Why Furnace Maintenance Matters
If your gas furnace or heating system is well-maintained, it may be 95% less likely to break down. This will bring you peace of mind, knowing your furnace is not likely to falter on the coldest days of the year. Avoiding breakdowns also helps you avoid costly repairs and replacements. Well-maintained heating systems are also 30% less expensive to operate.
Regular furnace maintenance also gives our technicians the opportunity to check for safety issues like gas or carbon monoxide leaks. We care deeply about empowering our customers with the right information. That’s why we never pressure our customers into unnecessary replacements if regular maintenance is enough. Our goal is simply to keep your system working at its best.
What’s Included in Heating Maintenance?
When you schedule heating maintenance with Focus Heating & Cooling, our seasoned service technicians perform a thorough multi-point inspection and cleaning. A typical furnace maintenance visit may include:
- Cleaning or replacing your furnace filter.
- Inspecting and testing the thermostat.
- Checking and cleaning burners, flame sensors, and ignition systems.
- Inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks or damage.
- Lubricating moving parts and tightening electrical connections.
- Ensuring proper airflow through vents and ductwork.
- Testing safety controls and carbon monoxide levels.
We follow proven maintenance steps so your system is ready when you need it most. If we discover something that needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly and offer honest recommendations, including whether repair or replacement will be the more cost-effective option.
How Often Do You Need Furnace Maintenance?
Most manufacturers require proof of regular maintenance at least once a year, ideally before the cold season begins. Annual furnace tune-ups keep your system efficient and address small issues before they become big problems.
Between visits, homeowners can also help by:
- Checking or replacing air filters every 1-3 months. Filters can be purchased directly from Focus Heating & Cooling.
- Keeping vents and returns clear of dust or obstructions.
- Making sure the area around the furnace is clean and uncluttered.
Signs You Need Furnace Maintenance Now
Sometimes your furnace will let you know it’s due for maintenance. Call to schedule a maintenance visit if you notice:
- Rising energy bills without a clear reason.
- Uneven heating from room to room.
- Strange noises like banging, rattling, or squealing.
- A furnace that cycles on and off more often than normal.
- Weak airflow or cold spots in your home.
These signs don’t always mean a costly repair is needed. However, they do mean it’s time to consider scheduling professional furnace maintenance.

Furnace Maintenance FAQ
How much does a furnace maintenance cost?
The cost of a furnace tune-up depends on your system and needs, but furnace maintenance is far more affordable than unexpected repairs or early replacement. Members of our Comfort Club enjoy discounts on repairs and parts.
How long does furnace maintenance take?
Most furnace maintenance appointments take approximately 60-90 minutes. If our technicians find an issue, they’ll walk you through it and provide upfront pricing for the recommended repairs in order to allow you to decide if repair or replacement is the right choice for you, the customer.
What’s the difference between maintenance and repair?
Maintenance is proactive. It’s about cleaning, testing, and preventing problems. Repairs are reactive, performed after a breakdown. Regular maintenance reduces the chance you’ll need costly emergency repairs.
