs You Need Furnace Service

Furnace problems can develop after months of limited use, especially when the system sits idle through Florida’s long cooling season. Schedule service when you notice changes in heating performance, operation, or energy use.

Uneven heating: Rooms that stay cooler than others may point to airflow restrictions, equipment problems, or declining furnace performance.
Unusual noises: Banging, rattling, squealing, or other new sounds can indicate loose or worn furnace components.
Frequent cycling: A furnace that repeatedly starts and stops may have a thermostat, airflow, safety-control, or equipment problem.
Rising energy use: An unexplained increase in heating costs can occur when a furnace has to run longer to maintain the thermostat setting.
Recurring repairs: Repeated breakdowns can make it sensible to compare another repair with furnace replacement.

Furnace Repair, Maintenance, Installation And Replacement

Lickety-Split handles the main stages of furnace ownership on one service call path. A technician can diagnose a malfunction, perform preventive furnace maintenance, or assess an aging unit when replacement may make more sense. For problems involving other types of residential heating equipment, Lickety-Split also provides heating system repair.

Furnace Repair

A furnace that will not start, produces insufficient heat, cycles abnormally, or makes unfamiliar noises needs a proper diagnosis before parts are replaced. The technician checks the system to identify the source of the failure and determine the appropriate furnace repair.

Some furnace symptoms can also involve the thermostat, electrical connections, ignition components, blower assembly, or airflow through the HVAC system. Addressing the cause rather than the symptom helps avoid repeated service calls for the same problem. If a heating failure needs prompt attention, Lickety-Split also offers emergency heating service.

Furnace Maintenance

Regular furnace maintenance gives the system a thorough check before you depend on it during colder weather. Lickety-Split’s maintenance process includes a unit inspection, thermostat calibration, pilot-light testing, fuel-level checks when applicable, and component cleaning.

Maintenance also creates an opportunity to identify wear, corrosion, dirty components, restricted airflow, or operating problems before they cause a shutdown. Filters, the blower, burners, ignition system, electrical connections, thermostat operation, and safety controls are among the components commonly checked during furnace maintenance.

Furnace Installation And Replacement

Furnace replacement becomes a consideration when an older system needs repeated repairs, develops significant corrosion or damage, or can no longer heat the home consistently. Lickety-Split’s furnace installation service includes system evaluation and installation by licensed HVAC technicians.

Proper equipment selection matters during furnace installation. The new system should fit the home’s heating requirements and existing HVAC configuration rather than simply matching the old equipment by default. After installation, the furnace should be tested for correct operation so the homeowner understands how to use the new system and thermostat.

ROSEMARY LINDSEY

Lickity Split HVAC tech, Jason, saved me once again Thursday. And….. as always, he was quick to come in the 97 degree heat outside. He helped me to get the a/c going in my house and showed me how to work the thermostat. He was so knowledgeable of how it worked and took his time to explain slowly so I could understand how it works. Thank you Jason and Kevin, who kept me in the loop of the arrive time. Never a disappointment! Kudos! to Lickity Split!

On Sunday I woke up to find no AC. Called my warranty company and they said a tech would be out on Tuesday. No show! I called and they said it would be a week before they could come out. I cancelled them and called Lickety Split who came out very quickly the same day. The tech was extremely detailed in his inspection. He took pictures of all components inside out and showed me how disgustingly nasty the 25-year-old unit was. His supervisor called and we discussed a replacement. He found several incentives for me to help with the cost. I am very pleased with this day's interactions. On Thursday morning Bob and Ayron arrived and worked all day in 95-degree heat to install the new unit. They were very friendly and professional and showed they really cared about me. They had to call in two electricians to handle some wiring. They were prompt and very professional. By early evening I was cool again. The new unit cooled very quickly and is super quiet. I am very pleased with this day's interactions. On Friday morning the electricians arrived again and replaced a circuit breaker in the main circuit breaker box. They explained the new breaker was better for the new AC unit then the old breaker. I am very pleased with Lickety Split's attention to the smallest details. Very pleased once again with their service and employees. One more contact to report. Joseph and Nate showed up after the electricians and spent the day under the house tearing out and replacing all the AC duct work. Once again, a very friendly and professional crew did an outstanding job. In summation from now on Lickety Split will get all my needed repairs in all categories of service they provide.
