Furnace Maintenance
Don’t wait for the first freezing Wisconsin night to find out your furnace isn’t ready for winter. Professional furnace maintenance from Martens Heating & Cooling helps improve efficiency, catch potential problems early, and keep your heating system running reliably when you need it most.
Our experienced technicians have been helping Fox Valley homeowners prepare for Wisconsin winters since 1976.
We’ll Help You Keep the Cold Out
Early fall is one of the best times to schedule furnace maintenance in Wisconsin. Having your system inspected before temperatures drop gives you time to address potential problems before your furnace is working its hardest—and before heating companies enter their busiest season.
A seasonal furnace tune-up can help your system run more efficiently, provide consistent heat, and reduce the likelihood of an unexpected breakdown when you need it most.

Signs It’s Time for Furnace Maintenance
Switching On and Off
A problem with your heating system’s thermostat can cause it to switch on and off even when the temperature has remained the same. If you notice your boiler turning off or on at unusual intervals, it’s likely in need of a check.
Unusual Sounds
A well-running heating system should be fairly silent. If you notice whistling, gurgling, banging noises, or loud vibrations, it’s best to call a repairman right away!
Kettling
Scale buildup in the heating exchange can lead to a low rumbling sound in your boiler, this is known as kettling and is a sign that a service check is required.
Power or Gas Bill Increase
A malfunctioning heating unit could leave you stuck with an unusually high gas or electric bill. If you notice a large increase in power consumption, it might be time to have a professional take a look.
Strange Odors
Any unusual odors coming from your heater or furnace are a definite red flag that something is wrong. They could even be signs of a potentially dangerous gas leak and should never be ignored.
