Common causes include a faulty igniter or pilot light, a tripped circuit breaker, a clogged air filter restricting airflow, a failed limit switch, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Check your thermostat settings and breaker panel first before calling for service.

If those are fine, the issue is likely inside the furnace. Above + Beyond's certified technicians diagnose the root cause quickly and carry common parts

Furnace filters should be checked monthly and replaced every 1–3 months for standard 1-inch filters. Thicker media filters (4–5 inch) can go 6–12 months. Homes with pets, high dust levels, or occupants with allergies should change filters more frequently. A clogged filter is one of the most common causes of furnace problems — it restricts airflow, causes overheating, and can lead to heat exchanger cracks.

Above + Beyond recommends the right filter type for your furnace and system during your annual tune-up and can set up a filter delivery service reminder.

A complete furnace maintenance checklist includes: replacing or cleaning the air filter, cleaning the burners, inspecting and cleaning the heat exchanger, testing the igniter and flame sensor, checking gas pressure and manifold pressure, inspecting and lubricating the blower motor, checking all electrical connections and controls, testing the limit switch and pressure switches, inspecting the flue pipe and venting, and measuring carbon monoxide levels in the flue.

Above + Beyond’s technicians follow this full checklist on every tune-up and document findings in a written report left with the homeowner.

A furnace tune-up typically costs $80–$150 for a single visit. Maintenance plan members often receive tune-ups at reduced or no additional cost as part of their plan. The cost of annual maintenance is small compared to the cost of an emergency repair or premature furnace replacement caused by neglected maintenance. A well-maintained furnace also operates more efficiently, reducing monthly energy bills.

Above + Beyond offers furnace tune-ups as standalone services and as part of annual maintenance plans that include priority scheduling and repair discounts.

Furnaces should be professionally serviced once a year, ideally in early fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance includes cleaning the burners and heat exchanger, testing all safety controls, checking the flue for obstructions, inspecting the blower motor and belt, verifying gas pressure, and testing for carbon monoxide. Homeowners should also change the filter every 1–3 months depending on filter type and household conditions.

Above + Beyond’s annual furnace tune-ups follow a comprehensive checklist and include a written report of findings so you know exactly what was done and what to watch for.

Gas furnaces are more cost-effective to operate in most U.S. climates because natural gas is generally less expensive per BTU than electricity. Gas furnaces also heat air faster and can maintain comfort during extreme cold better than electric resistance heating. Electric furnaces have lower upfront costs, no combustion safety concerns, and no gas line requirement, making them appropriate where gas service isn’t available or where a heat pump handles most of the heating load.

Above + Beyond assesses your home’s fuel source, local utility rates, and heating load to recommend the most cost-effective furnace type for your specific situation.

A standard furnace replacement in an existing home typically takes 4 to 8 hours for most installations. If ductwork modifications, new venting, gas line work, or a new thermostat are needed, the project may extend to a full day or more. Above + Beyond schedules furnace installations efficiently and communicates clearly about the expected timeline before work begins.

Leading furnace brands include Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and American Standard. Each brand offers entry-level, mid-range, and premium models. Differences between brands at similar price points are often minimal — what matters more is proper sizing, correct installation, and quality of ongoing service. A well-installed mid-tier furnace outperforms a poorly installed premium unit.

Above + Beyond installs multiple furnace brands and recommends the model that best fits your budget, efficiency goals, and existing system infrastructure.

AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to heat over a full heating season. An 80% AFUE furnace converts 80 cents of every fuel dollar into heat; the remaining 20 cents escapes through the flue. A 96% AFUE furnace loses only 4 cents per dollar. The minimum AFUE for new gas furnaces in northern climates is 80%; high-efficiency units reach 95–98%.

Above + Beyond helps homeowners evaluate whether the higher upfront cost of a 95%+ AFUE unit is justified by long-term energy savings based on your local heating degree days and fuel costs.

Furnace sizing is determined by a Manual J heat load calculation, which accounts for your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window area, local climate, infiltration rate, and ceiling height. An oversized furnace short-cycles (turns on and off too frequently), wastes energy, and creates comfort problems. An undersized furnace runs constantly and can’t maintain temperature during extreme cold.

Above + Beyond’s NATE-certified technicians perform proper Manual J calculations for every installation — we never size by square footage alone.

Furnace installation costs vary based on the unit size (BTU/hour output), efficiency rating (AFUE), fuel type (gas, electric, or propane), and any additional work needed (ductwork modifications, gas line upgrades, new thermostat). A standard gas furnace installation typically ranges from $3,000 to $7,000 all-in. High-efficiency variable-speed units at the upper end of the range offer better long-term operating economics.

Above + Beyond provides detailed, all-in installation estimates with no hidden fees. We explain the cost difference between efficiency levels so you can make an informed investment decision.

Electrical emergencies requiring immediate attention include: sparking outlets or panels, burning smell from outlets or fixtures, complete loss of power to the facility, a breaker that immediately trips after being reset, electrical shock from any outlet or fixture, or any situation where water has contacted electrical systems. These situations are fire and life safety risks that cannot wait.

Above + Beyond provides 24/7 emergency electrical response for commercial properties. Call our emergency line and a licensed electrician will be dispatched immediately.

Commercial lighting options include: LED high-bay fixtures (warehouses, gyms), recessed LED panels (offices, retail), track lighting (retail, galleries), T5/T8 LED tube fixtures (offices, storage), emergency and exit lighting (required in all commercial spaces), and outdoor LED area lighting (parking, signage). Energy-efficient LED systems reduce operating costs significantly over time and often qualify for utility rebates.

Above + Beyond designs and installs commercial lighting systems that meet code requirements, optimize energy efficiency, and create the right environment for your business.

Commercial electrical compliance involves meeting NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements, local amendments, and any applicable industry-specific codes (NFPA 101 for life safety, for example). Key compliance areas include: proper circuit capacity and protection, arc fault and ground fault protection where required, emergency lighting, exit signage, and panel labeling. Non-compliance can result in failed inspections, fines, or forced closure.

Above + Beyond designs and installs commercial electrical systems to code from the start, handles all permits, and schedules inspections to ensure your facility passes.

Tenant build-out electrical typically includes: new circuit installation for the tenant’s specific equipment, lighting layout and installation, panel capacity allocation, data and communication rough-in, installation of outlets per the floor plan, and final connections to equipment and fixtures. The scope varies by tenant type — a restaurant has very different electrical needs than a retail clothing store.

Above + Beyond works from tenant improvement drawings and coordinates with general contractors to complete electrical build-outs on schedule and within budget.

Most commercial properties eventually need a panel upgrade when: adding new equipment with significant electrical load, expanding the facility, replacing an aging or undersized panel, upgrading from three-wire to four-wire service, or when the existing panel consistently trips breakers. A 200-amp commercial panel is standard for small businesses; larger facilities may require 400–1,200 amp service.

Above + Beyond handles commercial panel assessments, load calculations, and full panel upgrade installations with all required permits and utility coordination.
