Furnace Tune-Ups
A yearly check and cleaning for gas and oil furnaces, so the burner, blower and safety controls are ready before you need them. You can book one without a service plan.

What a furnace tune-up covers
A summary of what we check. The full checklist is on our HVAC Service Plans page.
- Burner and flame We inspect the burner, clean it if it needs it, and check how it lights.
- Gas valve and gas pressure on gas furnaces.
- Safety controls Limit controls, pressure switches and flame sensing are checked.
- Venting We look over the vent connector and venting, check the draft and measure flue temperature.
- Carbon monoxide We check for any elevated CO levels.
- Blower and airflow Blower operation, wiring connections and the air filter.
- Thermostat We make sure it’s calling for heat correctly.
- Oil furnaces burner cleaning, nozzle and oil filter, plus a combustion test.
Why your furnace needs a yearly visit
A furnace pulls a lot of air through the house, and dust ends up on the blower and burner. Safety controls and venting are worth a trained look every year, especially on a gas furnace.
When to book
Before heating season, while the schedule is open. If you also have central air, ask about checking both.
What changes with your fuel
A gas or propane furnace gets a close look at the gas valve, the gas pressure, the flame sensing and the venting, because those are the parts that keep the burner lighting safely. An oil furnace has a burner much like an oil boiler’s, so its visit adds a burner cleaning, a new nozzle and oil filter, and a combustion test. Every furnace gets the blower, the filter, the safety controls and the thermostat checked.
Between visits
Look at the filter every month or two during the heating season and change it when it looks dirty. Keep boxes and storage away from the furnace so air can reach it, and so a technician can too.
