How often should my furnace be serviced?

Your furnace should be professionally serviced at least once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, and extends the life of your system. Spencer Home Services offers comprehensive heating tune-ups for homeowners. Call (978) 293-5770 to schedule.

When should I replace my furnace vs. repair it?

Consider furnace replacement if your system is over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, your energy bills are rising, or it struggles to heat your home evenly. As a rule of thumb, if a repair costs more than 50% of a new system, replacement is the smarter investment. Spencer provides free estimates on installations and replacements.

How long does a furnace installation take?

A standard furnace installation typically takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. If ductwork modifications are needed, it may take an additional day. Spencer Home Services handles the entire process — removal of the old unit, installation, testing, and cleanup — so your home is warm again as quickly as possible.

What are the signs my furnace is failing?

Common signs include strange noises (banging, rattling, squealing), uneven heating throughout your home, a yellow or flickering pilot light, rising energy bills, frequent cycling on and off, and the system being over 15 years old. If you notice any of these in your home, call Spencer at (978) 293-5770 for a same-day diagnostic.

What’s included in a heating tune-up?

A Spencer heating tune-up includes inspection of all components, thermostat calibration, filter replacement, burner and heat exchanger cleaning, safety control testing, carbon monoxide check, and efficiency measurement. We check for potential issues before they become expensive repairs. Same-day service available.

Thank you Stephen and Brian and team for helping me get my driveway paved. I appreciate your help with permitting and scheduling.

Adding an update now that I see how badly the light poles are damaged. I specifically told the people who came out to put forms around these lights and they didn’t do so and now look what has happened - more work. Companies should respect the homeowners when they make a specific request like this because there’s a good reason for it because in order to locate the electric electrical, I’m going to have to dig up the new asphalt. This is a real problem and the drainage is a little messed up as well.  Not so happy now.

Update: They sent out an electrician first thing and are going to locate a similar lamp and do the repair. Thanks guys!!! I really appreciate a company that stands by its work!!!!

Spencer Home Services is great. From a very responsive customer call center to a timely technician visit, every step of this stressful process was made easy. Our water heater kicked out on us on a Friday afternoon heading into a Nor'easter weather weekend....ugh....we were up and running with a new system by 5pm. Cannot thank the technicians enough. Shane and Steve were competent, respectful, and efficient. Thank you. Highly, highly recommend Spencer Home Services!!

I needed a sewer line replaced on my property in Lowell. The issue was a complicated one but Will came out to assess the problem and gave me a fair price (much cheaper than another company!). Then the team of Oscar, Bryan, Paul, Julio, Cesar, and others came out and banged out the job in one (long) day. They crushed it. Highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience with Spencer Home Services replacing my main water line — nearly 200 feet long! The crew worked efficiently and managed to finish everything within a single day, which was very impressive.

The pricing was great, and the team went above and beyond with the cleanup and grading afterward — the yard looked neat and well-restored when they were done.

Special thanks to Bryan Paul, Julio, Brian, Oscar, and Cesar for their professionalism, hard work, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Spencer Home Services for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality service!

Great company, actually stands by their warranty!

Spencer Home Services put in a new main sewer line for me last August. Over the winter, the street patch settled a bit and started turning into a pothole. I called them up to see if they’d fix it under their warranty, and they were awesome about it.

First, they sent someone out two weeks ago to run a camera down the whole pipe. They wanted to make sure the shifting dirt didn't cause any sagging or bellies underground, and they did the inspection with absolutely no pushback or extra fees.

Once we confirmed the pipe was in perfect shape, they scheduled a crew to come back today to fix the road. They cut a clean square and put down a really solid, hot asphalt patch that's completely level with the street.

It's rare to find a company that actually stands by their work and coordinates everything without a fight. Highly recommend them!

I had two projects done at my property. One was reline my sewer line and install a line for a basement half bathroom. The other was replacing my hot water storage tank. The worker quality was excellent, the only problem I had was finding the offices to pay off the work

I had 2 mini split systems installed in my townhome on the second and third floors. The work was done carefully and with good attention to details both outside and inside by Charles Barragan and John Sacharczyk.
They provided thorough instruction with demonstrations on how to operate the systems with a remote regarding all modes, options etc . I am extremely pleased with the service from Spencer Home Service from estimate to completion. Charles and John provided  high quality work and were in a pleasure to work with.

155

nights below freezing, in an average year

What winter actually asks of a system in Hampton Falls

Hampton Falls drops below freezing on about 155 nights a year, and below 10°F on about 26 of them. Those coldest nights — not the average winter day — are what a furnace, boiler or heat pump has to be sized for. A system that keeps up in November and struggles in January is usually a sizing problem, not a broken one.
