Dead River Company | Reliable HVAC Repair in Houlton, ME

Common signs include a strange, chemical-like odor (similar to formaldehyde), visible cracks or rust on the furnace burner, soot buildup inside the furnace, or moisture on interior windows. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety hazard as it can leak carbon monoxide. If you notice any of these signs, especially during our cold seasons, contact us immediately for a professional inspection and repair to keep your family safe.

In the Houlton area, with our heating season and potential for dust, we recommend checking your filter monthly and changing it at least every 90 days. During peak heating months, you may need to change it as often as every 30-60 days if you have pets or allergies. A clogged filter forces your system to work harder, increasing energy bills and the risk of breakdowns. We can help you select the right filter and set a maintenance schedule.
