Regular maintenance is the best insurance against mid-winter failures.
What a Professional Tune-Up Includes
- Replace or clean the air filter
- Inspect and clean burners and flame sensor
- Check ignition system
- Test safety controls and limit switches
- Inspect heat exchanger for cracks (gas units)

What You Can Do Monthly
Change or clean your filter every 1–3 months depending on type and household conditions (pets, allergies, construction). Keep supply and return vents clear of furniture and curtains.
Scheduling a professional tune-up each fall in Belmont helps your system start the heating season ready and can reveal small issues before they become expensive repairs.
