We Service All Types of Heating Systems
Gas Furnaces
Count on reliable and efficient heating by choosing a new gas furnace from Alliance Heating and Air. Many of today’s gas furnace models are more than 95% efficient, meaning they turn nearly all the natural gas they use into clean heat for your home.
Heat Pumps
Seeking an efficient way to heat and cool your home? For most homes in our area, a heat pump is the smart choice. They provide reliable, low-cost performance whether the August sun is beating down or a cold breeze is blowing off the Long Island Sound.
Air Handlers
Air handlers are designed to work in conjunction with forced-air heating and cooling systems, efficiently pushing the air to every corner of your home, delivering powerful performance, extra comfort, and efficient operation to keep your utility bills under control.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Ductless mini-split systems are ideal for bringing affordable cooling and heating to rooms and additions that don’t have ductwork, and for enhancing the system in places you need extra year-round comfort.

What’s Included in a Heating Maintenance Visit
Every heating system needs regular care—but the steps involved can vary depending on the type of equipment in your home. At Alliance HVAC, our technicians follow detailed maintenance checklists tailored to the system we’re working on.
Core Steps for All Systems:
1. Clean key components – Burners, coils, or heat exchangers are cleaned to ensure efficient heat transfer and safe operation.
2. Inspect electrical connections and safety controls – We check for loose wires, test safeties, and confirm proper voltage to critical components.
3. Test thermostat accuracy and system response – Your thermostat is calibrated and tested to ensure it correctly communicates with the system.
4. Verify airflow and check filters – We measure airflow through the system and inspect filters or ductwork that may restrict performance.
5. Lubricate moving parts (if applicable) – Motors, bearings, and fans are lubricated to reduce wear and noise.
6. Check for visible wear, leaks, or other issues – We look for signs of deterioration, corrosion, or anything that could lead to failure during peak use.
How Maintenance differs by system type:
Furnaces: Burner cleaning, flame sensor testing, gas pressure checks, and verifying safe startup and shutdown.
Heat Pumps: Checking refrigerant levels, defrost cycle function, reversing valve operation, and heating/cooling mode switching.
Ductless Mini-Splits: Cleaning indoor heads, testing airflow in each zone, clearing condensate lines, and inspecting the outdoor unit.
Air Handlers: Blower and coil cleaning, filter inspection, motor performance checks, and airflow or static pressure testing.
By adjusting the maintenance process to your system, we help ensure safe operation, better performance, and fewer unexpected breakdowns—especially during peak heating season.

Frequently Asked Heating Maintenance Questions
How often should I schedule heating maintenance?
We recommend once a year, ideally in early fall—before your system starts working hard. Regular maintenance is especially important in colder climates like Connecticut and New York, where heating systems run for months at a time. Annual tune-ups help prevent breakdowns, improve energy efficiency, and catch minor issues before they become expensive repairs.
What does a typical heating tune-up include?
A standard heating tune-up includes a full inspection, cleaning of key components, and a performance test. Our technicians check electrical connections, safety controls, burners or coils, thermostats, airflow, and more. We tailor the maintenance process to your specific system—whether it’s a furnace, heat pump, air handler, or ductless unit—to ensure it runs safely and efficiently all winter.
How long does a heating maintenance visit take?
Most maintenance visits take about 45 minutes to an hour. However, this can vary depending on the type of system, its age, condition, and accessibility. For example, older or neglected systems may require extra cleaning or testing. Systems in tight crawlspaces or attics may take longer to access and inspect thoroughly.
Do you only service Bridgeport?
No—Alliance HVAC proudly serves a wide area across Connecticut and New York. We provide heating maintenance in Bridgeport, Fairfield, Stratford, Trumbull, Milford, and Westport, as well as throughout Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and Suffolk counties in New York. We’re based in Bridgeport, but we’re trusted by homeowners throughout the region.
What types of heating systems do you service?
We maintain a full range of residential heating systems, including gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps, air handlers, and ductless mini-splits. If your system heats your home, we can service it—regardless of brand, age, or setup.
Is your maintenance service guaranteed?
