Start To Finish
What Happens During Your Tune-Up Visit
A tune-up appointment takes under two hours. Here’s the order our technicians actually work in, so you know what to expect from the knock on the door to the final report.
1
Safety Checks First
Gas pressure, gas leak, and carbon monoxide readings, before any panel comes off.
2
Full System Inspection
Burners, heat exchanger, blower motor, and electrical safety switches, checked and photographed.
2
Cleaning & Adjustment
Burners and filter cleaned or replaced, ignition and airflow adjusted to spec.
2
Full Heat-Cycle Test
We run a complete heating cycle to confirm the fix holds, not just a five-minute glance.
2
Written Report
You get a dated record of what was checked and serviced, useful for warranty claims later.
2
Upfront Quote On Issues
Anything that needs more than a tune-up gets priced before we touch it, never after.

Timing Matters
Best Time of Year to Book a Furnace Tune-Up
The price doesn’t change by season, but your wait time does. Here’s why booking early matters more than most homeowners realize.
-
September and October are the slow season.
Book a tune-up before the first cold snap and you'll typically get a same-week appointment instead of waiting. -
November through February is emergency season.
Once the cold hits, our schedule fills with no-heat calls first. A tune-up booked in this window can mean a longer wait, and a higher chance of finding a problem the hard way, mid-cold-snap. -
A pre-season tune-up catches small issues before they become no-heat calls.
Worn igniters and dirty flame sensors are the two most common causes of a January "no heat" emergency call, and both show up clearly during a routine fall tune-up.
Not sure whether your furnace’s warranty has this requirement? Bring us the model number and paperwork at your next visit and we’ll check.
Which Do You Need?
One-Time Tune-Up vs. Annual Maintenance Membership
Both keep your furnace running safely. The difference is whether you want to book once or stay covered all year.
One-Time Tune-Up (this page)
Best if you just moved in, missed last year’s visit, or want a pre-season check with no ongoing commitment. Flat $120–$200, no membership.
Annual Maintenance Membership
Best if you want priority scheduling, member pricing on repairs, and a checkup every year without having to remember to call. Starting at $19.95/month.
Not Sure If You Need One?
Signs You're Overdue for a Tune-Up
It's Been Over a Year
Manufacturers generally expect annual service. If you can’t remember your last visit, it’s time.
Higher Energy Bills, Same Usage
A furnace working harder to produce the same heat usually means dirty burners or a clogged filter.
New Noises on Startup
Banging, rattling, or a longer-than-usual delay before heat kicks in are early warning signs, not normal.
Uneven Heat Room to Room
Often airflow or blower related, and something a tune-up will catch and adjust.
You Just Moved In
You don’t know the service history. A tune-up gives you a documented baseline from day one.
Annual Membership: Free Furnace and AC Checkup + Extras Only $19.95/Month
$19.95
/ month
- Full 21-point furnace check and cleaning
- Priority scheduling, no waiting in line
- Member pricing on any repairs found

Adam arrived on schedule, diagnosed & fixed my no heat problem quickly. Thank you for the fast , friendly and honest service. .Posted on Google IBRAR AHMEDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My A/C system was down and house was boiling with high heat. I called Canadian Heating and Air condition and to my surprise they came within couple of hour and fixed my A/C. I highly recommend them for faster and reliable service.Posted on Google CKDMOBILETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the end-to-end experience with Canadian Heating and Air Conditioning. I highly recommend this company. I had to replace my furnace so I met with several companies and received multiple quotes. My advisor, Max, was really great to deal with - responsive, reliable and trustworthy. I can't say the same for many of the other companies I met with. He put together a package that exactly met our requirements for features, cost and installation timing. Plus, he was the only one who was thoughtful-enough to offer us the use of temporary heaters so we didn't freeze! The installation was equally impressive. Hans showed-up at 9am on the dot - exactly as agreed. The install went super smoothly and heat was returned quickly to the house. The new furnace install looks great and the furnace room was left even cleaner than when found! So great to have reliable heat again - a big thank you to Max, Hans and the CH&AC team!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
