What Our Furnace Tune-Up Includes
This is more than a quick look... it's a tune-up and furnace cleaning service. Our 21-point inspection is designed to address safety, efficiency, and longevity. When an Aviator technician is at your home, they will:
- Perform a Deep System Cleaning: Clean blower components, burners, and the flame sensor to ensure a clean, efficient burn and optimal airflow.
- Conduct a Full Safety Inspection: Meticulously inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, test all safety controls and shut-offs, and check for any gas or fuel leaks.
- Test & Calibrate Components: Test the thermostat, check the ignition system, measure motor voltage and amperage, and verify the system is running to the manufacturer's exact specifications.
- Check Exhaust & Airflow: Ensure all exhaust vents (flue pipes) are clear and unobstructed to prevent a dangerous backup of CO.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Lubricate all moving parts as needed to reduce friction, wear, and noise.

Our Expert Opinion: The "Tune-Up" vs. The "Safety Inspection"
Here is our honest, professional opinion: Any company can offer a cheap "$49 tune-up." Most of these are a "rip-and-read" service where a tech spends 15 minutes, changes your filter, and leaves. This is not furnace maintenance; it's a waste of your money and provides a false sense of security.
The most important part of any gas furnace maintenance service, and the one many companies rush, is the heat exchanger inspection. A tiny, hairline crack (often invisible to the untrained eye) can leak deadly, odorless carbon monoxide into your home.
Our philosophy is "Safety First." We treat your furnace maintenance service as a critical safety inspection. We take the extra time to use professional tools and our deep training to hunt for these invisible dangers. We don't just "tune" your furnace to make it efficient; we inspect it to make sure it's safe. That's the Aviator difference, and it’s a non-negotiable part of our promise to you.

Do You Have Questions About Furnace Maintenance?
es, the focus is quite different. A gas furnace maintenance service (and oil furnace cleaning) is first and foremost a safety inspection. We are meticulously checking for combustion issues, cleaning burners, and inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks that could leak carbon monoxide.
An electric furnace maintenance service, on the other hand, is focused on electrical components. We check the amp draw on the heating elements (coils), inspect high-voltage wiring, and test all electrical safeties to prevent a fire hazard. Both services, of course, include a thorough cleaning of the blower, fan, and an airflow check.
No, and this is a critical distinction. A "furnace cleaning" is just one part of a true maintenance tune-up.
Many companies advertise a cheap "cleaning service," which often just means vacuuming out the dust you can see.
Our furnace maintenance service includes a thorough cleaning (of the burners, flame sensor, and blower), but more importantly, it includes the vital safety and technical inspection. This means testing the safety shut-offs, checking electrical components, measuring gas pressure, and meticulously inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks.
A simple "cleaning" won't find a potential carbon monoxide leak. Our full maintenance service will.
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.
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.
