If your furnace hasn’t been serviced recently, furnace maintenance services from ABT Plumbing are the fastest way to protect your home before the cold really sets in. We inspect, clean, and test every critical component of your system so it runs safely, efficiently, and reliably all winter long. We’ve built our reputation in Placer and Nevada Counties on doing the job right the first time, and on being upfront with you about cost before we ever pick up a tool. If you want a furnace you can count on this winter, book your maintenance visit today.
When you schedule furnace maintenance with ABT, you’re getting a full, hands-on inspection, not a quick once-over. Here’s what our technicians check and service on every visit:
Full inspection
We examine the heat exchanger, burners, ignition system, and safety controls, the components most responsible for both performance and safety. A cracked heat exchanger or a failing safety control is exactly the kind of issue that goes unnoticed until it becomes dangerous, so this is where our technicians spend the most time.
Carbon monoxide and gas leak testing
We use sensitive equipment capable of detecting even low levels of CO, since it’s tasteless and odorless and can displace oxygen in your home. This test alone is one of the most important reasons to have a professional inspect your furnace rather than skip a year.
Cleaning of internal components
Dust, debris, and buildup accumulate inside your furnace over time, even if you can’t see it from the outside. A thorough cleaning keeps your system from working harder than it needs to, which protects both performance and energy efficiency.
Electrical connection and capacitor checks
Loose wiring and failing capacitors are a common cause of furnaces that suddenly stop working. We catch these issues while they’re still minor, before they cause a breakdown or an electrical hazard.
Thermostat calibration
A furnace that’s working perfectly can still leave you uncomfortable if the thermostat reading is off. We calibrate it so your system heats to the temperature you actually set, not an approximation of it.
Filter inspection and replacement
A clogged filter restricts airflow and forces your furnace to strain to push air through your home. We inspect it every visit and replace it as needed to keep airflow clean and reduce wear on the system
Airflow check
We confirm your furnace is distributing heat evenly throughout the house, since uneven airflow is often the first sign of a duct, blower, or component issue that’s easy to miss otherwise.

If any of this sounds familiar, don’t wait for a full breakdown in the middle of a cold snap. Call ABT Plumbing, and let’s get ahead of it. And if your furnace needs more than routine maintenance, we also handle furnace repair and furnace replacement, so whether your system just needs a tune-up or a full upgrade, we can take care of it from start to finish.
A single yearly maintenance visit pays for itself many times over. Here’s what it does for your home and your budget:
ABT Plumbing and Drain Service was founded in 2000 by Andrew B. Twidwell, and we’ve operated in Placer and Nevada Counties ever since. Those local roots matter.
Here’s what backs it up:
We treat every home like it’s our own, because our business was built on customers who trusted us enough to send us to the people they care about most.
We recommend scheduling furnace maintenance once a year, ideally in the fall before heating season begins. That gives your system a clean bill of health before you actually need to rely on it every day.
That said, if you’re reading this mid-winter and haven’t had your furnace looked at yet, it’s not too late. It’s still worth scheduling a visit now rather than waiting until something goes wrong. If you’d rather not think about it every year, ask us about setting up recurring service so your furnace maintenance is handled automatically, without you having to remember to call.
Don’t wait for a cold morning with no heat to find out your furnace needs attention. A missed furnace maintenance visit is often the difference between a quick, affordable tune-up and an emergency call in the middle of a cold snap, and it’s a lot easier to plan ahead than to scramble when your system finally gives out. ABT Plumbing proudly serves Placer and Nevada Counties with expert furnace maintenance, backed by decades of hands-on experience and a reputation built on referrals from homeowners who trust us to do the job right. Call us today at 530-886-8700 to schedule your appointment and get an upfront price.
Most maintenance visits are completed in a single visit, though the exact time depends on your system’s condition and size.
Maintenance is a scheduled inspection and tune-up meant to prevent problems before they start. Repair addresses a specific issue after something has already gone wrong. Regular maintenance is what helps you avoid needing repairs in the first place.
Yes. While we’re proud Amana dealers, one of the last major heating and air brands still made in the United States, our technicians are equipped to service furnaces of all major brands and types.
Fall, before the cold weather hits, is ideal. But if you’ve missed that window, it’s still worth scheduling maintenance now rather than waiting until next year.
