Why Furnace Maintenance Matters
Just like your car needs regular oil changes, your furnace needs annual maintenance to run efficiently and reliably. Regular furnace care is essential for maintaining your system's performance and system's efficiency. A well-maintained furnace uses less energy, lasts longer, and is far less likely to break down on the coldest night of the year.
Annual maintenance is key to achieving optimal performance from your furnace.
Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
Annual maintenance helps catch potential issues early, preventing small problems from turning into expensive emergency repairs.
Lower Energy Bills
A clean, well-tuned furnace uses less fuel to heat your home, saving you money every month. Regular maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently, which helps lower monthly energy bills.
Extend Equipment Life
Regular maintenance can add years to your furnace's lifespan, delaying expensive replacement costs. By keeping up with routine care, you can avoid premature furnace replacement and ensure your heating system runs efficiently for longer.
Maintain Safety
We check for carbon monoxide leaks, gas leaks, and cracked heat exchangers to keep your family safe. Maintenance also includes checking the carbon monoxide detector to ensure your family's safety.
Preserve Warranty Coverage
Many furnace warranties require proof of annual maintenance to remain valid. Following manufacturer guidelines for maintenance is often necessary to keep your warranty valid.
Improve Comfort
A well-maintained furnace heats more evenly and consistently throughout your home. It ensures a steady flow of warm air, keeping every room comfortable even during the coldest weather.

When Should You Schedule Furnace Maintenance?
Best Time: Fall (September-November)
Schedule your furnace tune-up in early fall before you need heat. This ensures your system is ready when cold weather arrives and gives you time to make any needed repairs before winter. Scheduling maintenance in the fall is especially important due to Bay Area's climate, which features variable weather patterns that can impact heating system performance.
Frequency: Once Per Year
Annual maintenance is the industry standard. Even if your furnace seems to be working fine, yearly service prevents problems and maintains efficiency. Homeowners should schedule annual furnace maintenance services to ensure their systems operate efficiently, avoid unexpected breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of their heating equipment.
Special Cases: More Frequent Service
Consider more frequent maintenance if:
- • Your furnace is over 15 years old
- • You run your furnace heavily due to climate or preferences
- • You have pets (more dust and dander)
- • Your home is in a dusty area
- • Family members have allergies or respiratory issues
- • You experience inconsistent heating
