What is a Professional Furnace Tune-Up?


It's a comprehensive, multi-point inspection and cleaning.

  • Clean Critical Components: We clean the furnace burners, the flame sensor, and the blower motor. A clean system is an efficient system.
  • Test All Safety Switches: We test the high-limit switch and other safeties to ensure your furnace will shut off properly if it overheats.
  • Inspect the Heat Exchanger: This is the most important safety check. A cracked heat exchanger can leak deadly, odorless carbon monoxide into your home. We perform a visual inspection to look for cracks.
  • Test Ignition & Operation: We test the ignitor or pilot light and monitor a full heating cycle to ensure every component is working in harmony.

The Benefits of an Annual Tune-Up


  • Safety: The carbon monoxide check is a non-negotiable part of home safety.
  • Prevent Breakdowns: We catch failing parts before they break on the coldest night of the year.
  • Lower Bills: A clean, tuned-up furnace runs more efficiently, saving you money on your heating bills.
  • Longer Lifespan: A well-maintained furnace can last 5-10 years longer than a neglected one.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • How often do I need a furnace tune-up? You should have your furnace professionally tuned up once per year, in the fall, before the heating season begins.
  • Is this the same as an air duct cleaning? No, but they work together. A tune-up cleans the "engine" (the furnace), while an air duct cleaning cleans the "highways" (the ducts). We often recommend doing them at the same time.
  • My furnace is only 3 years old. Do I still need this? Yes. Most manufacturers' warranties are void if you cannot prove you've had annual professional maintenance.
  • Do you have carbon monoxide detectors? A tune-up is the best way to prevent carbon monoxide from being created. However, you should also have working CO detectors on every level of your home.
