Your heater sits idle for 8 months in Houston. Then the first cold front rolls in and it has to fire up on the coldest night of the year. That's when we see cracked igniters, dirty flame sensors and furnaces that won't stay lit.
A fall tune-up is the best way to make sure your heat works when you need it, and that your furnace runs safely. We're a family-owned company based here in Katy and have been maintaining heating systems across this area for over 16 years.
Maintenance pricing is simple:
$109
for your first system. $59 for each additional system.
Tune-ups included automatically in the Beede Preferred membership.

Every heating maintenance visit covers the same 14-point checklist. Your technician works through all of it and leaves you with a report on the condition of your system.
Safety checks:
Carbon monoxide test at the furnace and supply air
Gas line and valve checked for leaks
Flue and venting inspected for blockage and proper draft
Heat exchanger inspected for cracks and corrosion
High-limit and rollout safety switches tested
Heating performance:
Burners inspected and cleaned
Flame sensor cleaned and tested
Igniter checked for wear
Temperature rise measured to confirm the furnace is heating to spec
Air side and electrical:
Air filter checked, with a replacement recommendation and the correct size noted for you
Blower motor and wheel assessed for wear and buildup
Capacitor tested under load
Electrical connections tightened and breaker checked
Thermostat heat mode tested
If we find something that needs attention, we show you, explain what it does, and quote it before anything happens.



A burning smell that doesn't go away after the first few minutes?
The furnace turns on and off or won't stay lit?
Cold rooms or weak airflow from the vents?
Gas bills climbed without a rate change?
A yellow or flickering flame instead of steady blue?
It has been more than 12 months since a technician checked it?
We recommend two maintenance visits per year. One in the fall before heating season and the second in the spring before cooling season. Book your heating tune-up in October or November, before the first cold front. That's when every HVAC company in Houston gets slammed with no-heat calls.
Join our Beede Preferred membership to automatically include your two visits annually, along with many other benefits.
We tell you the cost before we start, and we offer financing when a full replacement is genuinely the right call. A broken or inefficient system doesn't have to mean an impossible bill.

Emergency repairs can strain scheduled maintenance, prioritizing immediate fixes over planned tasks. Maintenance anticipates issues, reducing emergency repairs. By addressing problems early, Maintenance and Tune-Ups minimizes emergencies.
Regular maintenance and tune-ups for your heating system decreases the chances of sudden breakdowns and unexpected downtime. Implementing preventive maintenance allows for early detection and resolution of issues while they're manageable, preventing costly repairs or replacement.
An efficiently operating heating system consumes less energy, leading to reduced energy bills. Without regular servicing, the system works harder to maintain comfort levels, consuming more energy and increasing costs. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance, minimizing energy consumption and associated expenses.
Regularly cleaning mold and dust from your heating and furnace system improves indoor air quality, benefiting occupants, particularly those with allergies or respiratory conditions like asthma. Additionally, this maintenance enhances the safety of your system by preventing potential fires caused by common electrical issues such as short circuits.
Routine preventive maintenance and tune-ups extends the lifespan of your heating system, reducing the frequency of issues and breakdowns that can prematurely age it. Keeping up with preventive maintenance, you ensure your system remains in optimal condition for an extended period, delaying the need for replacement.
Consistent upkeep of your heating and furnace system enhances energy efficiency, which not only benefits the environment but also promotes sustainable living. Reduced energy consumption and lower carbon emissions contribute to electricity conservation and help safeguard the planet.
