What Does a Furnace Maintenance Visit Include?

A comprehensive furnace tune-up involves more than just swapping out a filter. Our technicians perform detailed inspections to identify worn components before they cause a breakdown. 

Our maintenance visits typically include: 

• Filter inspection and replacement. A clogged filter is one of the most common reasons furnaces work harder than they should. We check your filter's condition and replace it if it's restricting airflow. 
• Burner and ignition inspection. This is a frequently overlooked step that directly affects safety and efficiency. We clean the burner assembly and test the ignition system for proper function. 
• Heat exchanger inspection. We inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, since damage here can affect performance and safety. This is a step we recommend regardless of furnace age.
• Blower motor check. A properly working blower affects how heat is distributed through your home, business, or cabin. We test the blower motor and lubricate moving parts as needed to support smooth operation. 
• Carbon monoxide test. Every visit includes a carbon monoxide safety check, since this is one of the few furnace issues that isn't always obvious without one. 
• Safety control testing. We test all safety controls and limit switches to keep your property safe and verify that your furnace will automatically shut down if a malfunction occurs. 

How Often Should I Schedule Furnace Maintenance?

We recommend scheduling furnace maintenance at least once a year for optimal performance. An annual tune-up in September or October can make a huge difference in your furnace’s performance during the coldest days. 

By having our team evaluate your furnace early, you can catch minor wear and tear before it turns into a major issue. Plus, we offer convenient scheduling options to make maintenance easier to manage, including same-day and weekend appointments.
