Our team handles the entire job, from removing the old system to installing the new one and testing it for even heat. With the right setup, you’ll enjoy lower utility bills and a furnace that doesn’t struggle when temperatures dip below zero.

Electric Furnace Maintenance and Tune-Ups

Electric systems rely on precise electrical connections to stay safe and efficient. During each tune-up, our technicians check every component carefully. We inspect wiring, test amperage draw, and make sure limit switches and thermostats are working properly.

Routine maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns and keeps your electric bill under control. It also ensures that your furnace is ready when Iowa’s deep freeze rolls in.

Signs Your Electric Furnace Needs Immediate Attention

Some heating issues show up suddenly. Others creep in over time. Either way, these are signs you shouldn’t ignore:

• The furnace runs but blows cool air instead of warm
• A sharp or burning smell when the system turns on
• Circuit breakers tripping when the heat cycles
• Whining or grinding noises coming from the blower
• Rooms that stay cold even when the thermostat is set high
• If you notice any of these, call Schaal before the problem gets worse. Waiting almost always costs more.
