What heating work do you handle?
Any brand, any age, diagnosed and quoted before we start.
Why does a two-story Springboro house never balance?
Stack effect. Warm air rises through a taller building envelope, so a single system fighting it heats the upper floor while the lower floor calls for more. Springboro's growth is concentrated in the 1990s through the 2010s, which produced more two-story houses than anywhere else on the Dayton side. Zoning an existing system usually costs less than a second system and solves the same complaint, and which one applies depends on the ductwork.
Is a 96% furnace worth the extra money over an 80%?
It depends on what the swap actually involves, not on the badge. Going from 80% to 96% means the flue changes: a condensing furnace vents in PVC out a side wall and produces condensate that needs a drain, so the job grows beyond the equipment. In a house that already has a condensing furnace, the upgrade is straightforward and the gas saving is real. In a house venting up a masonry chimney shared with a water heater, taking the furnace off that chimney can leave the water heater venting badly, and that has to be solved as part of the same job.
Should the furnace and the air conditioner be replaced together?
Not automatically, but there is a real reason it comes up. The indoor coil sits in the furnace cabinet and the two are matched as a system, so replacing one and keeping the other can leave you with a pairing that does not hit the efficiency either part was rated for. If both are near end of life, doing them together costs less than two separate jobs because it is one visit and one set of connections. If the air conditioner is eight years old and healthy, keep it and say so to anyone who tells you otherwise.
What actually happens during a furnace tune-up?
It should be a list of measurements, not a look. Combustion analysis at the flue, gas pressure at the manifold, temperature rise across the heat exchanger, amp draw on the blower and the inducer, flame sensor cleaned and its microamp signal read, safeties tested rather than assumed, and a look at the heat exchanger itself. Ask for the numbers afterwards. A visit that produces no readings gives you nothing to compare against next year, and year-on-year comparison is most of what a tune-up is actually for.
How do I know if the heat exchanger is cracked?
You mostly do not, which is why it gets checked rather than guessed at. A cracked heat exchanger can put combustion gas into the air you breathe while the furnace still appears to run normally. The signs worth calling about are a burner flame that flickers or turns yellow when the blower kicks on, soot around the burner compartment, and a carbon monoxide alarm that trips even once. A furnace with a confirmed crack gets shut off and red-tagged the same visit. That is not an upsell, it is the only legal answer, and any company that offers to keep running it is telling you something about how they work.
