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 was professional and was able to fix my heat. I had another worker come 2 days ago to fix the same issue who wasn’t as professional and seemed to be in a rush. Heat did not turn on after he left and I was charged a service fee plus labor and parts. Thankfully I was not charged again.

Very pleased with the installation of the two new boilers, a 100,000 btu steam boiler and a forced hot water heater since needing the heating systems separated for my tenants. The crew and management worked together well and strove for customer satisfaction. The crew worked with me addressing issues and worked to resolve all issues. Tim, Tony and Rob, the field supervisors are on the ball and work to resolve all issues both with the boilers and electrical. Roselio, Jacob and Byron are amazing employees and hard workers.

Kevin and his partner were quick and efficient
The technician was great! The scheduling was a bit challenging. I scheduled an appointment with someone in the office then a week later, I got a call indicating that they wouldn’t be able to perform the service. Never told why. I booked another date for service and received a call from the office that the technician wouldn’t be able to make my 4 hour window.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my furnace serviced?

We recommend scheduling a professional furnace tune-up once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. Regular maintenance keeps your system efficient, prevents breakdowns, and ensures your warranty remains valid.

What happens during a furnace maintenance visit?

During a GEM tune-up, a NATE-certified technician inspects, cleans, and tests your entire heating system. We check safety controls, clean burners and blower components, replace or clean filters, and verify that your furnace is operating safely and efficiently.

Why is furnace maintenance important?

Annual maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, lowers energy costs, and extends your furnace’s lifespan. It also improves indoor air quality and ensures your system runs safely through the coldest months.
