What Our Customers Say
When to Call for Professional Furnace Repair?

-
Short cycling
-
Irregular flames
-
Strange sounds from the system
-
Poor air quality
-
Cracked heat exchangers

Is Furnace Maintenance Important?
If you want to use your furnace to function without issues, then yes, furnace maintenance is important.
We recommend getting maintenance services at least once a year, preferably during late spring or early autumn. Performing maintenance during such periods ensures your heater is prepared to deliver optimal heating through the winter months.
As a reliable, local furnace service company, we can provide maintenance services to residents in all parts of Tuscaloosa. Our approach to performing maintenance will depend on if you have an oil, gas, or electric furnace in place.
For gas or oil furnaces, maintenance typically involves:
-
Cleaning or changing the air filter to ensure airflow isn’t negatively impacted.
-
Run carbon monoxide tests to ensure the furnace isn’t leaking dangerous gas.
-
Inspecting the furnace ducts for leaks and sealing any that are found.
-
Checking the blower for obstructions and clearing any that are found. The blower may also require lubrication.
-
Examining the inside of the furnace for rust, holes, separated seams, and other defects.
-
Cleaning the burners, sensor, and pilot so they can work effectively.
-
Clock the furnace’s high limit to ensure it doesn’t overheat.
By performing all of the above, we’ll ensure that your heater is operating safely and energy-efficiently, as well as capable of keeping you warm with no worries.
Is It Time to Replace Your Furnace?
Our team will go above and beyond to repair your furnace if possible, but there are cases where replacement is the more cost-effective—if not only—option.
Your furnace may be ready for a replacement if it is:
-
Older than 15 years.
-
Using more fuel than usual.
-
Requiring frequent repairs.
-
Not adequately meeting your home’s heating needs.
-
Severely damaged and would cost more to repair than replace.
We’ll always discuss your options with you and provide transparent pricing comparisons so that you can make an informed decision about the repair or replacement of your heating system.

Why is my unit making a clicking noise?
A clicking noise could indicate an electrical issue, relay switch malfunction, or debris in the fan. If the noise continues, have our professional technicians inspect your unit.
Why does my dryer smell burnt?
A burning smell from your dryer could mean lint buildup in the vent or overheating components. Turn it off immediately and call Premier Service Company for a vent cleaning and safety check.
Why is hot air blowing out of my vents when it's set to cool?
This could be due to a thermostat setting issue, a refrigerant leak, or a malfunctioning compressor. Contact us to diagnose and fix the problem.
Why is there water dripping from my vents?
Water dripping from vents can be caused by excess humidity, clogged drain lines, or poor insulation. Our team can inspect and resolve the issue to prevent further damage.
Why is the pipe on my porch or garage ceiling leaking water?
This is likely the AC’s emergency drain line, which means your main drain line is clogged. Turn off your AC and call us for service before further water damage occurs.
How often should I change my air filter?
We recommend changing your air filter every 1-3 months, depending on usage and household conditions.

Why does one door slam when the AC is on?
