Why annual furnace maintenance matters
Annual furnace maintenance is one of the most effective ways to keep your heating system running well through a Minnesota winter.
Here is what regular maintenance may do for your heating system:
Supports safe furnace operation
The heat exchanger inspection and carbon monoxide check are among the most important parts of the visit. A cracked heat exchanger can allow carbon monoxide to enter your home without any visible sign of a problem.
Helps your system run more efficiently
Dirty burners, restricted airflow and out-of-spec gas input can reduce how effectively your furnace converts fuel into heat. Cleaning and adjusting these components during a tune-up may help your system run closer to its designed efficiency.
Reduces the likelihood of unexpected repairs
Many furnace failures have early warning signs — worn parts, minor component issues, unusual readings — that a qualified technician can identify before they lead to a breakdown. Addressing small issues proactively is generally less expensive than an emergency repair call.
Supports your manufacturer’s warranty
Many furnace manufacturers require documented annual maintenance as a condition of the warranty. Keeping a written report of your tune-up can help demonstrate that the system has been properly maintained.
Prepares your system for a Minnesota winter
Furnaces in Minnesota work harder and longer than in many parts of the country. Scheduling a tune-up before the heating season begins helps prepare your system when temperatures drop.

Simplify your home maintenance with the Home Service Plus Maintenance Plan
If you want to keep your furnace and other home systems on a regular maintenance schedule without having to track it yourself, the Home Service Plus Maintenance Plan may be worth considering.

The cost of an HSP Maintenance Plan is less than purchasing each service separately.
Frequently asked questions about furnace tune-ups
How often should I schedule a furnace tune-up?
Most HVAC professionals and furnace manufacturers recommend annual maintenance — once per year. Regular service can help catch small issues before they become larger, more expensive problems.
Do I need to be a CenterPoint Energy gas customer?
No. Home Service Plus furnace tune-up service is available to homeowners across the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota, regardless of your energy provider.
What is the difference between a tune-up and a repair?
A tune-up is proactive maintenance. A technician inspects, cleans and adjusts your furnace to help it run safely and efficiently. A repair is a response to something that has already stopped working or broken down. Annual tune-ups can help reduce the likelihood of unexpected repairs.
What if the technician finds a problem during the visit?
The technician will provide a written report of findings. If a repair is needed, HSP can discuss next steps with you. If you have a Home Service Plus repair plan, covered repairs may be handled through your plan.
My home has more than one furnace. Can I schedule tune-ups for both?
Yes. Additional furnace tune-ups are available at $104.95 each when scheduled during the same visit.
What is the Maintenance Plan and how is it different from a one-time tune-up?
The Maintenance Plan is billed monthly and includes two seasonal tune-ups — one for your heating system and one for your cooling system — along with additional services like a water heater inspection and dryer vent cleaning. A one-time furnace tune-up can be scheduled and doesn’t require you to sign up for the Maintenance Plan.
