First, check your thermostat is set to 'heat' and the temperature is set higher than the current room reading. Next, ensure your furnace's power switch is on and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. For gas furnaces, verify the gas valve to the unit is open. If these basics are fine, the issue is likely with the ignition system, flame sensor, or gas valve—common problems in our cold climate. It's best to call us for a professional diagnosis to safely and quickly restore your heat.

Signs of leaky ducts in our area include uneven heating between rooms, higher-than-normal energy bills, excessive dust, and your furnace running constantly to maintain temperature. You might also feel drafts coming from vents or hear whistling noises from the ductwork. Our technicians perform a detailed inspection, often using specialized tools to measure airflow and pinpoint leaks, especially in attics, crawlspaces, and basements common to Minocqua homes.

Absolutely. In our cold climate, sealing leaky ducts is one of the most effective ways to improve heating efficiency. Leaks force your furnace to work harder, wasting heated air into unused spaces like attics. Proper sealing directs all that warm air where it belongs—into your living spaces. This not only lowers your heating bills but also reduces strain on your furnace, improves comfort by eliminating cold spots, and enhances indoor air quality by preventing dust infiltration.
