What Is Furnace Maintenance?
Scheduling furnace maintenance is easy and will help keep your heating system running longer and more efficiently. During a maintenance check, our HVAC technicians will:
- Lubricate moving parts: This reduces friction and helps all moving parts run smoothly.
- Check and tighten electrical connections: Tightening your connections will reduce the risk of a fire hazard.
- Clean the blower: For your furnace to run efficiently, the motor and blower should be cleaned each season.
- Change air filter: A clean filter will allow for better airflow.
- Verify thermostat: For your system to turn on and off when it should, the thermostat should be working properly.
- Check for proper operation: The technician will make sure your unit turns on and is running efficiently.
Don’t let your furnace go unchecked this season. Schedule maintenance for your heating system for optimal use and efficiency this winter.
Why Schedule Furnace Maintenance?
There are several reasons why scheduling maintenance is important to the operation of your furnace:
- Energy savings: Did you know a well-maintained furnace can help you save money on your utility bill? Well-maintained heating systems perform more efficiently and use less energy.
- Warranty protection: If your furnace is covered by a warranty, not scheduling annual maintenance can void your protection program.
- Comfort: Don’t let frequent breakdowns keep you and your family cold this winter. Feel more comfortable in your Northeastern Pennsylvania home with a well-functioning furnace.
- Fewer breakdowns: A well-maintained furnace can help prevent frequent breakdowns, costing you less money throughout the year.
Preventative Furnace Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is vital to keeping your home affordably comfortable and safe, minimizing the risk of costly or dangerous furnace failures developing undetected. Your system wears down slightly every year, but with a tune-up each autumn before the coldest part of the year, you can keep that wear and tear in check and avoid the worst outcomes.
Our Ease Comfort Program makes this part easy. Preventative maintenance also includes a few homeowner responsibilities, such as replacing your filters as recommended by the manufacturer, cleaning any dust and debris around your unit every month or two, and quickly identifying problems and calling a professional.

Furnace Maintenance FAQs
Do I really need professional furnace maintenance?
Skipping annual tune-ups almost guarantees any number of avoidable problems will develop over your furnace’s service life. It will run less efficiently and effectively, break down more often and more severely, and could become a serious threat to your home or your safety without anyone realizing it. You’re also far more likely to need to replace your furnace early without regular maintenance.
How long will my furnace last with regular maintenance?
While there are no firm guarantees when it comes to any complex piece of equipment under regular use, regular maintenance makes your furnace far more likely to reach the upper range of longevity for its model and type. Most modern furnaces last a bit into their second decade before replacement becomes a good idea, with gas furnaces failing a little sooner than electric furnaces.
Should I wait until next year to schedule maintenance if it’s already past autumn?
If your furnace hasn’t seen a professional in years, the sooner you have someone take a look at it, the better. An old furnace in disrepair could be a gas, fire, or electrical hazard even in the off-season. If it’s already winter, you’ll want to have it at complete reliability just in case — no one enjoys waiting for a repair technician on a cold night.
