Heating System Tune-up

Your heating system becomes less efficient and reliable as it accumulates dust and dirt throughout the year – which costs you money in increased utility and repair bills.

After reviewing thousands of repair calls, we discovered that over 70% of these calls could have been avoided with regular maintenance. So we developed a comprehensive 21-step tune-up that reduces expensive repairs and increases your system’s efficiency (saving you money).

Thornton & Grooms offers a 21-step precision tune-up.
Your Thornton & Grooms Technician will perform a complete 21-step precision tune-up on your furnace or boiler and professional cleaning.

Our Guarantee: Your Money’s Worth Or You Don’t Pay. 
You’ll have peace of mind that if your system breaks down after your tune-up, we’ll refund the entire cost of the tune-up or credit it to any necessary repair. And if you don’t see a savings on your utility bill, or don’t feel that it was worth the money, we will give you a refund … NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
