Tune-ups in Orono homes
A large Orono house can mix a furnace per floor, in-floor loops on a boiler, an ERV and a generator. A tune-up there is a systematic visit: we test each furnace, check the boiler and zone circulators, clean the ERV core and filters, and confirm what each thermostat controls. Ask us to write up what is installed and when it was last serviced, so the next call does not start with detective work.
Window walls facing Crystal Bay and Stubbs Bay frost over in January if the humidifier is set for November, so we check the humidity setting along with the humidifier. Side-wall vents and heat pumps on long, wooded driveways sit where nobody walks past, so we clear and check them for snow and ice. In summer we check the condensers and the condensate drains, and the dehumidifier on lake-facing lower levels. Outbuildings with heaters get the same safety check.

What does a tune-up in Orono include?
Each $129 visit covers cleaning, a safety and carbon monoxide check and a written report. Boilers, heat pumps and mini-splits fall in our $129–$349 maintenance range, confirmed when you book. Orono's lake-facing window walls are the first thing a cold snap finds.
Tune-ups in Orono: questions
Why keep a record of the equipment in a large Orono house?
With several furnaces, a boiler, in-floor loops and an ERV, nobody remembers what each thermostat controls or when each piece was last serviced. A record cuts diagnosis time and prevents mistakes, like adjusting the wrong zone. Ask us to write the details down at the tune-up so you have a copy.
What does a boiler check cover in an Orono home with in-floor heat?
We test the burner and controls, circulators, zone valves, the mixing valve, the expansion tank, the pressure and the venting, and check the antifreeze in any garage loops. A boiler visit falls in our $129–$349 maintenance range, and we confirm the price for your equipment when you book.
