Once per year, ideally in early fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance keeps the equipment operating safely and efficiently, and helps catch small issues before they become winter emergencies.
A thorough furnace tune-up typically takes about an hour, depending on the system, its age and its condition. We don't rush the visit — the point is to actually inspect and adjust, not simply tick boxes.
Every 1–3 months for most standard 1-inch filters. High-efficiency media filters can run longer. Homes with pets or higher dust generally need more frequent changes.
Usually, yes. A clean, well-tuned furnace uses less energy to deliver the same amount of heat. The impact varies by home, but it's one of the highest-value habits a homeowner can build.
It won't eliminate every possible failure, but it dramatically reduces preventable ones. Most no-heat calls we respond to trace back to something a seasonal tune-up would have caught.
Yes. Annual maintenance protects the equipment and helps keep any applicable manufacturer coverage in place. ProperCare is the easiest way to stay on top of it.
