Furnace Tune-up Cost

The cost of a tune-up will vary depending on your location and the contractor who is servicing your heater. Regardless, all heating system manufacturers recommend that you get annual tune-ups by a qualified HVAC professional. If your system is still under warranty, then most manufacturers will not cover damage to your unit unless it is properly maintained. Some homeowners understand the importance of a tune-up when it is compared to buying a new car. Would you ever buy a new car and never give it an oil change. No, probably not. Maintaining your HVAC system is similar.

A tune-up for most gas furnaces range between $80 to $130. Oil furnace tune-ups cost between $75 to $125. Of course, this
depends on where you are located and the contractor that you choose. By investing in a tune-up service, your furnace will last
longer. It will also prevent unnecessary repairs and breakdowns. It basically makes your system run more efficiently and
effectively.

Furnace Tune-up: How Often

If you talk to any HVAC expert, they will always agree on one thing. It is important to get an annual heating system tune-up.
It is best to get it in the fall, right before the cold season starts and when you depend on your heater the most. This helps
prevent  heater breaks down at the peak of the cold weather. It extends the life of your heater. Also, if your system
is covered under a warranty, most manufacturers will not cover the damage to a poorly maintained unit. It is possible that your
furnace can break down right in the middle of the winter with no signs which will leave you in the cold. A tune-up prevents
dangerous carbon monoxide leaks from happening in your home. Carbon monoxide leaks lead to serious health issues and even
fatalities.

If you haven't scheduled an annual heating system tune-up, then it is never too late. Getting one right in the middle of the cold weather is better than not getting one at all. Give Result Home Services a call to schedule a heating system tune-up today!
