Furnace Maintenance FAQs
How often should I schedule furnace maintenance?
Once per year, ideally before winter. Pair with AC maintenance in spring.
How long does a tune-up take?
Most homes take 45–90 minutes, depending on access and system condition.
Will maintenance fix a no-heat issue?
Maintenance is preventive. If your furnace isn’t heating, we’ll switch to diagnostic repair and present options.
Do you replace my filter?
Yes, if you have one on hand (or we can provide one when available). We’ll also confirm the correct size/MERV for airflow.
Do you check for carbon monoxide risks?
We review safety controls, venting/clearances, and flame quality and can place CO alarms upon request. If we suspect a heat-exchanger issue, we’ll document findings and discuss next steps.
Do you service all major brands?
Yes — we maintain most gas furnace brands commonly installed in Southern California homes.
