Why Maintenance Matters

Don't Let Winter Catch Your Heating Off Guard

When the temperature drops in the DMV, your heating system becomes the most important piece of equipment in your home. A furnace, boiler, or heat pump that hasn't been serviced in years is working harder than it should, costing you more every month — and far more likely to fail when you need it most.

An annual heating tune up from Armada identifies worn components, clears out buildup, verifies safety controls, and ensures your system is ready for the season. Whether you have a gas furnace, an oil boiler, or a heat pump, our technicians know exactly what to look for — and what to fix.

Common Questions

Heating Maintenance FAQ

Once a year is the standard recommendation for gas furnaces, oil boilers, and electric heating systems — ideally in the fall before heating season begins. Heat pumps that run year round benefit from twice yearly service (spring and fall) since they handle both heating and cooling.

Yes. Steam and hot water radiator systems are common in older DC and Maryland homes, and our technicians are experienced servicing them. We check the boiler, pressure relief valves, water levels, vents, and radiator traps to make sure the system is safe and heating efficiently.

Yes — heating system problems usually don't show up until they've been building for a while. Cracked heat exchangers, dirty burners, and worn components reduce safety and efficiency long before a system stops working. Annual maintenance catches these issues early, keeps your system safe, and helps maintain your manufacturer warranty.

Yes. For all gas and oil systems, our technicians inspect the heat exchanger and venting system for signs of CO risk, and we check that your system is combusting properly. We always recommend having working CO detectors in your home as well — your technician can advise on placement if needed.

We service all major brands and all heating system types — gas furnaces, oil furnaces, boilers (steam and hot water), heat pumps, electric air handlers, and packaged units. Regardless of the brand or age of your equipment, our technicians are trained and equipped to service it properly.
