Overview
The Cheapest Repair Is the One You Prevent
Most no-heat emergencies don't come out of nowhere — they're small problems that went unnoticed until the first hard freeze. A yearly furnace tune-up from Mark Johnson & Sons catches them early: a weak igniter, a dirty flame sensor, a cracked heat exchanger, a blower drawing too many amps, or airflow choked by a clogged filter. We've serviced heating systems across Ruston, Monroe, West Monroe, Shreveport, and Bossier City since 1997, on every major brand — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, and more.
Our Fall heating tune-up is a full safety and performance check, not a quick glance. It keeps your family safe from carbon monoxide, keeps your bills down, and keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid — many require documented annual service, and the paperwork matters if you ever file a claim. Spend a little in October and you're far less likely to spend a lot on a no-heat night in January.
What our Fall heating tune-up covers
- Heat exchanger inspection for cracks and corrosion — the #1 carbon-monoxide risk
- Manifold gas pressure checked and adjusted to spec
- Flame sensor cleaned and microamp signal verified for reliable ignition
- Igniter and burners tested for a clean, steady blue flame
- Blower motor amp draw and capacitor measured against rated values
- Safety controls — limit switches, pressure switches, and flame rollout
- Thermostat calibration, wiring, and filter checked and replaced as needed
Why annual service matters in North Louisiana
Our furnaces sit idle most of the year, then get leaned on hard during a few sudden hard freezes — exactly when a marginal igniter or a sticky gas valve picks to fail. A tune-up finds those parts on a 60-degree afternoon instead of a 25-degree night. It also protects your wallet: a dirty filter, a weak flame, or a blower pulling too many amps all make the furnace work harder for the same heat, and even a few points of lost efficiency add up over a season.
One visit, or fold it into the plan
You can book a one-time tune-up, or make it automatic with our Classic Membership. For $189/year, members get this Fall heating tune-up plus a Spring AC tune-up and an annual plumbing and drain check-up, 15% off any repair, front-of-line scheduling, and an after-hours discount. Two seasonal tune-ups usually cost more bought separately — and we own the schedule so you never have to remember.

The Process
What's in our heating tune-up
On the truck
Professional tools, parts, and diagnostics — every call.
Filter & airflow check
We inspect and replace the filter (customer-supplied or purchased) and confirm airflow isn't choking the system.
Safety inspection
Heat exchanger, gas pressure, and all safety controls checked — the checks that protect your family from CO.
Ignition & burner service
We test the igniter and flame sensor, verify a clean steady flame, and correct a rough start before it strands you.
Electrical & blower check
Thermostat operation, wiring, blower motor amp draw, and capacitor tested and cleaned as needed.
Full-cycle verification
We run the complete heat cycle, confirm proper operation, and flag anything worth watching — with photos and honest options.
