Furnace Cleaning & Annual Maintenance
Keeping Your Home Efficient & Reliable
One of the most important things you can do for your home is to arrange for an annual furnace cleaning. A dirty furnace is an inefficient furnace, neglecting it can lead to higher energy bills and stressful, unexpected breakdowns just as the temperature drops. Our licensed technicians perform a comprehensive check-up to find and prevent potential problems before they start.
Protecting Your Warranty & Insurance
Professional annual servicing is a critical requirement to keep your manufacturer's warranty valid. Furthermore, many insurance companies require proof of professional maintenance to maintain your home coverage. By scheduling your annual visit, you ensure your home stays at optimum efficiency while meeting these essential professional requirements.
Did you know? It is an Ontario Gas and Oil Code requirement to have an annual furnace maintenance performed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my furnace & air conditioner?
Annually. Having an annual service will ensure that your equipment is safe and efficient.
Why do I need annual maintenance if my system is working fine?
Think of HVAC maintenance like an oil change for your car. Even if it’s running, a professional tune-up ensures your system stays safe, maintains its manufacturer warranty, and operates at peak efficiency. Small adjustments now prevent expensive emergency repairs during a heatwave or a cold snap.
What is included in a Therwood maintenance visit?
Our licensed technicians perform a comprehensive multi-point inspection tailored to your specific equipment. Here is what we focus on:
Furnace Maintenance:
- Safety Testing: Carbon monoxide check and heat exchanger inspection.
- Precision Cleaning: Burners, sensor probes, and blower components.
- Performance Check: Testing gas pressure, venting, and safety limit controls.
- System Calibration: Thermostat testing and electrical amp-draw check.
Air Conditioner Maintenance:
- Efficiency Cleaning: Deep cleaning of outdoor condenser coils.
- System Health: Verifying refrigerant levels and inspecting the capacitor.
- Leak Prevention: Clearing condensate drain lines to prevent water damage.
- Electrical Tune-up: Tightening connections and testing the contactor.
How often should I change my furnace filters?
For most residential systems, we recommend changing your filter every 3 months. However, if you have pets, allergies, or a high-occupancy home, checking them monthly is a good habit. A clean filter is the easiest way to prevent your equipment from overheating and shutting down.
Can a maintenance plan actually lower my monthly bills?
Yes. A neglected system has to work harder and run longer to reach the same temperature. By ensuring your motors are lubricated and your coils are debris-free, your system draws less power (hydro) and uses less fuel (gas/propane), putting money back in your pocket every month.
How long does a typical maintenance appointment take?
A thorough residential maintenance visit usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes. We take the time to do it right, rather than just rushing through a checklist, so you can have total peace of mind for the season ahead.
