If your furnace has been sitting quiet all summer, fall is the time to get it checked — and one of the first questions homeowners ask us is a fair one: what does a furnace tune-up actually cost?
The short answer
A standard professional furnace tune-up around Monroe and Southwest Ohio typically runs $79 to $199. Our $49 Fall Heating Check-Up covers the heat exchanger safety check, burner and flame sensor cleaning, the blower and filter, the thermostat, and the safety controls in about 30 minutes.

What a Furnace Tune-Up Costs Around Monroe
Around Monroe and Southwest Ohio, a standard professional furnace tune-up typically runs between $79 and $199. Where you land in that range depends on a few things:
- The age and type of your system
- How thorough the inspection is
- Whether the technician finds anything that needs attention during the visit
Some companies advertise a low price to get in the door and then start upselling once they're inside. We've never operated that way, and we never will.
That's exactly why we run our $49 Fall Heating Check-Up every year. It's the same thorough visit we'd do at full price — not a watered-down version.
What's Included in the $49 Fall Heating Check-Up
Here's what our technician does on every single $49 visit:
- Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks (the big safety check — a cracked exchanger can leak carbon monoxide)
- Clean and check the burners for proper operation
- Wipe down the flame sensor — a dirty flame sensor is the number one cause of no-heat calls
- Check the blower motor and inspect the filter
- Test thermostat operation and measure temperature rise (how much the furnace warms the air passing through it)
- Check wiring, connections, and safety controls
The whole visit takes about 30 minutes, and when we're done you'll know exactly where your system stands before the first real cold snap.
Is $49 Too Good to Be True?
It's a fair question, and here's our honest answer. We're a family-owned company — owner Gary Reed has run this business in Monroe since 2005 — and we'd rather earn your trust with an honest, affordable check-up than surprise you with a big bill later. A lot of our long-term maintenance customers started with this exact visit.
If your system needs nothing, we'll tell you so. If it needs something, we'll show you the problem, explain your options in plain language, and give you an upfront price before any work happens.
When a Tune-Up Isn't Enough
One more honest answer while we're at it: a tune-up can't save a furnace that's truly at the end of its road. If your system is 15 or more years old and struggling, we'll tell you straight whether a repair makes sense or whether your money is better put toward a replacement. Either way, the $49 visit gives you the information you need to make a smart decision — and that's worth far more than $49.

Is a tune-up worth it on an older furnace?
Usually, because it tells you where you stand. A tune-up can't save a furnace that's at the end of its road, though.

Should I do anything before the technician arrives?
Not much. Clear a path to the furnace and move anything stored right next to it. If you'd like a head start, our fall furnace tune-up checklist walks through a 20-minute test run you can do on a mild afternoon. Anything unusual you've noticed, such as a new noise or a room that won't warm up, is worth mentioning to the technician. Not sure what counts?
