Furnaces are mechanical equipment that require regular maintenance, just like your car. Scheduling a furnace tune-up at the recommended intervals can help keep your heating system running efficiently and safely.
Regular furnace maintenance can also help prevent expensive repairs and identify potential issues before they turn into major problems, saving you money in the long run.

Our experienced technicians provide thorough, efficient, and reliable furnace tune-ups to keep your Denver home warm and comfortable.
We charge $120 to visit your home & diagnose the issue. You’ll be provided with all options possible. Most of our customers spent around $150 – $840* to repair their furnace in 2023*. The total cost to repair a furnace can vary widely.
Most furnaces require annual or bi-annual service. If the unit is not serviced or filter changes are not regular, units can fail prematurely. As the unit ages (typically past the 10-year mark), part failure rates increase. If you haven’t serviced your furnace lately but considering it, we offer furnace maintenance services for functioning units. The most common issues for furnaces in Colorado are sensor failure, blower or inducer draft motor failure, non-functional control boards & dirty filters.
| Type of Furnace | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Furnace Tune-Up | $120-120 |
| Furnace Tune-Up & Deep Cleaning | $180-$900+ |
Furnace maintenance typically includes several key tasks that are designed to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the furnace. Some of the tasks that are typically included in furnace maintenance include:
Inspection: A thorough inspection of the furnace and its components is performed to check for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction.
Cleaning: The furnace and its components are cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can accumulate over time.
Filter replacement: The furnace filter is checked and replaced as needed. A dirty filter can restrict airflow and make the furnace work harder, leading to reduced efficiency and increased energy costs.
Safety check: The safety features of the furnace, such as the flame sensor, limit switch, and pressure switch, are checked to make sure they are working properly.
Tightening and lubricating: Any loose parts are tightened and moving parts are lubricated to ensure proper operation and reduce wear and tear.
Testing: The furnace is tested to ensure it is operating within the manufacturer’s recommended specifications and safety standards.
Recommendations: The technician will provide recommendations for any repairs or upgrades that may be needed to keep the furnace running efficiently and safely.
It’s important to note that the tasks included in furnace maintenance may vary depending on the type of furnace and the specific needs of the furnace.
While there’s no harm in servicing the furnace every year, we find the sweet spot of value and practicality for furnace maintenance to be around 24 months depending on the property, the lifestyle of its occupants and whether filter changes are done on a regular basis. If the home is dusty or pets are present, furnace maintenance may need to happen at more regular intervals.
As homeowners, the best thing you can do is to be on top of your air filter changes and ensure your unit is not running with a clogged filter.

A furnace needs regular maintenance to ensure its efficient and safe operation. Some of the maintenance tasks that a furnace may need include:
Inspection: A thorough inspection of the furnace and its components is performed to check for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction.
Cleaning: The furnace and its components are cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can accumulate over time.
Filter replacement: The furnace filter is checked and replaced as needed. A dirty filter can restrict airflow and make the furnace work harder, leading to reduced efficiency and increased energy costs.
Safety check: The safety features of the furnace, such as the flame sensor, limit switch, and pressure switch, are checked to make sure they are working properly.
Tightening and lubricating: Any loose parts are tightened and moving parts are lubricated to ensure proper operation and reduce wear and tear.
Testing: The furnace is tested to ensure it is operating within the manufacturer’s recommended specifications and safety standards.
Combustion efficiency check: The technician will check the combustion efficiency of the furnace and adjust it as necessary.
Recommendations: The technician will provide recommendations for any repairs or upgrades that may be needed to keep the furnace running efficiently and safely.
Typically, every 1-2 years. The frequency of furnace maintenance can vary depending on the type of furnace and the manufacturer’s recommendations. It’s generally recommended to have a professional maintenance check at least once a year, typically before the start of the heating season.
Factors such as the age of the furnace, how often the furnace is used, the condition of the ductwork, and the environment of the house, can also play a role in determining the maintenance frequency. For example, a furnace that is used more frequently or is located in a dusty area may need more frequent maintenance.
It really depends on your system and your property. On average, we find that servicing the furnace every 24 months seems to be the best sweet spot for value & efficiency. However, if you’re forgetful with your filter changes or your furnace is constantly on, you’ll likely need furnace maintenance every year or in some cases, twice a year.
