Heating Maintenance & Furnace Tune-Ups
Keeping families safe and warm through the cold winter months is important to us, because family and home mean everything to Nevadans. An affordable yearly heating tune-up saves money, extends the life of your furnace and catches small problems before the first cold night does.
What a heating tune-up covers
- Inspect and clean the burners, ignitor and flame sensor
- Visually inspect the heat exchanger for cracks and corrosion
- Test the safety controls: limit, pressure and rollout switches
- Check the blower motor, capacitor and electrical connections
- Check the venting and, on 90% furnaces, the condensate drain
- Check the filter and thermostat, then run a full heating cycle
Furnace safety tips
These simple steps keep your furnace in great shape, reduce your monthly bills and make your home safer:
- Clean or replace your filter once a month, or at least every two months.
- Install a carbon monoxide alarm near your furnace. It will warn you of a leak in the exhaust pipes.
- Check interior heating vents for blockages from furniture, rugs and toys.
- Install a smart programmable thermostat so you’re not heating an empty house.
- Keep the area around the furnace clear of boxes, paint and anything flammable.
Types of furnace filters
A better filter can save money over time, and if anyone in your home has allergies, filter quality matters even more:
- Disposable fiberglass filters: the least effective and usually the cheapest. They protect the furnace more than your lungs.
- Washable electrostatic filters: more effective than one-time fiberglass filters, and they can be cleaned and reused.
- 4–5 inch pleated filters: durable, changed less often, and our recommendation, because they do a better job removing allergens from the air.

FAQ
Heating Maintenance FAQ
How often should a furnace be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in the fall before you need heat. Heat pumps, which also cool, benefit from a spring visit too.
How often should I change my furnace filter?
Clean or replace it every month, or at least every two months. Homes with pets, allergies or nearby construction dust may need more frequent changes.
Does furnace maintenance really save money?
Yes. A clean, properly adjusted furnace burns less gas, and a tune-up often catches a weak part before it fails on the coldest night of the year.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm if my furnace is new?
Yes. Any home with gas appliances should have working CO alarms near the furnace and outside sleeping areas, whatever the age of the equipment.
