Quick Facts

What Is Included in a Moore Heating Maintenance Plan?

Each annual tune-up is a real working visit, not a quick filter swap and a sales pitch. A licensed Alaska technician performs the full inspection, documents the results, and gives you a clear picture of where your system stands.

  • Furnace plans, burner cleaning, combustion analysis, heat exchanger inspection, blower service, gas pressure verification, safety control testing.
  • Boiler plans, combustion tuning, circulator inspection, expansion tank check, low-water cutoff test, zone valve verification, system pressure and pH.
  • Heat pump / AC plans, refrigerant charge verification, coil cleaning, defrost board test, condenser inspection, electrical lug check.
  • Toyostove / Monitor plans, burner pot cleaning, fuel pump check, vent inspection, igniter service.
  • Generator plans, oil and filter change, battery and transfer-switch test, exercise cycle verification.
  • Water heater plans, anode rod inspection, flush, T&P valve test, combustion check on gas units.

Why Do Alaska Homes Need Annual HVAC Maintenance More Than Lower 48 Homes?

The math is brutal: an Anchorage furnace runs roughly twice the heating hours of a Seattle furnace and four-plus times a Phoenix furnace each year. Every igniter cycle, every burner firing, every blower start counts against the equipment’s service life. Annual maintenance:

  • Catches failing igniters and flame sensors before -20°F
  • Detects cracked heat exchangers, a CO safety issue
  • Cleans coils and burners so the system hits rated AFUE
  • Verifies combustion and gas pressure (a code-required check most homeowners skip)
  • Documents service for manufacturer warranty claims
  • Extends equipment life by 3–7 years on average

How Do Member Benefits Actually Work?

  1. Priority dispatch. When you call with a no-heat emergency, members are routed to the front of the dispatch queue ahead of non-members.
  2. Discounted labor. Members receive a standing discount on hourly diagnostic and repair labor.
  3. No overtime surcharge. After-hours, weekend, and holiday emergency calls are billed at regular rates for members.
  4. Repair part discounts. Member pricing applies to most replacement parts.
  5. Scheduled outreach. Our office calls you to schedule your annual visit, you don’t have to remember.
  6. Transferable. The plan can transfer to a new homeowner if you sell, which is a documented selling point.

What Does a Maintenance Plan Cost vs. Paying Per-Visit?

Residential plans are priced as a flat annual or monthly fee depending on the equipment in your home. For most Alaska homeowners, the plan pays for itself the first time you avoid a single overtime emergency trip fee or a major repair labor charge. Contact us for current plan pricing for your specific equipment.

Do You Offer Commercial Maintenance Contracts?

Yes, multi-building portfolios, restaurants, retail, medical, and office spaces. Commercial contracts include scheduled PM visits (quarterly, semi-annual, or annual), written equipment reports, asset tagging, capital planning, and priority emergency dispatch. See our commercial HVAC services page for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my manufacturer warranty really be voided without annual maintenance?
Most major manufacturers, Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Mitsubishi, require documented annual service to honor the 10-year parts warranty. When we service your system, we log it; when you file a warranty claim later, that record matters.
For furnaces and boilers: late summer or early fall, before the heating season starts. For AC and heat pumps: spring. Members are scheduled automatically, we reach out to set the appointment.
Yes. Most Alaska homes are furnace-only, but combination plans (furnace + AC, boiler + tankless water heater, dual-fuel, etc.) are common. Pricing scales with the number of units.
Absolutely. We maintain any major brand regardless of original installer. New members get a thorough first visit so we can baseline the equipment condition.
We document it with photos, explain the issue and options, and provide a written quote. Nothing is done without your approval. Member discounts apply to the repair
