What’s Included in a GEM Furnace Tune-Up

When you schedule furnace maintenance with GEM, you get more than a quick inspection.

Here’s a step-by-step look at your comprehensive, professional tune-up designed to keep your system running safely and efficiently all season long. Our NATE-certified HVAC technicians follow a detailed, multi-point checklist during every visit to ensure nothing is overlooked.

We check for carbon monoxide leaks, inspect the heat exchanger, check electrical connections, and confirm all safety controls are operating properly to keep your home safe and secure.

Proper lubrication minimizes friction and prevents premature wear on motors, bearings, and fans—helping extend the life of your equipment.

Dust and debris can limit airflow and strain your system. Our team cleans burners, blower assemblies, flame sensors, and other components to ensure smooth, efficient operation.

We start up your furnace and monitor it through a complete cycle—checking for proper ignition, airflow, and temperature output.

We inspect your furnace filter and replace it if necessary to help maintain good indoor air quality and airflow.

At the end of your tune-up, you’ll receive a detailed summary of your furnace’s condition, any recommended repairs, and maintenance tips to keep it performing at its best.

Steven and Diego arrived to check out our system and were able to get everything up and running. They were professionally, efficient and friendly. GEM Plumbing employees are always top notch!
Two technicians came to assess my minisplit which has been leaking. They spent a lot of time working hard to find an answer which unfortunately ended in needing a follow up appointment with a handyman through GEM, to resolve an issue with my unit. But while the techs were here they really tried very hard to resolve the issue. I give them an A for effort.
New resident needing plumber to improve drainage of bathroom sinks and stop leaky faucets. As first plumber I called did not call me back, I called Gem for help. William and Mark were sent to provide service within 2 hours. Problems corrected after thorough discussion of options and pricing for each. Selected the replacement option for leaking faucets, which resulted in spending more money than anticipated, but they selected good looking faucets from supplier and returned to install them. I elected to enter into a one year contract to secure HVAC service for the year, eliminating the dispatch fee. I am pleased with the new well functioning faucets. Good communication with technicians and office representative, Melissa.
They were both great. They explained everything very well.

Very professional and knowledgeable on what needs to be done
Did a great job
The crew.
Was very respectful of my property and worked very efficiently. The clean up after the work was accomplished was impeccable. I highly recommend them without reservation.
Very responsive to my off-hours request for heating repair on a holiday weekend; technician resolved problem. Communication was very good (updates about arrival time, etc.).
John P replaced a capacitor on my AC unit and got it working again. He had to get onto the roof to reach it which is not easy. I asked John a lot of questions about AC and heating units and he is very knowledgeable and helpful
If I could give Douglas 6 stars, I would. He is knowledgeable, and really cares. Did a great job and made recommendations. Not his first time here and always detail oriented.
Anthony Pena was great, he did great work, very fast on fixing our 1 year old water heater union valve and was very nice
Highly recommended 5 stars all day

Thanks, guys!
Needed an install of a faucet and toilet. The team arrived on time and was able to provide me an overview of what needed to be done and transparency with the pricing. Wrapped it up in a shirt while and looks great!
Great service. On time and reasonably priced. Came out to double check on an issue that was still unresolved at no charge.
I got Steve and his colleague from GEM Plumbing to work on my heat pump. I would highly suggest them. They were very patient with all of the explanations of what was wrong and made sure I understood everything. They also gave me a rundown on changing air filters and educated me on all of the necessary information. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. The entire process, including diagnostics and problem resolution, took less than two hours.
James called explaining he was at our cottage for AC maintenance and checking on our new system.
Quick, easy, efficient and clean and Courteous.
Brody and his assistant did an amazing job fixing out central air. Both were friendly and super knowledgeable. GEM got us a small day appointment. If your looking for a company that has your back, look no further.
Davontay did an amazing job going through my A/C system and Nest thermostat to make sure it is properly running. He was very thorough and explained things clearly
