How often should a furnace be serviced?

Annual Servicing: Recommended at least once a year, ideally in the fall before winter.

Benefits of Maintenance:

  • Identifies potential problems and wear.
  • Inspects and cleans key components (burner, heat exchanger, blower motor, thermostat).
  • Checks for gas leaks, carbon monoxide levels, and proper circulation.
  • Lubricates moving parts, tightens wiring, and replaces/cleans air filters.
  • Enhances efficiency and extends service life.
  • Saves on energy costs.

Warranty Considerations:

  • Some manufacturers require annual maintenance for warranty validity.
  • Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased efficiency, more frequent issues, and potential safety risks.

Additional Maintenance:

  • Consider biannual servicing if you have a newer furnace or live in a region with extreme cold.

If it’s been over a year since your last service, contact Boonstra Heating and Air Conditioning. We’re available 24/7 with no extra fees for after-hours or holiday appointments. We also offer information on discounts and financing options for furnace replacements in Hamilton.

What time of year is best for furnace maintenance?

The ideal time for furnace maintenance is fall, just before winter. This ensures your furnace is in top shape to keep you warm during cold months. Scheduling maintenance in fall allows HVAC technicians to thoroughly inspect and clean your system, addressing any issues before they escalate.

Fall is also less busy for technicians, meaning you can avoid long wait times for appointments. Regular maintenance provides safety, with professionals checking for gas leaks and carbon monoxide levels.

At Boonstra Heating and Air Conditioning, we offer customizable furnace protection plans to ensure your system receives the annual maintenance it needs without hassle.

If you’re overdue for maintenance, our certified technicians are available 24/7 with no extra fees for after-hours service. We also provide information on cost-effective options for furnace replacements and our protection plans.

    Furnace Maintenance & Tune-Up FAQs

Furnace Maintenance & Tune-Up FAQs

Questions about Boonstra’s home furnace maintenance services? Get answers here!

Is furnace maintenance necessary? Why do I need a tune-up?

Furnace maintenance is an important part of preparing for fall & winter.  

Getting ready for the chillier months (not to mention the downright frozen ones) means making sure your home’s heating system is ready to run at top quality to keep you comfortable from autumn until April. 

A tune-up is essential because it allows our HVAC technicians to check for any issues with core components of your furnace – heat exchanger, igniter & pilot lights, burners, gas valve, thermocouple, flame sensor, draft inducer motor, pressure switch, blower motor & return air filter. 

Any issues that may hinder your furnace’s performance can then be addressed, ensuring there are no interruptions to your home comfort throughout the colder months. 

The proactive nature of furnace maintenance also means you can avoid nasty, expensive, middle-of-the-night repairs during a classic Canadian cold snap, giving you peace of mind all winter long. 

Will furnace maintenance save me money?

Furnace maintenance can help you identify any potential problems with your home’s heating system before they cause a breakdown, which means you’ll avoid the cost of any future repairs that may have resulted from letting the problem persist.

These potential savings are a main reason it’s a good idea to get a furnace tune-up in the late summer or early fall months: act now so you don’t have to pay more later.

Will maintenance improve my furnace’s performance over the winter?

Yes, a furnace tune-up can help ensure your furnace runs at peak performance throughout the winter months.

Boonstra’s HVAC technicians will look for any potential problems with the main parts of your furnace, allowing them to proactively repair them before they cause a major issue when you need your home heating system the most.

What does a furnace tune-up include?

During a tune-up, Boonstra’s HVAC technicians will: 

Check all essential aspects of your furnace: 

  • Heat exchanger 
  • Igniter & pilot lights 
  • Burners 
  • Gas valve 
  • Thermocouple 
  • Flame sensor 
  • Draft inducer motor 
  • Pressure switch 
  • Blower motor 
  • Return air filter 
  • Perform preventative maintenance on any problematic parts of your system, helping you save time & money down the road 
  • Advise you on any further maintenance or repairs that may be necessary in the future

Do you offer furnace maintenance plans for future tune-ups?

Yes, we do! See our protection plans page for more information or contact a Boonstra Home Comfort Advisor near you today.

How often should I get furnace maintenance?

You should schedule furnace maintenance once per year.

An annual appointment gives our technicians a chance to evaluate your furnace and detect any issues.

A properly maintained furnace will run more efficiently and more reliably, saving you money and the stress of unexpected furnace issues.
