Comprehensive Heating Service Solutions for Marietta Homes and Businesses

When temperatures drop in Marietta, OH, reliable heating becomes essential for comfort and safety. At Morrison, Inc., we understand that efficient heating systems are the backbone of comfortable living and productive working environments throughout the cold months. Since our founding in 1961, we’ve developed extensive expertise in maintaining, repairing, and optimizing heating systems across the Mid-Ohio Valley region. Our team specializes in comprehensive heater service that keeps residential and commercial properties warm when it matters most.

The unpredictable Ohio weather patterns, particularly during transition seasons, can place tremendous stress on heating equipment. Temperature fluctuations between day and night often cause systems to cycle frequently, increasing wear on components and potentially leading to unexpected breakdowns. Our technicians regularly encounter heating systems that have been pushed beyond their optimal operating parameters, resulting in decreased efficiency and higher energy bills. Through preventive maintenance and timely repairs, we help property owners avoid the inconvenience and expense of emergency heating failures during the coldest days of winter.

Expert Furnace Service and Maintenance Programs

Furnace service requires specialized knowledge of combustion processes, electrical systems, and airflow dynamics. Modern furnaces incorporate sophisticated control boards, variable-speed blowers, and high-efficiency heat exchangers that demand precise calibration and regular attention. We service all major furnace brands and models, including single-stage, two-stage, and modulating units that achieve efficiency ratings exceeding 95 percent AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). Our technicians perform comprehensive inspections that include examining heat exchangers for cracks, testing safety controls, measuring gas pressure, analyzing combustion efficiency, and verifying proper venting to ensure safe operation.

Regular furnace maintenance extends equipment lifespan significantly beyond industry averages of 15 to 20 years. During routine service visits, we clean burner assemblies to ensure proper flame characteristics, replace filters to maintain optimal airflow, lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and wear, and test all safety devices including flame sensors and limit switches. These preventive measures typically reduce heating costs by 10 to 30 percent while preventing carbon monoxide risks associated with deteriorating heat exchangers or blocked flue passages.

Professional Boiler Service for Optimal Performance

Boiler service demands understanding of hydronic heating principles and water chemistry management. Many older homes in Marietta rely on boiler systems that distribute heat through radiators or radiant floor systems, providing comfortable, even warmth without the air movement associated with forced-air systems. We maintain both steam and hot water boilers, addressing common issues such as mineral buildup, corrosion, and pressure irregularities that can compromise system efficiency and reliability.

Our boiler maintenance protocols include testing water pH levels, inspecting expansion tanks, checking relief valves, and analyzing combustion efficiency using digital analyzers. We also examine circulator pumps, zone valves, and control systems that regulate temperature distribution throughout buildings. Modern high-efficiency condensing boilers achieve efficiency ratings above 90 percent by extracting additional heat from exhaust gases, but these systems require specialized maintenance to manage condensate acidity and ensure proper drainage.

Emergency Response and System Diagnostics

Heating emergencies never follow convenient schedules, which is why Morrison, Inc. provides 24/7 emergency services throughout the Marietta area. Our rapid response team arrives equipped with diagnostic tools and common replacement parts to restore heat quickly when systems fail unexpectedly. We utilize infrared cameras to identify heat loss patterns, combustion analyzers to verify proper fuel-air mixtures, and digital multimeters to troubleshoot electrical components.

Energy Efficiency Improvements and Indoor Air Quality

Beyond basic heating service, we help customers optimize their systems for maximum efficiency and comfort. Our indoor air quality (IAQ) ventilation services address concerns about stale air, excessive humidity, and airborne contaminants that accumulate when homes are sealed tightly for energy conservation. We install and maintain:

• Heat recovery ventilators that exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while preserving thermal energy
• Programmable thermostats that reduce energy consumption by automatically adjusting temperatures based on occupancy patterns
• Zone control systems that direct heat only where needed, eliminating waste in unoccupied areas
• High-efficiency filters that capture microscopic particles while maintaining proper system airflow

As your hometown HVAC specialists in the Mid-Ohio Valley, we combine decades of experience with ongoing training in emerging technologies. We provide high-quality residential and commercial air conditioning, heating, refrigeration, and indoor air quality ventilation services tailored to meet the specific needs of our community. Our commitment extends beyond simple repairs to encompass comprehensive system optimization that maximizes comfort while minimizing operating costs for property owners throughout the Marietta region.
