Heating Maintenance Plans for Homeowners Across Acadiana
Furnaces and heat pumps sit unused for most of the year in South Louisiana, which might suggest less wear and tear, but it actually works against you. A system that’s been idle for months is more likely to reveal a problem the moment it’s finally called on, usually on the first genuinely cold night of the year, when a technician is hardest to schedule quickly.
Butcher AC’s Heating Maintenance Agreement keeps your furnace or heat pump ready before that moment arrives, with routine tune-ups, real savings, and priority scheduling built in. It’s the same agreement that covers your AC system too, one plan, two seasonal visits a year, not a separate contract to manage.
What Your Heating Maintenance Agreement Covers
One agreement, built around keeping you comfortable in every season, not just this one.
Two Annual Tune-Ups
We inspect and service your heating system before cold weather arrives, catching issues while they’re still simple fixes instead of mid-winter emergencies.
10% Off Parts and Labor
Members save 10% on parts and labor for any service work beyond the routine maintenance already included.
No Overtime Charges
If your system needs attention outside normal business hours, agreement members are never charged overtime rates.
A Local, Family-Run Team You Can Count On
Butcher Air Conditioning has kept Lafayette homes comfortable for 77 years. Maintenance members deal directly with our own local technicians.
Why Heating Maintenance Matters, Whichever System You Have
Furnaces and heat pumps fail for different reasons, which is exactly why a proper tune-up looks a little different depending on which one is in your Acadiana home.
A furnace tune-up typically checks:
- Ignition system and pilot assembly
- Heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion
- Gas pressure and connections
- Blower motor and belt condition
- Carbon monoxide levels for safety
A heat pump tune-up typically checks:
- Refrigerant levels and pressure
- Reversing valve function
- Outdoor coil for ice buildup or debris
- Defrost cycle performance
- Electrical connections and capacitor health
Skipping a season on either system means these small issues go unnoticed until the system is actually working hard to keep your home warm, which is exactly when you don’t want a surprise.

Get Ahead of Winter Before It Gets Ahead of You
A maintenance agreement costs far less than an emergency repair on the coldest night of the year, and it means one less thing to think about all season.
What Acadiana Homeowners Want to Know About Heating Maintenance
It’s arguably more important here, not less. Systems that sit unused for most of the year are more prone to hidden issues, like a corroded heat exchanger or a seized blower motor, that only surface once the system is finally asked to run. A brief mild season doesn’t mean less wear; it just means problems go unnoticed longer.
Yes. This is the same single agreement that covers your AC system, not a separate plan. You get two seasonal visits a year total, one for cooling and one for heating, along with the same discounts and priority scheduling year-round.
Pricing depends on your system type and household needs. Use the calculator above for an estimate, or reach out, and we’ll walk you through exact pricing for your home.
Early fall, before the first cold front moves through, is ideal. Scheduling ahead of the season means any issues get caught and fixed before you actually need the system to keep your home warm, rather than discovering a problem the first night you turn it on.
Yes. Checking carbon monoxide levels is a standard part of every furnace tune-up, since a cracked heat exchanger or improper ventilation can allow CO to enter your home. This is one of the more important safety reasons to keep up with regular furnace maintenance, not just a comfort or efficiency issue.
