LET'S TALK

When Should You Schedule Furnace Maintenance?

For most homes, the ideal time for a furnace tune-up is before heating season—typically in early fall. You should also consider scheduling service if you notice:


  • Uneven heating or rooms that never feel warm enough
  • Longer run times to reach the thermostat setting
  • New noises, odors, or frequent cycling
  • Rising heating bills with no clear reason


Not sure if your system is due? Give us a call—we’ll help you decide.

Real Reviews From Real Homeowners

In honor of Women's History Month Frank's put on an evening plumbing class for women which I attended with a friend. Abby, Mike and Frank were incredibly welcoming and generous with their time for this free event. Mike and Frank traded off during the presentation and their passion for their work was obvious. They let us ask as many questions as we wanted and provided thorough explanations of common household plumbing issues. Always make sure your sump pump is plugged in before you call a professional!

I especially appreciated that they were very clear that they would not be making any sales during or after the class. If you want to set up an appointment you have to call the next day. There was no pressure to buy anything, it was truly just a free service to better the community and that is hard to find these days.

"The whole team was so very helpful and made me feel comfortable..."

Was visiting family and a drain clogged up. I had to leave next day out of state and Franks plumbing (Kyle) came by. Kyle was so friendly, went above and beyond. Have had plumbers play tricks before and not with Frank's. Will be using them for life. The whole team was so very helpful and made me feel comfortable that I could trust them to work with my family member who was at the house.

"They were excellent and I will never go with any other company!"

Al and Dante were amazing! Very polite and professional. Al explained everything to both me and my husband so we could actually understand what is going on. Al said the sump pump looks good other than the roots that are growing inside. He told us exactly how to fix that problem. He was able to get the hot water tank lit again, but did honestly say it will most likely need to be replaced. Thank you for your great service!

"Both of these gentlemen had pure compassion for me as a customer."

I wanted to share my gratitude to Mike Russo (manager) for taking a lot of effort to keep me happy and take care of my sump pump issue quickly and for sending out one of his best techs (Seth) who was fantastic! Both of these gentlemen had pure compassion for me as a customer. A lot of places just want to fix it, get paid and leave. People who take the time to listen to the customer and talk/explain/etc. are what matters to us homeowners.

"...Diligent in explaining and showing what was going on...."

Tanis was prompt, professional, courteous, and solved our problem well. He was particularly diligent in explaining and showing what was going on and left the work area super clean. Great work!

"So beyond thankful for Mike, Abby, and Frank for their hospitality today during their class!"

I cannot begin to describe the amount of information they provided to us all... and the truly best part…the community they are building. I truly cannot wait to go to more classes in the future. Because of this class I know without a doubt who I will be calling for any plumbing needs moving forward. Thank you, Mike, Abby, and Frank!”

Why Furnace Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance helps your furnace do its job without working harder than it should. A seasonal tune-up can help:


  • Reduce the chance of surprise breakdowns
  • Improve heating performance and overall comfort
  • Support better efficiency and reduce energy waste
  • Extend the life of your furnace
  • Catch small issues early—before they turn into bigger repairs



Even if your furnace seems to be running “fine,” maintenance helps keep it dependable when you need it most.

Furnace Maintenance FAQs

  • How often should I schedule furnace maintenance?

    Most furnaces benefit from yearly maintenance, ideally before the heating season begins.

  • Does furnace maintenance really help prevent breakdowns?

    Maintenance can reduce the likelihood of many common issues by catching small problems early and helping the system operate properly.

  • How long does a furnace tune-up take?

    Timing varies by system, but many tune-ups can be completed during a standard service appointment. We’ll set expectations when you schedule.

  • Is it normal to smell something when the heat turns on?

    A brief, mild odor can be normal at the start of the season. Strong or persistent odors should be checked.

  • What can I do between maintenance visits?

    Change filters as recommended, keep vents unblocked, and contact us if you notice unusual noises, odors, or performance changes.

Maintenance Helps Prevent Repairs—But It Can’t Fix Everything

A tune-up can reduce the chance of many common failures, but it can’t reverse worn-out parts or fix existing issues automatically. If your furnace is already struggling, maintenance is still valuable—because it helps identify the cause and plan the right next step.



If repairs are needed, we’ll explain what’s going on and help you prioritize what matters most.
