The tasks we perform and why they are important for your home:
Clean furnace filters, fans, grills, and duct ends
Dirty components allow more dust, pet dander, and allergens to circulate, reducing the efficiency of your system and causing poor indoor air quality.
Inspect HVAC connections, drains, temperature settings, air ducts, and valves
Loose or damaged connections, clogged drains, blocked ducts, and malfunctioning valves can all cause your furnace to fail.
Clean all fireplace components (glass, pilots, frame)
Keeping grills clean ensures they properly circulate clean air.
Change or clean HRV/ERV system, components, and filter(s)
Keeping your system free of debris maintains its efficiency and prevents polluted air from cycling back into your home.
Lubricate HRV/ERV/air-to-air fans
Lubricating fans prevents them from sticking or functioning improperly.
Clean furnace filters, fans, grills, and duct ends
Dirty components allow more dust, pet dander, and allergens to circulate, reducing the efficiency of your system and causing poor indoor air quality.
Common Questions
On average, a typical furnace tune-up costs around $300 per visit. HomeKeep furnace tune-ups are included with all other services in our maintenance bundles that start at just $399 per year.
A furnace filter should be changed about every 3 months but smoking, the number of occupants, and pets can require more frequent changes. HomeKeep changes your filters for you at each twice-yearly appointment as needed.
A furnace should be serviced at least once per year, preferably semi-annually. HomeKeep services your HVAC system twice per year.
The heat exchanger is the most expensive and vital part of the furnace. If an exchanger is damaged it will likely require a whole furnace replacement. Other expensive parts to replace include the blower motor, inducer motor, circuit board, and gas valve. Regular maintenance with HomeKeep can help prevent furnace damage.
A standard furnace service includes a general tune-up, a thorough inspection of all parts, and an examination of its operation, all of which HomeKeep performs.
