Do You Have Questions About Furnace Maintenance?
Regular furnace maintenance ensures that your system runs efficiently, safely, and reliably. It helps identify potential problems early before they become costly repairs, improves energy efficiency, extends the lifespan of your furnace, and ensures your home remains warm during the winter months.
It’s recommended to have your furnace professionally serviced at least once a year, preferably in the fall before the heating season begins. This ensures your system is prepared for the cold months and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during peak usage.
Without regular maintenance, your furnace is more likely to experience breakdowns, reduced efficiency, and a shorter lifespan. Ignoring maintenance can also lead to safety hazards such as gas leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, or electrical issues, particularly with older systems.
During a maintenance visit, a technician will perform tasks like cleaning the burner assembly, inspecting the heat exchanger, testing the ignition system, tightening electrical connections, and checking the thermostat. They will also replace or clean air filters and ensure the entire system is operating safely and efficiently.
A typical furnace maintenance visit usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the system and whether any issues are found that require additional attention.
Yes, regular furnace maintenance helps keep your system running at peak efficiency. A well-maintained furnace uses less energy to heat your home, which can result in lower utility bills. Replacing dirty filters, cleaning components, and checking thermostat settings are just a few ways maintenance helps with efficiency.
Yes, even new furnaces need regular maintenance. Most manufacturer warranties require annual maintenance to remain valid, and routine care helps ensure that your new system continues to operate efficiently and lasts longer.
The cost of furnace maintenance varies but typically ranges between $80 to $150 for a standard service visit. Many companies also offer maintenance plans or service agreements that can help reduce costs and provide priority service.
Homeowners can handle basic maintenance tasks like regularly changing the air filters and ensuring the area around the furnace is clean and unobstructed. However, for more complex tasks like checking electrical connections, cleaning internal components, and inspecting safety controls, it’s best to hire a professional.
If you notice issues like unusual noises, inconsistent heating, frequent cycling, or rising energy bills despite regular maintenance, it could indicate a more serious issue that requires repair or replacement. A professional technician can diagnose the problem during your maintenance visit and recommend the appropriate course of action.

Our furnace stopped working and they came in at a short notice within a day. The problem was with the breaker which they weren't able to fix because they weren't licensed for electrical work, but they went above and beyond to help me find an electrician to visit the same day. Highly recommend them.
On time and super professional. Great guys and great company!
