Furnace Technicians you can Trust in Fort Gratiot
hen you first call a furnace repair company, you are dealing with someone you don’t know yet. It is important that that person is someone you can trust. Vincent's Heating & Plumbing cares deeply about that trust, too, and we set a high bar for all of our technicians to make sure that they are people that you would want inside your home. All technicians are required to take a background check and a drug and alcohol screening before being hired and then randomly selected drug and alcohol screenings. All of our technicians are bonded as well.
Focused on Safety First
Gas appliances are a risk for carbon monoxide and house fires. That is why choosing a company that is focused on your safety is the most important consideration when choosing a company.
Vincent's Heating & Plumbing is invested in gas appliance safety. That is why we have all of our technicians certified in combustion safety through the National Comfort Institute. We also invest in the tools for our technicians to be able to check for carbon monoxide on every job.
When gas appliances run, they create exhaust. The exhaust is then vented out of the home though a chimney or another exhaust. However, problems can occur that can compromise the safety of your home. Some of these problems can be negated by properly setting up equipment in the first place, but as a system runs it will deteriorate and in some cases it may become unsafe. Vincent’s is deeply committed to checking the safety of gas appliances we work on every time we visit the home to make sure that you and your family are not exposed to any danger.

Ductless HeatingWhat to Look for in a Heating Contractor
Your heating system is a major component of your home’s comfort systems. It represents not only safety in winter but also a significant financial investment. That’s why it’s vital that you select the right person to repair and maintain your furnace , boiler, or heat pump. Here in Port Huron, there are plenty of HVAC companies to choose from. The below six characteristics, however, are what separate the pros from more questionable heating contractors:
- Current Insurance and Licensing: In Michigan, only contractors who meet certain training and skill requirements can obtain a license. The presence of a valid license is the best sign of a qualified HVAC contractor. To see if a potential HVAC company has one, check out their website. You’ll find ours at the bottom of our site, for instance. If you cannot find a license number, call the company and ask for it. If they cannot provide it, go with a different company.
- Comprehensive Insurance: What happens if a heating technician makes a mistake while working on your boiler and floods your home? Do you know who pays medical bills if that same person hurts themselves on your property? These two scenarios are why it’s vital that your chosen heating company carries up-to-date insurance. This is something we provide to ensure your peace of mind.
- Glowing Reviews: Check out a contractor's online review profiles. What do former clients say about them? Do you know anyone who has used them before? If so, ask if they’d refer them for heating repair or installation work in Port Huron. If they have a few negative reviews, don’t write them off. What matters most is how they handled the situation and if they responded in a professional, caring manner.
- Experience and Expertise: When it comes to heating service in Fort Gratiot or Port Huron, experience should top your list of requirements. The more years of experience an HVAC contractor or company has, the better able they are to quickly pinpoint what’s wrong with your heating system. They also tend to be more adaptable and come carrying the right equipment and parts.
- Warranties and Guarantees: Things can go wrong with even the newest heating or cooling system. How it's installed can be the cause. That’s why it’s vital to choose a heating company with a comprehensive warranty and guarantee policy. At minimum, your satisfaction should be acknowledged.
- Special Offers and Rebates: Check out what kinds of deals the company is offering. Does it align with your current heating needs? If so, print off the coupons and keep them on hand. You can check out our special offers page for discounts.
As you might guess, we possess all six of the characteristics above. Reach out to us at 810.985.7103 to schedule heating service in Fort Gratiot or Marysville.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does A Furnace Work?
- Electricity, gas, propane, or heating oil, enters your home from either the utility's network or your home's heating fuel tank.
- When the interior of your home starts to cool, the thermostat sends a call for heat to your furnace.
- When the furnace is told by the thermostat that heat is needed, the burner ignites the gas in an enclosed metal vessel called a heat exchanger. The fuel byproducts are then expelled through your exhaust vents. This stops potentially toxic gases from mixing with your home’s interior air.
- A minute or so after igniting the gas, the blower pulls air into the furnace through your ‘return air’ ductwork, and then pushes it across your furnace's now-hot heat exchanger.
- The furnace's heat exchanger transfers the heat from the burning fuel inside it, to the air passing over it.
- Your furnace’s blower fan continues to push the warmed air throughout your home until your target temperature is reached.
- Once the desired temperature is reached, your thermostat turns off the gas valve and stops the flow of warm air.
Do I Really Need Furnace Maintenance in Port Huron?
We suggest having your heater or furnace examined on a regular basis. A lot of heating failures occur because this vital part of homeownership is ignored in favor of a ‘fingers-crossed’ approach. During your inspection, our HVAC expert will look for signs of damage. They will also clean any dust away and test electrical components. From improved efficiency to manufacturer warranty requirements, there’s few better ways to protect your heating system. You can reach out to us at 810.985.7103 to schedule your furnace tune-up in Port Huron.
How Often Should I Replace my Furnace Filter?
A key part of maintaining your heating system’s performance and efficiency is regularly changing the air filter. If you have a standard 1-inch filter, changing it once-a-month is advised. For 4-inch filters, meanwhile, manufacturers recommend waiting six to nine months between replacement. If you have shedding pets in your household, check more frequently. The best way to tell if it’s time for a new one is to look at it. If it’s more gray than white, it’s likely time to swap it out.
With Brands of Furnaces and Heating Products does Vincent's Heating & Plumbing Work On?
Our heating experts work with all brands of HVAC equipment including Coleman, Carrier, Bryant, Payne, Trane, Lennox, Rheem,Ruud, Amana, Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Frigidaire, Gibson, Goodman, Maytag, Weil McLain, American Standard, General, and Dynamic.
What Do I Do if My Heat Goes Out?
- Is power getting to your furnace or heater? Is a fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Make sure your power switch is in the ON position.
- When was the last time you swapped out your filter? If it’s been a while, try installing a new filter first. This can solve a lot of heating problems.
- Verify your thermostat is set to “heat” and not “cool”. If you notice the display is dim, try swapping out the batteries on the back of the unit.
- Is there snow or other debris blocking your outdoor vent? If so, remove the obstruction. This will allow your system to work more effectively.
If you still don’t have heat, it’s time to contact Port Huron’s favorite furnace repair experts at 810.985.7103.
How Can I Reduce My Heating Bills?
Your home's heating and AC expenses are one of the biggest contributors to utility costs in Port Huron and Fort Gratiot area. You can help lower it by changing your filter and completing your required maintenance. Alternatively, you can turn your thermostat down to 68°F instead of 70°F or 72°F (20°C instead of 21°C or 22°C). To save the most money, however, consider installing a new furnace. As technology advances, furnaces have become more fuel-efficient.
How Much Does a New Furnace Cost in Port Huron?
The cost of a furnace installation is dependent on several factors including the type of furnace being installed, how much extra work is involved, and how large of a furnace you’ve chosen. Your home may also have two units which may raise the cost of a furnace replacement in Port Huron.
Your Customer Service Representative Referenced a "No-Heat Call". What Is That?
A no-heat call is an industry term referring to a customer with a complete lack of heating power. Their furnace , boiler, or heater is producing no heat whatsoever for one reason or another. Because these scenarios can be uncomfortable, especially in Port Huron's cooler seasons, we prioritize these appointments on our schedules.
