Overview
What yearly furnace maintenance does for you
Your furnace moves thousands of litres of air through your home every hour it runs. Along the way it collects dust, pet hair and lint, and its burners and sensors slowly drift out of adjustment. Annual furnace maintenance resets all of that. The technician cleans the parts that matter, checks that combustion is safe, and measures how well the furnace is moving heat into your rooms.
The benefits are practical. A tuned furnace lights reliably, burns gas more completely and runs fewer, longer cycles, which is easier on the motors and on your bill. You also get a safety check of the heat exchanger and venting, the parts that keep combustion gases out of your living space. If anything is worn, you hear about it in the fall, not in the middle of a January cold snap.
Signs your furnace is overdue for maintenance
If you notice any of these, book a tune-up sooner rather than later.
Yellow or flickering flame
Burners should show a steady blue flame. Yellow or lazy flames point to poor combustion that needs checking.
New sounds at start-up
Rumbling, whistling or a small bang when the burners light are worth investigating early.
Long gap since last service
If you cannot remember the last tune-up, it has probably been too long.
Dry, stuffy indoor air
Poor airflow and dirty filters can leave rooms feeling stale and uncomfortable.
Higher bills, same settings
If gas use is rising without a colder winter, efficiency is slipping.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
When is the best time for furnace maintenance?
Late August through October is ideal, before you rely on the furnace daily. It is still worthwhile in winter if you missed it, especially if the furnace is acting up.
How long does a tune-up take?
Most visits take about an hour to an hour and a half. If we find something that needs repair, we explain it and quote it before going further.
Can maintenance extend my furnace's life?
Regular cleaning and adjustment reduce strain on motors, igniters and the heat exchanger, which helps a furnace reach the full lifespan it was designed for. It cannot make a worn-out furnace new, but it prevents avoidable damage.
What can I do between visits?
Change the filter regularly, keep the area around the furnace clear, make sure supply and return vents are not blocked by furniture, and keep outdoor vent pipes clear of leaves and snow.
Do you check carbon monoxide during maintenance?
Yes. We inspect the venting and heat exchanger and test for carbon monoxide near the appliance. We still recommend working CO alarms on every level of your home.
