What Does A Furnace Tune-Up Include?

Most car owners are aware of the maintenance chores they need to be performed on their vehicles throughout the year. Whether it’s adding oil, checking liquid levels, or just refilling the gas tank, your vehicle operates efficiently when it is taken care of.

Your Blanco furnace is the exact same. When our technicians come to your home for a tune-up appointment, they use their years of experience to evaluate your heating system’s function. They check a long list of components that allow your system to run efficiently to make sure they are clean and working without issue.

They also take the time to adjust the settings and hear concerns you may have about your comfort level. This is the perfect time to ask questions about your current heater, future upgrades or any curiosities you have about your system.

• Safety controls & combustion checks (gas units)
• Electrical testing, tightening, and calibration
• Airflow measurements and filter check/replacement
• Blower cleaning, lubrication of moving parts
• Thermostat verification and system performance test

What Is The Advantage of Blanco Heater Maintenance?

Heating maintenance is much more than a simple check-up. Annual heater care can lead to some great benefits for your home’s efficiency and health. Time after time our technicians have seen these results from their customers, and you could too!

• Longer Lifespan – With scheduled attention, your heater will run healthily for most of its life. This extends the predicted lifespan and pushes the need for furnace replacement off as long as possible.
• Reduced Energy Use – Your furnace can only run on maximum efficiency if it is finely tuned and in prime health. Your unit will start to produce high results and use less energy in the process.
• Lower Energy Bills – When your unit starts using less energy to heat your home, your monthly bill will decline. Both your heater and your wallet will thank you!
• Efficient Performance – Your struggle with feeling chilly or having to wait for your home to warm is over. Higher efficiency means your home will heat up quicker and more accurately.
• Fewer Repairs – A unit left to its own devices is going to deteriorate faster to need frequent repairs. Not only does this cost you money, but it also brings your unit closer to replacement during every stressor and breakdown.

Furnace Maintenance FAQs

How often should I schedule a furnace tune-up in Blanco?

Once a year is ideal. In our area, late summer to early fall is best so your system is inspected, cleaned, and adjusted before the first cold snap.

What’s included in a professional furnace tune-up?

A licensed technician will inspect safety controls, check gas pressure and connections (for gas units), test electrical components, tighten connections, lubricate moving parts, clean burners and flame sensor, check/blow out condensate drains, inspect heat exchanger, verify thermostat operation, replace/clean filters, and run a full performance test.

How long does a furnace tune-up take?

Most visits take 60–90 minutes depending on system condition and accessibility.

Do I really need annual maintenance if I barely use my furnace?

Yes. Months of sitting idle allow dust, corrosion, and minor wear to build up. A yearly tune-up helps prevent start-up issues, improves safety, and keeps efficiency high when you do need heat.

What does a furnace tune-up cost?

Pricing varies by system type and condition. Many homeowners opt for a maintenance plan to lock in value and priority service. Ask our team for today’s tune-up specials.

What is the “$5,000 rule” for HVAC?

Multiply your furnace’s age by the estimated repair cost. If the total is over $5,000, replacement may be the smarter long-term choice; if it’s under, repair often makes sense. We’ll walk you through both options after an inspection.

Can I perform furnace maintenance myself?

You can replace filters and keep the area around the unit clear. Leave electrical, gas, combustion, and safety checks to licensed professionals for your safety and warranty protection.

What are signs I should call for service now?

Unusual noises or smells, short-cycling, uneven or inadequate heat, rising energy bills, frequent breaker trips, a yellow (not blue) burner flame on gas units, or any error codes on the thermostat/control board.

How long do furnaces typically last in the Hill Country?

About 15–20 years for gas and 15–25 for electric, depending on usage and maintenance history. Annual tune-ups can add years of reliable service.

Is a leaking or smelly furnace an emergency?

Yes. Gas odor, visible cracks in the heat exchanger, water pooling around a high-efficiency furnace, or carbon-monoxide alarms require immediate professional attention.

How often should I change my furnace filter?

Check monthly and replace every 1–3 months, more often with pets, allergies, or construction dust. A clean filter is the simplest way to protect efficiency and air quality.

What’s the best month to book my tune-up?

August–October. Scheduling before the first cold front helps you avoid peak-season rush and ensures your furnace is ready when temps drop.
