Was very happy I saved my invoice from 2019 for repair work done by Paul. System at new to me house was in need of service and he knew exactly what was wrong and explained it and fixed it. Recommended new system in near future, which I am considering. Also answered questions and just made things simple.

Alyssa answered the phone and did a great job of getting me taken care of- could not ask for better. Just Kudos!!! Will be recommending to my neighbors.

Lee Collins is the best HVAC (Air conditioning) company I know. I have been using them for years! They replaced my AC unit awhile back and did a wonderful job for me. From start to finish, this company was professional, took the time to explain things to me and the only way you knew they had been out to my home was there was a new AC unit on my roof, They cleaned up from the job site and kept me in the loop on everything they did. I called Lee Collins on Tuesday 7-26 with an issue from the rain storm and they were out that afternoon, took care of the problem and I know I will have nothing to worry about from this service call.

People do not normally take the time to say good things about a company, but I can highly recommend Lee Collins. From the office staff to the tech that run the service calls, this is an Awesome Company!

Thank you Lee Collins for being there for us!

I called on a Sunday because our AC unit appeared to have quit blowing cold air. Unsure of the problem, but with the house warming throughout quickly, I called Lee Collins AC. I was impressed with the kind, helpful, and quick customer service and response time even during the weekend on off hours. Joseph was our technician. I appreciated his communication and responsiveness. He was able to get our AC back on track on the same day service call, which we were very grateful for as the the weather is getting warmer by the day! We had a very positive experience with all of their team members that we spoke to that day from scheduling to technician. I would highly recommend Lee Collins AC and will continue to use them for our AC/HVAC maintenance and service in the future.

Once you’ve found a qualified HVAC technician, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the inspection. First, make sure that the area around your furnace is clean and clear of any debris. This will give the technician a clear view of the unit and make it easier to identify any potential problems. You should also create a list of any questions or concerns you have about your furnace – this way, you can be sure that all of your bases are covered during the inspection.

During The Furnace Inspection

The technician will start by taking a look at the exterior of your furnace to check for any signs of wear or damage. They will then open up the unit to inspect the interior components, including the heat exchanger, burners, and blower motor. The technician will also test the furnace’s safety controls and measure the flue gas temperature and draft pressure to ensure that everything is within manufacturer specifications. After the inspection is complete, the technician will provide you with a report detailing their findings and recommendations.

What to do if problems are found during the Furnace Inspection

If any problems are found during the inspection, the technician will provide you with a list of recommended repairs or replacements. It’s important to note that not all furnace problems require immediate attention – in some cases, it may be more cost-effective to wait until the problem becomes more serious before taking action. However, if the problem is deemed to be a safety hazard, it’s important to take care of it right away. Your HVAC technician can help you determine the best course of action for your particular situation.

How Often Should I Have My Furnace Inspected?

Furnaces should be inspected every year by a qualified HVAC technician. This will help ensure that your furnace is in good working order and operating safely and efficiently.
