A Typical Heating Appointment

When your John Stevenson Plumbing, Heating & Air technician arrives at your home, their first order of business will be to introduce themselves and put on things like gloves and boot covers that will keep your home clean. They will also ask you where your heating equipment is located so they can conduct a thorough inspection. While we understand that sometimes things get busy, taking a moment to move anything that might be in the way will help us finish our diagnosis faster while also protecting our safety.

Once we have accurately diagnosed your problem, we’ll walk you through what we have found and what we believe needs to be done. That includes offering repair options whenever possible so you can make an educated and informed decision. Our diagnostic services may have also uncovered other things that might need to be done, and we will always offer to take care of some of these other things as a part of your service as well as long as they can be feasibly done.

Once you have approved all of the work to be done (including receiving a detailed cost breakdown with no hidden fees or costs), then we set to work. Our service vans have the equipment and parts needed to complete over 90% of all services right there on the spot, and we do everything we can to minimize trips to the supply warehouse for a faster fix. Sometimes this is unavoidable, and sometimes we may need to order a specialized part for larger repairs, but we will always let you know of any delays upfront.

Finally, once the job is done, we make sure that we clean up our work area and leave it in better shape than when we arrived. We place down floor cleaners and wear boot covers to minimize tracking dust, and we always make sure to wipe down any surfaces we have come in contact with for a safer and more sanitary environment.

Within 24 hours of your appointment’s completion, we will give you a call to follow up on your experience. If you aren’t satisfied with any part of your service, let us know and we’ll figure out what we can do to make things right.

  • Why Isn't My Home Getting Warm Enough?
    There are a few reasons why your furnace may not be warming your home efficiently or evenly. One of the most common reasons is a leak in the ducting. If there is a small hole or the ducting is improperly installed, it could leak out warm air and cause the air pressure to drop and the system then provides inadequate heating. Additionally, dirty filters will also cause a restriction in airflow making the system work harder. This can lead to a broken system, which is why regularly changing and/or cleaning your air filters is so important.
