An oil furnace needs annual service more than a gas one does, the nozzle, the oil filter, and the soot all need attention every single year. The problem for Brighton homeowners is that most Rochester HVAC companies have dropped fuel oil, so an oil furnace tune-up is genuinely hard to book. We still do it, and we do it right. If you have a gas furnace, we give it the same full tune-up and safety check. Either way you get an owner who knows the system, not a rushed once-over.
Because we service every brand, gas and oil, it does not matter who installed your furnace or how old it is. Justin or Colby does the work, so the person cleaning your furnace is the one who can catch a problem or a safety issue before it becomes a mid-winter emergency. You get a straight read on how it is doing and what, if anything, it needs.
Justin VanCassele and Colby Baker run AmeriHeat together. Colby is a veteran. Both owners are on jobs every week across Rochester and Monroe, Wayne and Ontario Counties.

A full furnace tune-up is more than a filter swap. This is the work we do on every Brighton furnace we service, gas or oil.
We check the filter and replace it if it is dirty. A clogged filter chokes airflow, overworks the furnace, and is the number one cause of avoidable breakdowns.
On an oil furnace we replace the nozzle, change the oil filter, clean the soot the burner leaves behind, and set the combustion for clean, efficient burning. This is the annual service oil systems need and most Rochester companies no longer offer. We still do it, and do it right.
We inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, test the combustion, and check for carbon monoxide, the thing you cannot see or smell. On the old furnaces common in Brighton, this is the check that matters most.
We clean the burners and check the flame on gas systems. Dirty burners waste fuel, run rough, and lead to the uneven flame that causes bigger problems later.
We check the blower, the motor, and the airflow so the furnace moves heat through your home evenly and does not overheat and short cycle.
We inspect the wiring, the controls, and the safety switches, then test the thermostat so the whole system starts, runs, and stops the way it should.
Once a year, before the heating season. For a gas furnace, fall is the ideal time to get it clean, safe, and ready. For an oil furnace, annual service is not optional, the nozzle, oil filter, and soot need attention every year to keep it burning clean and safe. Either way, the one job that is yours in between is changing the air filter every one to three months.
A gas furnace should be cleaned, tested, and safety checked once a year, ideally in the fall before the cold sets in.
An oil furnace needs annual service, the nozzle, oil filter, and soot cleaning are yearly work. It is exactly the service most Rochester companies stopped offering, and we still do.
Oil burns dirtier than gas, so an oil furnace builds up soot and its nozzle wears every season. Skip the annual service and the burner runs rich, wastes oil, sooties up, and eventually fails or runs unsafely. A yearly oil tune-up, new nozzle, fresh oil filter, a proper soot cleaning, and a combustion adjustment, keeps it burning clean, efficient, and safe. On the older Brighton homes still running oil, this is the single most valuable thing you can do for the system.
A working carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home is a must with any fuel-burning furnace, gas or oil. We will point out if yours are missing or expired while we are there.
This is the part most people do not know until it is too late. Most furnace manufacturers require proof of regular professional maintenance to honor a warranty claim. If a part fails in year six and you cannot show the furnace was maintained, the manufacturer can deny the claim and you pay out of pocket. A documented tune-up is cheap insurance against a bill like that.
We keep a record of every tune-up we do on your Brighton furnace, so if you ever need to make a warranty claim, you have the maintenance history to back it up.
A clean, well-tuned furnace uses less fuel to make the same heat, so your winter bills stay lower, and that gap is even bigger on oil. It also lasts longer and breaks down less. Spending a little on a yearly tune-up is far cheaper than a mid-winter no-heat repair or an early replacement.
Book a tune-up with the owners. We still do oil, no plan required.
A standard furnace tune-up takes about an hour, sometimes a bit longer on an oil furnace, where the nozzle, filter, and soot cleaning add time. We do not rush it. The whole point is doing the full job right, especially the safety checks, and we will tell you what we found before we leave.
