What Does a Furnace
Tune-Up Include?

A furnace tune-up is designed to prevent breakdowns by catching issues before they turn into emergencies. During maintenance, our HVAC technician will carefully inspect and service the system to make sure everything is working as it should. 

Our typical furnace maintenance services include:

  • Inspecting and testing the pilot system or electrical components
  • Checking and testing the heating elements
  • Inspecting ductwork for leaks, tears, or gaps
  • Lubricating moving parts
  • Cleaning major furnace components
  • Replacing or cleaning the air filter
  • Recalibrating the thermostat
  • Testing safety and limit switches

The Benefits of Furnace Maintenance

A clean, well-maintained furnace runs both better and safer. When dirt and dust build up, your system has to work harder, which increases strain and raises your energy bills. An improperly burning furnace can release dangerous gases. Some of the benefits of regular furnace tune-ups include:

  • Carbon monoxide leak prevention
  • Lower repair costs
  • Energy savings
  • Longer lifespan
  • Warranty protection

How to Maintain Your Furnace Between Tune-Ups

While annual professional tune-ups are essential, homeowners can take a few simple steps to keep their furnaces in good shape throughout the year. 

Here are our top tips for maintaining your furnace between tune-up appointments:

Replace your filter every 3 months (or more often if you have pets). A clean filter improves airflow, protects parts, and helps your family breathe cleaner air.

Closing vents may seem like it saves energy, but it actually forces your furnace to work harder, which can cause damage and even mold growth in ducts.

Make sure nothing is blocking airflow outside, like leaves or debris. Restricted airflow can cause performance issues and overheating.

Unusual noises, uneven heating, or frequent cycling are all signs your furnace may need professional attention.
